The Grandissimes

CHAPTER XVIII
11/13

The elder bought houses and became a _rentier_.
* * * * * The landlord handed the apothecary the following writing: MR.

JOSEPH FROWENFELD: Think not that anybody is to be either poisoned by me nor yet to be made a sufferer by the exercise of anything by me of the character of what is generally known as grigri, otherwise magique.

This, sir, I do beg your permission to offer my assurance to you of the same.

Ah, no! it is not for that! I am the victim of another entirely and a far differente and dissimilar passion, _i.e._, Love.

Esteemed sir, speaking or writing to you as unto the only man of exclusively white blood whom I believe is in Louisiana willing to do my dumb, suffering race the real justice, I love Palmyre la Philosophe with a madness which is by the human lips or tongues not possible to be exclaimed (as, I may add, that I have in the same like manner since exactley nine years and seven months and some days).
