Modeste Mignon

CHAPTER XI
10/16

You are a rich man, now, Dumay.

Your share, outside of my own fortune, amounts to five hundred and sixty thousand francs, for which I send you herewith a check, which can only be paid to you in person by the Mongenods, who have been duly advised from New York.
A few short months, and I shall see you all again, and all well, I trust.

My dear Dumay, if I write this letter to you it is because I am anxious to keep my fortune a secret for the present.

I therefore leave to you the happiness of preparing my dear angels for my return.

I have had enough of commerce; and I am resolved to leave Havre.
