The Vicomte de Bragelonne

CHAPTER XIX
6/9

The borrower gives me in pledge some raw sugars, on condition that I should sell if repayment were not made within a fixed period.

I lend a thousand livres.

He does not pay me, and I sell the sugars for thirteen hundred livres.

He learns this and claims a hundred crowns.

_Ma foi!_ I refused, pretending that I could not sell them for more than nine hundred livres.
