The pupil, who was well assured of the true motive,
allowed his governor to enjoy the triumph of his own penetration,
and consoled himself with the hope of seeing his dulcinea again at
some of the public places in Paris, which he proposed to frequent.
Thus comforted, he visited the magnificent stables and palace of
Chantilly, and immediately after dinner set out for Paris, where
they arrived in the evening, and hired apartments at an hotel in
the Faubourg St. Germaine, not far from the playhouse.
CHAPTER XXXIX.
He is involved in an Adventure at Paris, and taken prisoner by the
City Guard--Becomes acquainted with a French Nobleman, who introduces
him in the Beau Monde.
They were no sooner settled in these lodgings, than our hero wrote
to his uncle an account of their safe arrival, and sent another
letter to his friend Gauntlet, with a very tender billet inclosed
for his dear Emilia, to whom he repeated all his former vows of
constancy and love.
The next care that engrossed him was that of bespeaking several suits
of clothes suitable to the French mode; and, in the mean time, he
never appeared abroad, except in the English coffee-house, where he
soon became acquainted with some of his own countrymen, who were
at Paris on the same footing with himself.
