Truly, 'tis an odd motto of yours, Mr. Sliandv-—.and 
wliat can it have to do with Golden Plieasants ! 1 tvill tell 
you, my dear Madam;—There are no secrets between you 
and mo; hut, truly, had tlicre been a score; why, heaven 
In.'lp me, if I could have kept one of tliem ! ’Twas simply 
thus ; Prancis the Pirst being very low in pocket, and owing 
Sweden a large sum of money; bethought liim, that he 
would pay her, not witli gold, hut with a compliment. He 
proposed, therefore, tliat Sweden should stand godmother.
