Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of John Marston Hall, Vol. 3 of 3 Before we quitted Dumont, however, Mon sieur de Villardin, who never left any service I did him unrequited, proposed to give me in exchange, for the very uncertain pension which the government had bestowed upon me, a farm which lay contiguous to Juvigny, and which certainly rendered my baronial lands of a very respectable extent. I pointed out to the Duke that the present rents of the farm were far more than the amount of the pension, and that it was likely to yield still more, but' he insisted upon the arrangement, and ~i clearly saw that he wished to recompense the assistance I had afforded him at the hotel de Ville, without ren dering his gift burdensome, by bestowing it in the shape of a reward.
