The Bed-Book of Happiness by Harold Begbie The Great Cond??? passing through the city of Sens, which belonged to Burgundy, and of which he was the governor, took great pleasure in disconcerting the different companies who came to compliment him. The Abb??? Boileau, brother of the poet, was commissioned to make a speech to the Prince at the head of the chapter. Cond??? wishing to disconcert the orator, advanced his head and large nose towards the Abb???, as if with the intention of hearing him more distinctly, but in reality to make him blunder if possible. The Abb???, who perceived his design, pretended to be greatly embarrassed, and thus began his speech: "My lord, your highness ought not to be surprised to see me tremble, when I appear before you at the head of a company of ecclesiastics; were I at the head of an army of thirty thousand men, I should tremble much more." The Prince was so charmed with this sally that he embraced the orator without suffering him to proceed. He asked his name; and when he found that he was brother to M. Despreaux, he redoubled his attentions, and invited him to dinner. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
