Things utterly extravagant. (ARG: But what?) He spoke of no less than five or six hundred pistoles. (ARG: Five or six hundred agues to choke him withal. Does he think me a fool?) Just what I told him. I laughed his proposal to scorn, and made him understand that you were not a man to be duped in that fashion, and of whom anyone can ask five or six hundred pistoles! However, after much talking, this is what we decided upon. "The time is now come," he said, "when I must go and rejoin the army. I am buying my equipments, and the want of money I am in forces me to listen to what you propose. I must have a horse, and I cannot obtain one at all fit for the service under sixty pistoles."
