following the direction of his gaze I notice
something written on the mortar with a piece of
coal. It looks like the letters F and S interlaced,
which are the initials of my wife’s name.
She loves me still! The next moment I see, as
by a flash, that it is the chemical symbol for
ferrum (iron) and sulphur, and the secret of
gold lies revealed before my gaze. I search the
ground and find two leaden seals fastened
together by a string. One displays the initials
V. P., the other, a king’s crown. Without
committing myself to a further interpretation of
this adventure, I return to Paris with the
lively impression of having experienced
something bordering on the marvellous.
