CHAPTER I. HEALTHFUL HOUSE.

The carte de visite received that day, June 15, 189—, by the director of the establishment of Healthful House was a very neat one, and simply bore, without escutcheon or coronet, the name:
COUNT D’ARTIGAS.
Below this name, in a corner of the card, the following address was written in lead pencil:
The capital of North Carolina—one of the forty-four states of the union at this epoch2—is the rather important town of Raleigh, which is about one hundred and fifty miles in the interior of the province. It is owing to its central position that this city has become the seat of the State legislature, for there are others that equal and even surpass it in industrial and commercial importance, such as Wilmington, Charlotte, Fayetteville, Edenton, Washington, Salisbury, Tarborough, Halifax, and New-Berne. The latter town is situated3 on estuary4 of the Neuse River, which empties itself into Pamlico Sound, a sort of vast maritime5 lake protected by a natural dyke6 formed by the isles7 and islets of the Carolina coast.
The director of Healthful House could never have imagined why the card should have been sent to him, had it not been accompanied by a note from the Count d’Artigas soliciting8 permission to visit the establishment. The personage in question hoped that the director would grant his request, and announced that he would present himself in the afternoon, accompanied by Captain Spade, commander of the schooner Ebba.
