"Will you please ask Catrina to send me money through the usual channel? No more than she has been sending. It will suffice for my small wants. Perhaps some day we may meet in Switzerland or in America. Tell the dear child that. Tell her I pray the good God to allow that meeting. As for Russia, her day has not come yet. It will not come in our time, my dear friend. We are only the sowers. So much for the future. Now about the past. I have not been idle.

"Will you please ask Catrina to send me money through the usual channel? No more than she has been sending. It will suffice for my small wants. Perhaps some day we may meet in Switzerland or in America. Tell the dear child that. Tell her I pray the good God to allow that meeting. As for Russia, her day has not come yet.

I know who stole the papers of the Charity League and sold them. I know who bought them and paid for them." Steinmetz closed the door. He came back to the table. He was not smiling now -- quite the contrary. "Tell me," he said. "I want to know that badly." The Count Lanovitch looked up with a peculiar soft smile -- acquired in prison. There is no mistaking it. "Oh, I bear no ill will," he said. "I do," answered Steinmetz bluntly. "Who stole the papers from Thors?"
The Sowers is a novel written by Henry Seton Merriman and published in 1895. The story takes place in France during the 1800s and follows the lives of two brothers, Henri and Raoul de Sainfoy. Henri is a successful lawyer who becomes embroiled in a political scandal and is forced to flee the country. Raoul, on the other hand, is a carefree artist who falls in love with a young woman named Helene. As the story unfolds, the brothers' lives take very different paths. Henri becomes involved in a revolutionary movement and becomes a leader of the resistance, while Raoul struggles to maintain his artistic pursuits and keep his relationship with Helene intact. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and political upheaval, as well as the complex relationship between the two brothers.Merriman's writing style is characterized by vivid descriptions of the French countryside and the political turmoil of the time.

Autorenporträt
Henry Seton Merriman was an English author who wrote under the name Henry Seton Merriman. He was born on May 9, 1862, and died on November 19, 1903. The Sowers, his best-known book, was published thirty times in the UK. He was born in Newcastle upon Tyne and worked as an underwriter at Lloyd's of London. After that, he started traveling and writing books, many of which became great hits. Scott went to India as a tourist in 1877 and 1878, and the setting for his 1896 book Flotsam was India. He really loved traveling, and he did a lot of it with his friend and fellow author Stanley J. Weyman. On June 19, 1889, Scott married Ethel Frances Hall. They didn't have any kids. Scott was surprisingly humble and quiet for his personality. He died at Melton, Suffolk, in 1903 of appendicitis. He was 41 years old. In his will, Scott gave £5,000 to Evelyn Beatrice Hall, who was his sister-in-law and a fellow writer. Hall is best known for writing The Friends of Voltaire, a biography. Scott said the gift was a "thank you for all the help and advice she gave me as a writer; without it, I would never have been able to make a living from my writing."
