If I walk into a pitfall, it shall not be after having seen it made. I must meet General Brunet, however. I shall invite him here with an escort of twenty soldiers; promising to limit my own guard to that number." "He will not come," said Monsieur Pascal.
We hesitated for a time between "Le Gris" and "Souris," two much-vaunted animals, belonging to Paquette, the interpreter. At length, being determined, like most of my sex, by a regard for exterior, I chose "Le Gris," and "Souris" was assigned to young Roy; my own little stumpy pony, "Brunet," being pronounced just the thing for a pack-saddle.
When consulting sale catalogues to select reference books, look closely at the dates of publication, and make sure by your American or English catalogues that no later edition has appeared. It goes without saying that you will have these essential bibliographies, as well as Lowndes' Manual of English Literature first of all, whether you are able to buy Watt and Brunet or not.
Huge was the success of Sewrin's and Dumersan's Anglaises pour rire, with Brunet and Potier travestied as grandes dames, dancing a jig so vigorously that they lost their skirts. The same species of revanche was indulged in when Lady Morgan, the novelist, came to France, seeking material for a popular book describing French customs.
The spurious labor pains passed away, and after being assured that no real pregnancy existed in her case, Mary went into violent hysterics, and Philip, disgusted with the whole affair, deserted her; then commenced the persecution of the Protestants, which blighted the reign. Putnam cites the case of a healthy brunet, aged forty, the mother of three children.
"Hey, by the powers, you folks!" said Vermichel, "you've brought him in for the last three years more than you are worth. Ha! that master at Les Aigues, he has his eye upon you; he'll punch you in the ribs; he's after you, the Shopman! Brunet says, if there were three such landlords in the valley his fortune would be made." "What new harm are they going to do to the poor?" asked Marie.
Soon their dream attracted other recruits, and presently seven friends, whose names are all famous now, and most of whom have statues in Arles or in Avignon Roumanille, Mistral, Aubanel, Mathieu, Giéra, Brunet, and Tavan after the manner of Ronsard's "Pléiade," and Rossetti's "P.R.B." formed themselves into a brotherhood to carry on the great work of regeneration.
Both master and servant insisted that I must have letters, whether I would, or no! To my amazement, however, Brunet came back with a small sealed box in his hands. "No letters have arrived for Monsieur," he said; "but this box was left with the porter about an hour ago." I weighed it, shook it, examined the seals, and, going into the public room, desired Brunet to follow me. There I opened it.
It is now ten, you have only two hours left." "My poor father!" "Brunet," continued the Doctor, "shall go back with you to your lodgings and help you to pack. As for money " He took out his pocket-book and offered me a couple of notes; but I shook my head and put them from me. "I have enough money, thank you," I said. "Good-bye."
"Good-bye," he replied, and, for the first time in all these months, shook me by the hand. "You will write to me?" I bowed my head in silence, and we parted. I found a cab at the door, and Brunet on the box. I was soon at home again. Home! I felt as if I had no home now, either in France or England as if all my Paris life were a brief, bright dream, and this the dreary waking. Hortense was out.
