And now it's that young dog Jack! te-he! yes, it's Jack, now! But he's a good son, my boy Jack; he's a good son to me and he's all Dysart, all Dysart; bon chien chasse de race! te-he! Oui, ma fois! bon chien chasse de race." By the first of January it became plain that there was not very much left of Colonel Mallett's fortune, less of his business reputation, and even less of his wife's health.
The method of training a pilot for a small, fast avion de chasse, as a fighting airplane is termed, is quite different, and as it is the most thorough and interesting I will take that course up in greater detail. The man who trains for one of these machines never has the advantage of going first into the air in a double-control airplane.
"Oh, the money went in the commotion; and although I have got some seven pounds odd shillings of it, the war was a most expensive one to me. I caught old Mahony very busy under the table during the fray; but let us say no more about it now draw over your chair. Tea or coffee? there's the rum if you like it 'chasse."
Even the poorly endowed churches of the villages boast the possession of miraculous thigh-bones of the innumerable saints of the Romish calendar. Aix-la-Chapelle is proud of the veritable chasse, or thigh-bone of Charlemagne, which cures lameness. Halle has a thighbone of the Virgin Mary; Spain has seven or eight, all said to be undoubted relics.
"Why, General Chasse of course," said Miss Grogram. "They were the general's," repeated the two young ladies; blushing, however, as they alluded to the subject. "Well, we thought they were the general's, certainly; and a very excellent article they were," said Mrs. Jones. "Perhaps they were the butler's?" said Aunt Sally. I certainly had not given her credit for so much sarcasm.
Ah! le Comte de Belle Chasse How many women already he has lost! It is a real triumph to Madame de Connal to have him in her chains. What a smile! C'est lui qui est aimable pour nous autres d'une soumission pour les femmes d'une fierte pour les hommes. As the lamb gentle for the pretty woman; as the lion terrible for the man. It is that Comte de Belle Chasse who is absolutely irresistible."
'I am pushed to ye last point, and so won't be cagioled any more. He collected his treasures left with Mittie, the surgeon of Stanislas at Luneville. Among these was a couteau de chasse, with a double-barrelled pistol in a handle of jade. D'Argenson reports that the Prince was seen selling his pistols to an armourer in Paris. Who can wonder if he lost temper, and sought easy oblivion in wine!
From a later note of the Duke's, it appears that Reeve was unable to accept the invitation to the passable chasse, which he would have enjoyed, especially as after four years there was no longer a question of the 'loose box' or the 'kitchen dresser.
And he is so sincere and natural in it. He has no conception of the dramatic possibilities of a situation something to be profoundly thankful for in the commander of an escadrille de chasse. Situations are dramatic enough, tense enough, without one's taking thought of the fact. He might have stood there, watch in hand, counting off the seconds.
Jealous one of the other, with the most comical rivalry, of the least occurrence at the 'Cercle des Champs-Elysees' or of the Rue Royale in the Eternal City, they affected, in the presence of their colleagues of la chasse, the impassive manner of augurs when the telegraph brought them the news of some Parisian scandal.
