It was not a dress rehearsal but the too solid Prince wore his hair low on his neck and a golden fillet bound his brows. Silent, he was noble. His walk as he came in at the end of a procession of court ladies and gentlemen was magnificent slow, dejected, imperious, aloof. But Wittenberg had a great deal to answer for, if he had contracted his accent there.
"I wasn't moping " I began sullenly. "Now, sulky sulky!" interrupted Chappy. "I wasn't moping. I went and got a thousand lines from Mr. Fillet " "Yes, I know. The damned old stinker!" said Chappy, always coarse and delightful. I think I loved him for those words. I felt that my allies were swinging into line for the great war against Carpet Slippers. There was Doe, and now Chappy.
Fillet requested the lawyer to proceed with his story, which, after three hems, he accordingly prosecuted in these words: "I told you, gemmen, that Mr. Greaves was mounted on Scipio, when he saw Miss Darnel and her mother in danger of being hurried over a precipice.
She seemed to grow older than he; the maternal element leaped to the fore; their positions were instantly reversed. It was hers to care for him! After a long time, his arms relaxed about her, and she undid them and disposed them in easy position. Lifting the fillet from his brow, she smoothed out the mark it had made and settled the cushions more softly under his head.
For when, after the sacred rites of the Latin festival, he was returning home, amidst the immoderate and unusual acclamations of the people, a man in the crowd put a laurel crown, encircled with a white fillet , on one of his statues; upon which, the tribunes of the people, Epidius Marullus, and Caesetius Flavus, ordered the fillet to be removed from the crown, and the man to be taken to prison.
There was a confusion of cheers within and without the building; and Upton, Fillet, and Jerry Brisket, the judges, were to be seen in animated debate, while many others stood round and listened. Dazed, faint, and unconscious of the passage of momentous events, I took no notice of them, but drank deeply of victory.
Our little supper is our little adventure. I hope you will enjoy both, my dear." "You did take some chance, did you not?" she said slowly. "It might be a chance." "But you will be so nervous you can't enjoy your spread." "Not in the least, Helena. A nervous man has no business in the trade of piracy; but, ah! the fillet of trout, Helena."
As she bent down to dip up some of the water in her hand, a few drops were sprinkled upon her brass fillet, and it fell from her head. "Why, this is the very fountain," she exclaimed; "I did not know it." When she raised her head, the free mountain wind blew through her hair, and she felt as light-hearted and happy as the bird which had found its nest.
Their general, who rode on a car drawn by panthers, was quite beardless, with not even a vestige of fluff on his face, had horns, was crowned with grape-clusters, his hair tied with a fillet, his cloak purple, and his shoes of gold.
Take three or four pounds of a fillet of veal, cut in small thin slices; then take a clean stewpan, butter it on the inside; season your collops with beaten mace, nutmeg, and salt; dust them over with flour, and lay them into your stewpan, piece by piece, till all your meat is in: set it over the stove, and toss it up together, till all your meat be white.
