"'T is naught to me what he has done," interrupted Janice, proudly; "nor did I give him the right to intervene." "You must not give yourself to Clowes. 'T is ah rather than see that I'll speak out." "About what?" "Leftenant Hennion is not dead! 'T was but another of Clowes' lies, and your father shall know it, let him do his worst."
"Thet 'ere is a lie!" cried Hennion, yet following the officer. "It is, if you never signed such a paper," remarked Jack, drily. "I defy yer ter show it." challenged Hennion. "If you want sight of it, introduce the bill," retorted the aide. "Say, colonel," said Bagby, with a decided cringe, "you won't use those documents against your old friends, will you?"
Several examples of this have already occurred with prominent American ladies who permanently reside here. I spoke with M. Hennion, the prefect of police, on the subject, and he said that "such malicious accusations" and he showed me a pile of denunciations nearly a yard high "were never acted upon, unless under really suspicious circumstances." One of Mr.
hummed Janice. "Of course, one does n't think about men, Mistress Tabitha. One feels." Which remark showed perception of a feminine truth far in advance of Miss Meredith's years. "Unfeeling Janice!" "'T is a good thing for the oafs and ploughboys of Brunswick. For there are none better." "Philemon Hennion?"
One incident which happened shortly after the proposed elopement, and which cannot be passed over without mention, was a call from Squire Hennion on Mr. Meredith.

He will go with his wife as far as the outer fortifications in the direction of Versailles. The news of the election of Cardinal Jacques della Chiesa as Pope, with the title Benoit XV, does not arouse as much public interest here as does the nomination of M. Emile Laurent as Prefect of Police, in place of M. Hennion who, on account of ill health, retires at his own request.
"We'll call it twenty-two thousand," said McClave, "since Mr. Bagby persists. Will you give any more?" "One hunded more," said Hennion; and nobody offering above him, it was knocked down at that price. As the sale was declared completed, Bagby rose. "At least, I made you pay double for it," he growled spitefully to his competitor.
