This is the second volume. It was picked up in the Tuileries after that palace was sacked." I told him mine must be the preceding volume, because I did not know there was any continuation. The prayers of the church had not been my study. "Where did you get yours, Lazarre?" "Madame de Ferrier gave it to me.
Her governess breathed the usual sigh of disgust. I sat by my dearest Annabel, anxious to light my candle and open my books. She shook the frizzes around her cheeks and buried her hands under the scarlet branch in her lap. "Do you know, Lazarre Williams, I have to leave you?" I said I was sorry to hear it.
De Ferrier might have plowed with Eagle," said the count hotly. "He never hesitated to make use of her." While I had been living a monk's studious, well-provided life, was she toiling in the fields? I groaned aloud. De Chaumont dropped his head on his breast. "It hurts me more than I care to let anybody but you know, Lazarre. If I hadn't received that letter I should have avoided you.
"I hope you put them neatly together" "Nothing of the kind. I scattered them." "Do you want me to go bare into the world?" I laughed. "Lazarre," said my master, "you were a good lad, studious and zealous beyond anything I ever saw." "And now I am bad and lazy." "You have dropped your books and taken to wild ways." "There is one thing, dear master, I haven't done: I haven't written poetry."
"Nothing. She leaned on the women and they took her away." "Tell me all you saw." "When you went in to hold council, I watched, and saw a priest and Bellenger and the boy that God had touched, all go in after you. So I knew the council would be bad for you, Lazarre, and I stood by the door with my knife in my hand.
"I don't march at all. I stay here. I'm going to disobey orders." "If you're going to disobey orders, you have good reason for doing so." "I have. It was too late to retreat. I'm going to fight. I hear, Lazarre, you know how to handle Indians in the French way." "My dear Croghan, you insinuate the American way may be better." "It is, on the western border. It may not be on the northern."
I went to De Chaumont's hotel to bring the money from Doctor Chantry and to take leave without appearing to do so. Mademoiselle de Chaumont seized me as I entered. Her carriage stood in the court. Miss Chantry was waiting in it while Annabel's maid fastened her glove. "O Lazarre!" the poppet cried, her heartiness going through me like wine. "Are you back? And how you are changed!
"But he has regard also for old aristocrats like the Marquis du Plessy." "Yet remember what he did to the Duke d'Enghien. A Bourbon prince is not allowed in France." "How many people consider me a Bourbon prince? I told you why I am here. Fortune has wonderfully helped me since I came to France. Lazarre, the dauphin from the Indian camps, brazenly asks you to marry him, Eagle!"
We were riding to Versailles, and our horses almost touched sides as my friend put his hand on my shoulder. "Don't go, Lazarre. You will not be welcome there." "I must go, whether I am welcome or not." "But I may not last until you come back." "You will last two months. Can't I post to Mittau and back in two months?" "God knows."
To-day he says, "I love you! I need you! I shall go to the devil without you!" To-morrow he turns to his affairs. In six months he says, "I was a fool!" Next year he says, "Who was it that drove me wild for a time last year? What was her name?" Is love a game where men and women try to outwit each other, and man boasts, "She loves me" not "I love her"? You are two persons. Lazarre belongs to me.
