"If you want any help of his toward a position.... Time's passing. And a man can't be expected to bestir himself much for another man he's never even seen." "All right. I'll go with you." Randolph was glad to see Cope again, whom he had not met since the half hour in Hortense Dunton's studio. He was also glad to secure, finally, a close and leisurely look at Lemoyne.

Yet he had all too facile a vision of beatific meditations that were like enough to give the situation away to all the household; and he was nervously aware of Amy Leffingwell as continually on the verge of bubbling confidences. He also wrote to Lemoyne. His letter was less an announcement than a confession. "I like this!" began Lemoyne's reply, with abrupt, impetuous sarcasm.

If there are to be higher lights on my cheekbones and lower lights for my eyes, an hour or so should serve to settle it." "I wouldn't introduce many changes into my eyes and cheekbones, if I were you," said Randolph. Lemoyne was displeased; he thought that Randolph was taking advantage of his position as host to make an observation of unwarranted saliency, and he frowned at his plate.

Lawrence, but a considerable distance inland, is the pretty town of Iberville. It is named after LeMoyne d'Iberville, a member of this family, who, with his seven brothers, took their several names from their seigniories, and were all distinguished for daring and ambition in all the perilous adventures of New France in their day.

"Yes," sez she, with a sigh. "It don't seem to be a popular name," sez I. "I've met lots o' women who wasn't called Alice LeMoyne." "It is probably French," sez she.

Fort Senneville, an interesting ruin, at the western end of Montreal Island, and which was destroyed by Benedict Arnold at the invasion of Canada, during the American Revolution, was erected by the Le Ber family, which was closely allied to that of LeMoyne, and was enobled at the same time as the latter. The fort was intended for a fortified fur-trading post.
