I can't work out our present position at all, except that we're somewhere around South 30 Latitude. The locator signal is almost exactly north-by-northeast of us. If we keep it dead astern, we'll come out in Sancerre Bay, on Hermann Reuch's Land. If we make that, we're all right.
In 1800, tired of hoping, and perhaps tired of lending, he returned to Sancerre, bought back La Baudraye out of a feeling of vanity and imaginary pride, quite intelligible in a sheriff's grandson, though under the consulate his prospects were but slender; all the more so, indeed, because the ex-farmer-general had small hopes of his heir's perpetuating the new race of La Baudraye.
From the road between Anzy to Sancerre, a glorious landscape frequently comes into view, of the noble stretches of the Loire, looking like a lake, and it was got over very pleasantly, for Dinah was happy in finding herself well understood. Love was discussed in theory, a subject allowing lovers in petto to take the measure, as it were, of each other's heart.
The Countess, the children, and her mother, in short, the whole household, including a tutor, had gone away to Sancerre, where Dinah intended to spend the summer. She was everything that was nice to the Count, people said.
Louis allied himself with the three brothers of the House of Blois the Counts of Champagne, of Sancerre, and of Blois by a marriage with their sister only a month after the death of his own queen in September; and a joint attack was planned upon Henry. His answer was rapid and decisive.
A week later, Lousteau, who hardly remembered Dinah, was startled by another budget from Sancerre eight leaves, sixteen pages! He heard a woman's step; he thought it announced a search from the Marquise, and tossed these rapturous and entrancing proofs of affections into the fire unread! "A woman's letter!" exclaimed Madame Schontz, as she came in. "The paper, the wax, are scented "
The reader will, of course, have guessed that the journalist had stored these lines in his memory for ten years at least, for he had written them at the time of the Restoration in disgust at being unable to get on. He sat down to backgammon with the cure of Sancerre.
The newly made Count pointed out to his wife that while the interests of their property forbade his leaving Sancerre, the education of their boys required her presence in Paris.
"The mother and child are doing well." Lousteau had already sent out sixty of these announcements when Monsieur de Clagny, on coming to make inquiries, happened to see the list of persons at Sancerre to whom Lousteau proposed to send this amazing notice, written below the names of the persons in Paris to whom it was already gone.
"Why, it is charming!" said Dinah to her mother. All the good folks of Sancerre sat with eyes as large as five-franc pieces. "Go on, I beg," said the hostess. Lousteau went on: "Your key " "Have you lost it?" "It is in the arbor." "Let us hasten." "Can the Cardinal have taken it?" "No, here it is." "What danger we have escaped!" Olympia looked at the key, and fancied she recognized it as her own.
