"Monsieur Sandwith?" he said interrogatively. "I am glad to see you." Harry did not understand the latter portion of the remark, but he caught the sound of his name. "That's all right," he said nodding. "How do you do, M. du Tillet?" The French gentleman bowed; Harry bowed; and then they looked at each other. There was nothing more to say.
This speech, ringing with integrity, sent a sharp pang through du Tillet. In spite of the esteem he publicly enjoyed, he did not esteem himself; an inextinguishable voice cried aloud within his soul, "The man is sublime!" "Pay me?" he said; "why, what business are you doing?"
You have been doubtless told that you had a delicious ear And du Tillet was right, for judgment had already been given I love small ears, but let me have a model of yours, and I will do anything you like du Tillet profited by this to throw the whole loss on your idiotic husband: oh, what a charming silk, you are divinely dressed!" "Where were we, sir?"
This long journey with this English bear must have been very tedious for you." "Indeed, Madame la Marquise," M. du Tillet replied, "it has been no hardship, the boy has amused me greatly; nay, more, he has pleased me. We have been able to say little to each other, though, indeed, he is quick and eager to learn, and will soon speak our language; but his face has been a study.
"Monsieur le Marquis," M. du Tillet exclaimed, hurrying into the salon, in which the marquis with his family were sitting, on the evening of the 21st of August, "I hear that it is rumoured in the street that all the members of noble families are to be arrested." The room was lit up as if to receive company, but the crowd which had thronged it a fortnight before were gone.
I should very much like to know whether I am a second shift, and whether marriage is a matter of money with him. The fact was that Desroches, deep as he was, could not make out du Tillet, and was afraid that he might marry Malvina. So the fellow had secured his retreat. His position was intolerable, he was scarcely paying his expenses and interest on the debt.
Du Tillet flung the noble commercial carcass to the little jackal, that he might torment it as he devoured it. After the meeting at which the creditors appointed the assignees, little Molineux returned home "honored," so he said, "by the suffrages of his fellow-citizens"; happy in the prospect of hectoring Birotteau, just as a child delights in having an insect to maltreat.
Arrived in Geneva, in the autumn of 1536, he met there his friend, Louis du Tillet, who communicated the fact of his arrival to Farel, then in the very midst of his struggle to promote the Reformation. Farel hastened to see him, and urge upon him the duty of remaining where he was, and undertaking his share of the work of God. Calvin did not at first respond to the call.
M. du Tillet put his hand encouragingly on Harry's shoulder and led him up the steps. A servant preceded them across a great hall, when a door opened and a gentleman came forward. "Monsieur le Marquis," M. du Tillet said, bowing, "this is the young gentleman you charged me to bring to you. "I am glad to see you," the marquis said; "and I hope you will make yourself happy and comfortable here."
In the morning the two boys and himself worked with the abbe, a quiet and gentle old man; in the afternoon they rode and fenced, under the instructions of M. du Tillet or one or other of the gentlemen of the marquis establishment; and on holidays shot or fished as they chose on the preserves or streams of the estate.
