Here is a memorandum and a plan describing how they are to be applied. I have taken them from the Count's escritoire. And now, once more I must leave to your ingenuity how to mystify the people at the Dragon Volant. Be sure you try the keys first, to see that the locks turn freely. I will have my jewels ready.
"Or, shall I say, rather, that the child remains a child fresh, and pure, and innocent, and candid, as in the days when we played our jeu de volant in your grandmother's garden fit emblem of the light love of our future years. You remained a child, Hyacinth, and asked childish love-making from a man.
The effect of the ornate overskirt falling on the plain underskirt with its small double volant was, she thought, and Gerald too, adorable. The waist was higher than any she had had before, and the crinoline expansive.
Among the important families of Three Rivers were those of Godefroy, Hertel, Le Neuf, Crevier, Boucher, Poulin, Volant, Lemaitre, Rivard, and Ameau. Michel Le Neuf du Herisson was juge royal, and Severin Ameau was notary and registrar of the court. Montreal or Ville-Marie was scarcely more important than Three Rivers. The population of the whole district numbered only 625.
The ET's tone of voice was nurturing in spite of her words. "I don't feel well." "You've been overtaken by the mundane. Look out of the window at the volant clouds. Any frothy and floating substance natural or artificial will do: an ocean, trees waving in the winds, passing clouds, soap spinning around in a washer.
I am lodged in the Dragon Volant, which stands at the verge of the grounds of the Chateau de la Carque." "That is better still. I need not ask if you have courage for an adventure. I need not ask if you are a man of honor. A lady may trust herself to you, and fear nothing. There are few men to whom the interview, such as I shall arrange, could be granted with safety.
I will tell you why there is a story of a man who, having shut himself up in that room one night, disappeared before morning. The truth is, he wanted, I believe, to escape from creditors; and the host of the Dragon Volant at that time, being a rogue, aided him in absconding. My husband investigated the matter, and discovered how his escape was made. It was by means of this key.
"But in case you should have some doubt." "Well!" "I can only say that I do not positively assure you that he will come." "Yet he told you " "He certainly did tell me; but you know that man proposes and God disposes, verba volant, scripta manent." "Which is as much to say "
This is the province of the intermediate gods, who dwell in the regions of the air, which border on the earth, and yet are no less conversant with the confines of the heavens; just as in every part of the world there are animals adapted to the several parts, the volant being in the air and the gradient on the earth."
The City of Paris is seen in the distance. The fine aqueduct of Marly, the mountain de Coeur volant, Mount Calvary, and Malmaison to the right; in front the forest of Vésinet, and beyond it the vale of Saint Denis; on the left the hills which encompass the beautiful vale of Montmorency; the Seine winding at the foot, and extending its course until it loses itself in the distance all within one sweep of the eye!
