"I have never seen you drink hearty yet, and now I purpose to," said John. As the packing was finishing Miss Josephine St. Michael came by; and the sight of the erect old lady reminded me that of all Kings Port figures known to me and seen in the garden paying their visit of ceremony to Hortense, she alone she and Eliza La Heu had been absent.
Eliza La Heu had now got herself altogether in hand, and, saving her pale cheeks, no sign betrayed that the young girl's feelings had been so recently too strong for her. To these strangers, ignorant of her usual manner, her present strange quietness may very well have been accepted as her habit. "Thank you," she replied to munificent Charley's offer that she would use his second automobile.
A small stream diverted from the river, turned the wheel of a moss-grown grist-mill, which was nestled under large willows at the foot of the rocks, and conveyed the idea of the presence of man, without detracting from the wild beauty of the scenery. Now, alas, how is all changed! Heu! quantum mutatus ab illo Hectore! The grist-mill has disappeared!
That incident had damaged two people at least, the unknown vanquished combatant in his bodily welfare, and me in my character as an upstanding man in the fierce feminine estimation of Miss La Heu; but this injury it was my intention to set right; my confession to the girl behind the counter was merely delayed.
Eliza La Heu summoned one of the onlookers, an old negro; at some word she said to him he hurried back and returned, leading his horse and empty cart, and General was lifted into this. The girl took her seat beside the old driver. "No," she said to John Mayrant, "certainly not." I wondered at the needless severity with which she declined his offer to accompany her and help her.
Heu, quanto minus! How much more was that lost image to him than all it left on earth! The study of love is very much like that of meteorology. We know that just about so much rain will fall in a season; but on what particular day it will shower is more than we can tell.
Bar bummers like those! Heu!" He ordered the ink to be cleared up, and then he sent for Mr. Church. He was excited. "Church," said he. "I've shot out two more of that carrion. You know all the men I have been fool enough to know. If they come here again tell the servants not to let them in." But he had another object in sending for Church. "Where's my cheque book?" he asked.
"Are you going to inform the mayor of Saint-Lys?" asked Jack. "Of course," muttered Passerat, gathering up his reins; "heu! da-da! heu! cocotte! en route!" and he rattled sulkily away, perhaps a little uncertain himself as to the concreteness of his recent vision. Jack looked after him. "There might be something in it," he mused, "but, dear me! his nose is unpleasantly sunburned."
"Hullo!" said McTurk, over another forme. "What price a giddy ode? Qui quis oh, it's Quis multa gracilis, o' course." "Bring it along. We've sugared the milk here," said Stalky, after a few minutes' zealous toil. "Never thrash your hounds unnecessarily." "Quis munditiis? I swear that's not bad," began Beetle, plying the tweezers. "Don't that interrogation look pretty? Heu quoties fidem!
The fault is in the people themselves, and in their pastors and masters. The convergence of Ulster opinion reminds me of an old line, which fitly illustrates the position of the Irish malcontent party Heu mihi! quam pingui macer est mihi taurus in arvo. My starveling bull, Ah, woe is me, In pasture full How lean is he!
