Hastily descending the stairs from the Emperor's apartments, and finding a horse ready saddled and bridled in one of the courts of the palace, he threw himself upon it, and hastily took the road to Paris. This was the morning of the same day that Roustan left Fontainebleau. On the 12th of April, the Emperor also received the last adieux of Marshal Macdonald.
The former at once made his adieux and took a short cut to the stables. Wingrave, who leaned heavily upon his stick, clutched Morrison by the arm. "Who is it, Morrison?" he demanded. "It is Lady Ruth Barrington, sir," the man answered. "Alone?" "Quite alone, sir." The library at Tredowen was a room of irregular shape, full of angles and recesses lined with bookcases.
Bowen sat a long time at the piano, striking this air and that of the songs which she used to sing when she was a girl: Colville was trying to recall them. When he and Imogene were left alone for their adieux, they approached each other in an estrangement through which each tried to break. "Why don't you scold me?" she asked. "I have neglected you the whole evening." "How have you neglected me?"
"Ask Laura; she has witnessed how he can be shattered," Vittoria replied bitterly. Merthyr pressed her fingers. He was met by Carlo on the stairs. "Quick!" Carlo said; "I have scarce a minute to spare. I have my adieux to make, and the tears have set in already. First, a request: you will promise to remain beside my wife; she will want more than her own strength."
Then I stood with Louis and Clara in the centre of the parlors and received the adieux of their friends. Louis carried his mother in his arms up stairs and soon dreams carried me home to green fields and butter-making. Gloriously beautiful was the morning of August twenty-first. We were up early, for the old stage would not wait for us, and we had much to do just at the last moment.
Chump understood that this was merely his excuse to get away, that he might see her safe to Brookfield. Adela only required a look and a gesture. Merthyr and Georgiana likewise spoke expected adieux, as did Sir Twickenham, who parted company in his own little yawl. Lady Charlotte, with her head over a map, and one hand arranging an eye-glass, hastily nodded them off, scarcely looking at them.
In the evening some neighbors came in; so that dangerous time was safely passed, and Christie escaped to her own room with her usual quiet good-night all round. "We won't have any sentimental demonstrations; no wailing, or tender adieux.
"Oh, it's nothing! No doubt, it is only the night air." "And who doesn't want for women, either," softly added the sailor, thinking he was paying the stranger a compliment. Then, spitting on his hands, he took the oars again. Yet they had to part. The adieux were sad.
"J'ai fait mes adieux
I think that is a proof that we did not care a straw for each other." "You and I will have plenty of quarrels," said Vixen. "It will be so nice to make friends again." Now came the hurried breakfast a cup of tea drunk, standing, not a crumb eaten; agitated adieux to Miss Skipwith, who wept very womanly tears over her departing charge, and uttered good wishes in a choking voice.
