"Do you know where he is hiding?" "Yes." "And you are sure that you are not mistaken?" "I am most assuredly not mistaken," she replied with a frivolous laugh; "Count T , who was my admirer in London and Turin, is here in my house, as my footman." An hour later, the Count was arrested. But Wanda only wished to get rid of her tiresome adorer, and not to destroy him.
He wanted to have that frank, confidential talk with her about the general imbecility of her adorer, Emanuel Prockter that talk which he had failed to begin on the morning when she had been so sympathetic concerning his difficulties in collecting a large income. Her movements from day to day were mysterious.
From his goose of an adorer, La Beaumelle, I have riddled out the following particulars, chiefly chronological, and offer them to susceptible readers. That threat of visiting Voltaire with pistols, to be met by 'my syringe and vessel of dishonor' on Voltaire's part, was his last memorability in Berlin. His last at that time; or indeed altogether, for he saw little of Berlin farther.
But she said she did not care to go now. The fact was she preferred to play with her lion, though she did not mention that reason to her mother. When from time to time she heard of the fear and apprehension with which the gentlemen's families in town regarded Perez, she even owned to being a little complacent over the fact that this lawless dictator was her humble adorer.
It was chiefly caused, if the old Chancellor's statements to his sycophantic adorer, Busch, are to be credited, by the interference of the Empress Augusta and her daughter-in-law, the Crown Princess, in the sphere of politics, the Empress seeking to influence her husband in favour of the Catholics, whom she had taken under her protection, and the Crown Princess trying, as we have seen, to influence German policy in favour of England.
It was the strength of thy mind as much as the simplicity of thy heart that rendered thee so faithful and so firm! Who would not envy thy unknown adorer? Can he be false? Suspicion is for weak minds and cold-blooded spirits. Thou never didst doubt; and thou wast just, for, behold, he is true!
"So, monsieur," continued Oscar, "if you want the count's influence, I advise you to apply to the Marquis d'Aiglemont. If you get that former adorer of Madame de Serizy on your side, you will win husband and wife at one stroke." "Look here!" said the painter, "you seem to have seen the count without his clothes; are you his valet?" "His valet!" cried Oscar.
On account of some pieces which they are adding to the set, you will have to wait a few days; but I flatter myself this delay will contribute to your satisfaction, and produce for you a toy that will give you pleasure, and make you remember your old adorer. It is curious how old people's habits agree.
"Coralie had an elderly adorer, a merchant, and she showed him the door, poor fellow. I am better off than your brother Philippe," he added, addressing Joseph Bridau; "he does not know how to manage Mariette." "You are a man like another now; in short, you will make your way," said Fulgence. "A man that will always be the same for you, under all circumstances," returned Lucien.
Evening after evening Massimilla's box was the first object of every opera-glass, and each woman would say to her lover, as she studied the Duchess and her adorer: "How far have they got?" The lover would examine Emilio, seeking some evidence of success; would find no expression but that of a pure and dejected passion.
