But this was the afterthought of 1826.
The latter went immediately to the ranchhouse, but Dade lingered until Calumet stepped down from the door of the bunkhouse. "Bed suits me," suggested Dade. "Comin'?" "I'm smokin' a cigarette first," said Calumet. "Mebbe two," he added as an afterthought.
M. de Puymandour paid no attention to her entreaty, but added, as an afterthought: "Perhaps you would wish to know the name of the gentleman I have selected as a husband for you. He is the Marquis Norbert, the son and heir of the Duke de Champdoce." Marie turned deadly pale. "But I do not know him; I have never seen him," faltered she. "I know him, and that is quite sufficient.
But the reading of a few pages sufficiently intimates that these "Letters" never can have gone through a terrestrial Post-office; that they are an afterthought, composed from vague memory and imagination, in that fine Saxon retreat; a sorrowful ghost-like "TRAVELS OF ANACHARSIS," instead of living words by an eye-witness! Not to be cited "freely" at all, but sparingly and under conditions.
