A moment of doubt, of impossible speculation, of delicious suspense, and then the coat of Voban the barber opened, dropped away from the lithe, graceful figure of a young officer of marines, the cap flew off, and in an instant the dear head, the blushing, shining face of Alixe was on my breast.
Alixe caught his arm, her head turned towards the road where the infantry were crowding past at double-quick, enveloped in a whirling torrent of red dust. "There is a cart there," she said. "Oh, Jack, find it quickly! The driver is on the seat and I can't leave Sir Thorald."

"Uncle Philip, mother has forbidden me and I'll tell her and take my punishment but would you mind telling me how you first met my Aunt Alixe?"
The latter, already gloved, had risen and was coolly surveying the room. "Tiens!" she said, "there is the youthful brother of our red-haired novice, now. He sees us and he's coming to inflict himself with another moon-faced creature. Shall we bolt?"
