And thus it was in this crisis of her fate the love of Le Gardeur was blown like a feather before the breath of her passionate selfishness. The weights of gold pulled her down to the nadir. Angelique's final resolution was irrevocably taken before her eager, hopeful lover appeared in answer to her summons recalling him from the festival of Belmont.
In the morning Angelique's countenance was brightened, and I found she had slept in the same room with Madame's femme de chambre, when an explanation of their political creeds had taken place, so that she now assured me Mad. "All the world's a stage," says our great dramatic moralist.
"I will make myself as light a trial as possible," suggested Colonel Menard. "You have had one wife." "Yes, madame." "But she died." The tiny high voice had the thrust of an insect's stinger. "If she were alive, madame, I could not now have the honor of asking for Mademoiselle Angélique's hand." The dimpling grooves in his cheeks did not escape tante-gra'mère's black eyes.
Well, if it's milk you will, milk you shall!" and, turning angrily about, Snowfoot's mistress dashed the entire contents of her pail over the annoying cat. Margot laughed till the tears came. Angelique's countenance took on a grim expression. "Mistress Meroude's got a day's job to clean herself, the greedy. It's not her nose'll go in the pail another mornin'. No. No, indeed." "And it was so full.
If I was the pearl of price, you have adorned her with it my abasement is her glory!" Angelique's tall, straight figure stood up, magnified with fury as she uttered this. The Intendant stepped back in surprise at the sudden attack.
Angelique's eyes flashed out fire, but she little knew how true a word Bigot had spoken in jest. She could have choked him for mentioning her in connection with De Pean, but remembering she was now at his mercy, it was necessary to cheat and cozen this man by trying to please him. "Well, if you must go, you must, Chevalier!
If these Academicians had been moved by a simple love of truth, not urged by a self-complacent eagerness to display their own sagacity, they might have found a more probable explanation of the cessation, after their first session, of some of Angelique's chief powers. Such an explanation is furnished to us by Dr. Tanchon, who was present, by invitation, at the sittings of the committee.
At the first rumor of high water I had the skins carried to the strong-house on the hill." Angélique's wet hair still clung to her forehead, but her warmth had returned with a glow. The colonel was a compact man, who had passed through water as his own element. To be dripping was no hindrance to his courtship. "When may we celebrate the marriage?"
He knew Angelique's passionate impulses, and he thought that no woman could resist such devotion as that of Le Gardeur. He kept down his feelings, however. He saw that Le Gardeur was ripe for ruin. They returned to the table and drank still more freely. Dice and cards were resumed; fresh challenges were thrown out; Emeric and Le Mercier were already deep in a game; money was pushed to and fro.
La Force, to Angelique's chagrin, understanding that Amelie desired him to wait for Angelique outside, at once offered to do so. "Or perhaps," continued Amelie, offering her hand, "the Sieur La Force, whom I am glad to see, will have the politeness to accompany the Lady de Tilly, while I speak to Mademoiselle des Meloises?" La Force was all compliance.
