They had flown but whither, nobody knew, and nobody, save Antoine, cared. It was a heavy blow to Antoine for he had himself half resolved to confess his love to Anglice and urge her to fly with him. A strip of paper slipped from a volume on Antoine's prie-dieu, and fluttered to his feet. "Do not be angry," said the bit of paper, piteously; "forgive us, for we love."
Sapphira was wife to a man of fashion and gallantry, and one who seemed, I own, every way worthy of her affections; which, however, he had not the reputation of having. She was indeed a coquette achevee. "Pray, sir," says Adams, "what is a coquette? I have met with the word in French authors, but never could assign any idea to it. I believe it is the same with une sotte, Anglice, a fool."
The name for the island since called New Amsterdam and York was Mon-ah-tan-uk, a phrase descriptive of the rushing waters of Hell Gate that separated them from their Long Island neighbours, the inhabitants themselves being called by these neighbours Mon-ah-tans, anglice Manhattans, literally, People of the Whirlpool, a title which, even though the termagant humour of the waters be abated, it beseems me as aptly fits them at this day."
It was like the face of a saint on a cathedral window. Once, however, as she came suddenly upon the two men and overheard words that seemed to burn like fire on the lip of the speaker, her eyes grew luminous for an instant. Then she passed on, her face as immobile as before in its setting of wavy gold hair. "Entre or et roux Dieu fit ses longs cheveux." One night Emile and Anglice were missing.
I trust the house wunna coup the crane for a' that's come and gane yet; and if it does, I'll never bear sae base a mind as thae corbies in the Gallowgate an I am to lose by ye, I'se ne'er deny I hae won by ye mony a fair pund sterling Sae, an it come to the warst, I'se een lay the head o' the sow to the tail o' the grice."* * Anglice, the head of the sow to the tail of the pig.
Piloted by our dusky guide, not exactly, though, like Campbell's "Morning brought by Night," we soon reached the town, which is named after a young lady of legendary times named Tydfil, a Christian martyr, of which Merthyr-Tydvil is a corruption, and made the best of our way to the Bush Inn, where we treated our sable friend to some cwrw dach, Anglicé, strong ale; and after a hearty supper of Welsh rabbit, which Tom Ingoldsby calls a "bunny without any bones," and "custard with mustard," which, as made in the Principality, it much resembles, I took a stroll through the town.
"Quelquechoses, anglice, kickshaws, alias, sweet trifles denominated merrings." "Pshaw, Fleda!" "Miss Fleda is more likely to get her living by eating them, Mr. Hugh, isn't she?" said the housekeeper. "I hope to decline both lines of life," said Fleda laughingly as she followed Hugh out of the room. But her chance remark had grazed the truth sufficiently near.
Burnet, speaking of the execution of the above Mitchell for the attempt against Sharp, says: Yet Duke Lauderdale had a chaplain, Hickes, afterwards Dean of Worcester, who published a false and partial relation of this matter, in order to the justifying of it Swift. A learned, pious man. Swift. Only sodomy. Burnet. Swift. Anglicê, found guilty.
On beholding her, Antoine uttered a cry of joy and surprise she was so like the woman he had worshipped. The passion that had been crowded down in his heart broke out and lavished its rich-ness on this child, who was to him not only the Anglice of years ago, but his friend Emile Jardin also.
Emile, the year previous, had fallen a victim to the fever that raged on the island; and their child, Anglice, was likely to follow him. In pitiful terms she begged Antoine to take charge of the child until she was old enough to enter the convent of the Sacré-Cour.
