Her appearance satisfactory she was able to see him at once. To her great pleasure neither Pleydon nor his clothes had changed.
Christophe was much surprised one evening to see Madame Arnaud come into his room. Till then she had never ventured to call on him. She seemed to be somewhat agitated. Christophe paid no heed to it, and set her uneasiness down to her shyness. She sat down, and for some time said nothing. To put her at her ease, Christophe did the honors of his room.

For we have been bedevilled hither and thither with false marches and with false rumours of sailing and lines of route.

"The sooner the better," said Lord Raglan, simply; "I must wait till their attack is developed before I can move." "You shall not wait long, my friend." The next instant the French mounted messengers were scouring the plain.
