Auban looked over the journals of the day. There were many columns of description of the only social event of the previous day thought worth extended mention. The visitors from Hungary were lauded to the skies. There did not lack many references to the similarity between the present struggles of the Hungarian people and those of our own earlier days.
That satisfaction, however, endured not long; for presently I bethought me of how heavily the punishment would fall upon Yvonne and yet, of how she would be left to the mercy of St. Auban, whose warrant from Mazarin would invest with almost any and every power at Canaples.
Now the families that is to say, the heads of the families being agreed and even anxious to bring about the union of Yvonne de Canaples and Andrea de Mancini, it was something new to have a cabal of persons who, from motives of principle as St. Auban had it should oppose the alliance so relentlessly as to even resort to violence if no other means occurred to them.
Was this, then, another suitor of Yvonne de Canaples, and were all men mad with love of her? Presently he continued: "When I heard that St. Auban was in Paris, having apparently abandoned all hope in connection with Mademoiselle, I obtained a letter from M. de la Rochefoucauld who is an intimate friend of mine and armed with this I set out.
Naturally, had Eugene de Canaples and I crossed swords, matters would have been rendered difficult." "When did you learn all this?" I inquired. "To-day, after the duel, and when it was known what St. Auban and Montmedy had threatened me with. My uncle thought it well that I should withdraw from Paris.
Political, social and journalistic Washington then and there begged a sudden though silent pardon of the Countess St. Auban. A few journalists left the room quickly. An attache of the Austrian legation also hurriedly took his leave. "But where have you been, my dear?" again demanded General Zewlinski, his hand again affectionately grasping that of Josephine St. Auban. "We have so missed you."
"So much for attempting to sacrifice principle for expecting to mix Free Soil and Whig! Damn that Kentuckian!" Auban after this remained unmolested.
"Since you would not assist me, Montresor, you see I was forced to do without you." "But St. Auban?" he gasped. "Where is he?" "In heaven, I hope but I doubt it sadly." "You have killed him?" There and then, as briefly as I might, I told him, whilst the others stood by to listen, how I had come upon the Marquis in the chateau the night before and what had passed thereafter.
Auban and I were of much the same build and stature, and so methought with confidence that he would have shrewd eyes, indeed, who could infer from my appearance that I was other than the same masked gentleman who had that very day ridden into Canaples at the head of a troop of his Eminence's guards. I made my way swiftly back along the path that St.
He was rich, owned his own vessel, his nets and a little house at the foot of the hill on the Retenue, whereas Father Auban had nothing. The marriage was therefore eagerly agreed upon and the wedding took place as soon as possible, as both parties were desirous for the affair to be concluded as early as convenient.
