The Barclays' meals, therefore, differed more in name than in reality from those of their neighbors. Louis and Philippe Duburg came in at five o'clock, but brought a message that their sisters would come in with their father and mother, later. Melanie was neither surprised nor disappointed at the non-arrival of her cousins.
The Barclays did not stay late at the Culpeppers' that night, but took the proofs at early bedtime and went down the hill. An hour later they heard Molly Culpepper and Brownwell loitering along the sidewalk. Brownwell was saying: "Ah, but you, Miss Molly, you are like the moon, for "'The moon looks on many brooks, The brook can see no moon but this. "And I I am "
The Barclays had little to do during the affair as, after the orders had once been given, the spirit of the troops carried them on over everything. The loss upon both sides was considerable, and one of General Werder's sons was among the prisoners taken by the French. The fight over, the boys returned home for a few hours. Their father had come in half an hour before them.
The band of the national guard headed them, as they marched down the high street of Dijon to the parade ground; and as the spectators cheered, the ladies waved their handkerchiefs, and the whole corps joined in cheers, to the stirring notes of the Marseillaise the young Barclays felt their cheeks flush, their hands tighten upon their rifles, and their hearts beat with a fierce longing to be face to face with the hated Prussians.
Their host had read the account in the papers of the doings of the franc tireurs; and his wife laughingly made a further apology to the Barclays, and their cousin, for her remark at their first visit about boys. "My girls have talked about nothing else but your doings, ever since we had the news of your attack upon the Uhlans, near Blamont," she said.
A man has offered to supply them, at contract prices; but any who prefer it can have it made by their own tailor. "Now, good night, boys." "Vive les franc tireurs du Dijon!" "Vive la France!" and, with a cheer, the men separated. The next morning the corps met, and were divided into companies. The division was alphabetical, and the young Barclays and Duburgs were all in the first company.
On the whole, it was probably some creature of the weasel and stoat tribe and yet it is larger than any of these that I have seen." "But what had it to do with the crime?" "That, also, is still obscure. But we have learned a good deal, you perceive. We know that a man stood in the road looking at the quarrel between the Barclays the blinds were up and the room lighted.
McHurdie beamed and bowed and smiled. And then they took their partners to step off the quadrille when behold, it transpired that in all the city orchestra, that had cost the Barclays a thousand dollars according to town tradition, not one man could be found who could call off a quadrille.
The Barclays, with their cousins, started for a ramble in the wood; taking with them the Irishman, whose good humor and unflagging spirits, during the last three days, had made him a general favorite. "Sure, and are there any wild bastes in the wood, your honor Because, if there be, it would be well to take our rifles with us.
Ralph therefore at once offered to take him out, and to give him a night's shelter; an offer which the Irishman accepted, with many thanks. It was now getting dark and, accompanied by their cousins, the Barclays were let out with Tim Doyle from a back entrance to the Maine; and made their way unnoticed through the town; and arrived, half an hour later, at home.
