"We'll teach you," said the biggest of them "we'll teach you to lock up ladies, for the indulgence of your vulgar amusement;" and, without one other word, they fell upon Bedos, with incredible zeal and vigour. The valiant valet defended himself, tooth and nail, for some time, for which he only got the more soundly belaboured.
"Oh," I replied, "put him out in that back passage; the outer door is shut; he'll be quite safe;" and to the passage he was therefore immediately consigned. It was in this place, the reader will remember, that the hapless Dame du Chateau was at that very instant in "durance vile." Bedos, who took the condemned monkey, opened the door, thrust Jocko in, and closed it again.
I was standing wistfully by my fireplace, listening to a broken-winded hurdy-gurdy, with the most mournful attention, stationed opposite to my window, when Bedos announced Sir Reginald Glanville.
We reached Calais in safety, and in good time, the next day. "Will Monsieur dine in his rooms, or at the table d'hote?" "In his rooms, of course," said Bedos, indignantly deciding the question. A French valet's dignity is always involved in his master's. "You are too good, Bedos," said I, "I shall dine at the table d'hote who have you there in general?"

Of a surety, Henry Pelham, I could not have supposed you were such an adept in the art of panegyric." "The horses, Sir!" said Bedos; and "the bill, Sir?" said the garcon. Alas! that those and that should be so coupled together; and that we can never take our departure without such awful witnesses of our sojourn.

Don't put out that chain, Bedos I wear the black coat, waistcoat, and trowsers. Brush my hair as much out of curl as you can, and give an air of graceful negligence to my tout ensemble." "Oui, Monsieur, je comprends," answered Bedos. I was soon dressed, for it is the design, not the execution, of all great undertakings which requires deliberation and delay. Action cannot be too prompt.
How envied was his doom, Made captive in a lady's room! Gay's Fables. I was sitting alone a morning or two after this adventure, when Bedos entering, announced une dame. This dame was a fine tall thing, dressed out like a print in the Magasin des Modes. She sate herself down, threw up her veil, and, after a momentary pause, asked me if I liked my apartment?
