"We must have spotted these deer at exactly the same time." No answer came back to this call, and now Dave looked around with surprise. If Henry and Barringford were near, why did they not show themselves? "It's mighty queer," he muttered to himself. "If they hullo! Hector Bergerac!" Dave was right, and an instant later the French hunter and trapper stepped into the opening.
They were doubly astonished, first upon seeing Bergerac and then upon seeing the game. Their own luck had not been very good, and they only had a few birds and a beaver to their credit.
"O Sinbad was in bad all around," chanted Heineman. "But no one's given me anything to drink," he said suddenly in a petulant voice. "Garcon, une bouteille de Macon, pour un Cadet de Gascogne.... What's the next? It ends with vergogne. You've seen the play, haven't you? Greatest play going.... Seen it twice sober and seven other times." "Cyrano de Bergerac?" "That's it.
The tragedy of this man whose dauntless spirit so far outgrew his physical appearance being compelled to sell cheeses, hams, molasses, etc, in order to live, is far more pitiful to me than the stern virginity of Queen Elizabeth, or even the nose of Cyrano de Bergerac.
If the French an' the English would unite, we'd have nothin' to fear from the redskins." "But they will not unite, it is not in their nature. But if they will only keep the peace, it will help greatly," concluded Bergerac. He was worn out from traveling and glad enough to remain with the others over night.
Overbury was Rochester's tutor in more than appertained to affairs of State. It is more than likely that in Carr's wooing of Lady Essex he had held the role of Cyrano de Bergerac, writing those gracefully turned letters and composing those accomplished verses which did so much to augment and give constancy to her ladyship's love for Rochester.
The result of his endeavor was the character of Cyrano de Bergerac, which is considered by many critics the richest acting part, save Hamlet, in the history of the theatre.
"Rather late in the year to put up a post now," suggested Dave, who could not help saying something. At this speech Jean Bevoir smiled knowingly. "Trust me that I know what I am doing," he said. "Come," he added, to his companions, in French. "We can gain nothing by remaining here longer." He turned his steed around, and rode off, and Valette and Bergerac did the same.
The treaty of Bergerac, signed in the autumn of 1577, again restored a semblance of repose to France, and again afforded an opportunity for Alencon to change his politics, and what he called his religion.
At Bergerac he wrote his Adieu to Perigord, in which he conveyed his thanks to the inhabitants of the department for the kindness with which they had received him and his companion. This, their first journey through Perigord, was brought to a close at the end of February, 1843. The result of this brilliant journey was very successful.
