He was owl enough to like ruins and old chambers, where nuns or friars had slept. And he said to Berkley; "So, you perceive, my nest is to be in a cloister. It already makes me think of a bird's-nest I once saw on an old tower of Heidelberg castle, built in the jaws of a lion, which formerly served as a spout. But pray tell me, who was that young lady, with the soft voice?"
"Certainly," said Berkley, buying a badge and pinning it in his button-hole. "Being a hero, I require the trade-mark. Kindly permit that I offer a suggestion " a number of people waiting to buy badges; were now listening to him "those gentlemen gathered there in front of the New York Hotel seem to be without these marks which distinguish heroes from citizens.
Naturally ambitious and intriguing, the perilous tendencies of such a spirit in Mademoiselle de Barras had never been schooled by the mighty and benignant principles of religion; of her accidental acquaintance at Rouen with Sir Wynston Berkley, and her subsequent introduction, in an evil hour, into the family at Gray Forest, it is unnecessary to speak.
She broke off short, swung on the revolving chair, and called: "Mr. Berkley, are you going to see me home?" "Last jack, Miss Carew," said Berkley, "I'm opening it for the limit. Give me one round of fixed ammunition, Arthur." "There's no use drawing," observed another man, laying down his hand, "Berkley cleans us up as usual."
Berkley smiled; but Flemming continued without noticing the smile, though he knew what was passing in the mind of his friend; "The life and writings of this singular being interest me in a high degree. Oftentimes one may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues. Moreover, from the common sympathies of our nature, souls that have struggled and suffered are dear to me.
What, then, was his horror when, on the morning of Saturday, Nov. 13, as he was riding along the road near his residence of Carisbrooke Castle, in the centre of the island, Sir John Berkley and Mr. Ashburnham presented themselves, and told him that the King had fled in their company from Hampton Court and desired to be his guest!
Berkley, standing to horse, saw the Zouaves leaving the hill at a jog-trot, their red legs twinkling; but half way down the slope they were halted to dress ranks; and the Lancers, cantering ahead, turned westward and moved off along the edge of the river swamp toward the piled-up cloud of smoke down stream.
"Now this is nearly as pathetic as our best fiction," said Berkley; "ruined master, faithful man won't leave starves slowly at his master's feet tootle music very sneaky 'transformation! Burgess in heaven, blinking, puzzled, stretching one wing, reflectively scratching his halo with right hind foot. Angel chorus. Burgess appears to enjoy it and lights one of my best cigars "
Officers walked their lean horses beside the column. One among them drew bridle near him, calling out: "Have you the right time?" Berkley looked at his watch. "Midnight." "Thank you, friend." Berkley stepped to the curb-stone: "What regiment is that?" "Eighth New York." "Leaving?" "Going into camp. Yorkville." Berkley said: "Do you want a damned fool?"
I fear she has had but a dull time of it lately. "'Oh, please don't say that, uncle! I exclaimed. 'I would rather stay at home with Dolly; for the thought of the grand Mrs. Berkley, who came into church with her powdered footman carrying her Bible behind her, frightened me. "'No, no, my child; you must go with me, said Uncle John quietly. 'It isn't good for you to be so much alone.
