You are both paupers, for one thing, and for the rest, I assure you, my dear, Maurice is not as infatuated about you as you are about him!" Mrs. Bethune makes a sudden movement; it is slight. Her face darkens. One reading between the lines might at this moment see that she could have killed Lady Rylton with a wondrous joy.
There is nothing you cannot buy there. It is clean and well-ordered, and cheerful in the rain. I pray that Béthune may survive the war that after peace has been declared and Berlin has been entered, I may spend a week there and much money to the profit of the people and the satisfaction of myself. Now I will give some account of our adventures out with the brigades round La Bassée.
"Mamma, I wish we could have gone home to-night," said he, when, in answer to his knock, she had opened the door. "It was late, dear, and Mr Bethune said he would like to see me before we went away." "About the books, mamma? I wish I knew about them." "You will know soon. I have no doubt they will be yours, as Miss Bethia intimated before we left them here. There may be some condition."
"The celebrated Jules Thessaly, I believe," replied Paul; "but I have never met him." "Jules Thessaly! Really? "What was he doing in Bethune?" "What does he do anywhere? He was visiting the French and British fronts, accompanied by an imposing array of 'Staffs. He has tremendous influence of some kind financial probably." "An interesting character. I hope we may meet.
I have never, in spite of many things, been in the least sorry that I gave you a home on the death of your er rather disreputable husband." Mrs. Bethune looks sweetly at her. "And such a home!" says she. "Not a word, not a word," entreats Lady Rylton graciously. "But to return to Maurice. I shall expect you to help me in this matter, Marian." "Naturally."
The haughty, defiant, austere grandee, brave soldier, sagacious statesman, thrifty financier, against whom the poisoned arrows of religious hatred, envious ambition, and petty court intrigue were daily directed, who watched grimly over the exchequer confided to him, which was daily growing fuller in despite of the cormorants who trembled at his frown; hard worker, good hater, conscientious politician, who filled his own coffers without dishonesty, and those of the state without tyranny; unsociable, arrogant; pious, very avaricious, and inordinately vain, Maximilian de Bethune, Duke of Sully, loved and respected Henry as no man or woman loved and respected him.
On December 17th, 1836, Principal Bethune wrote to the Secretary of the Board informing him that "there is a demand on the part of the neighbours for fences, which on a close inspection are found to be unserviceable with the exception of 170 cedar rails or rather logs which will serve by being split into two for rails."
"I should appal my readers," said De Bethune, "if I should show to them that this sum makes but a very small part of the amounts demanded from the royal treasury, either by Frenchmen or by strangers, as pay and pension, and yet the total was thirty-two millions's."
Bethune, personally she might have conquered that Minnie is clever there is always the fact that Mrs. Bethune is poor, and poor people, as Minnie has learned through a hard philosophy, are never of any use at all. Mrs. Bethune, therefore, could never advance her one inch on the road to social success; whereas Tita, though she is a mere nobody in herself, and not of half as good birth as Mrs.
Major Griffiths took temporary command until, on the 23rd, Major Trimble, M.C., of the E. Yorks. Regt. arrived from the 6th Division and took over from him. 16th April, 1917. 10th June, 1917. On the 16th of April we learnt that we were once more to go to trenches, and the same day we moved to Annezin, just outside Béthune.
