The Holy Father was received by M. Poitevin-Maissemy, prefect of Mont Blanc, and after a short visit to the hospice, crossed the mountain in a sedan chair, escorted by an immense crowd, who knelt to receive his blessing as he passed. Nov. 17 his Holiness resumed his carriage, in which he made the remainder of the journey, accompanied in the same manner.
But the woman contemplates the show with serenity imperturbable: the hat she wants is here somewhere, and it is only a matter of time and patience to find it. There is always a Mont Blanc to overtop the lesser Alpine summits a Koh-i-noor in whose splendor all inferior radiance is extinguished. Indiman touched my elbow. "Look at that one," he murmured. Now that WAS a hat.
M. de Véron himself was frequently in the habit of calling, on his way to or from Mon Séjour, for a pâté and a little lively badinage with the comely widow; and so frequently, at one time, that Edouard le Blanc was half-inclined to Madame Carson's infinite amusement to be jealous of the rich, though elderly merchant's formal and elaborate courtesies.
Jean le Blanc, that was higher up the river, and a hold of no great strength. On the Orleans side, to guard the road from Burgundy, the English had but one fort, St. Loup, for Burgundy and the north were of their part, and by this way they expected no enemy.
Scarron alludes to the delicacy of the Count's taste and the refinement of his wit, by saying of him: "The muses brought him up on blanc mange and chicken broth." How Ninon kept together this remarkable coterie can best be understood by an incident unparalleled in female annals.
When Nice was annexed to France in 1860 Monaco passed under French protection again, and now it is subject to conscription like the rest of France. Ten years after the beginning of this new order of things the great M. Blanc was expelled from Hombourg, and the Prince of Monaco rented to him the-gambling privilege of Monte Carlo. Then the modern splendor of the place began.
Your father is right; your mouth is too grave. Think of something amusing of the Bal Blanc at Madame d'Etaples, or merely, if you like, of the satisfaction it will give you to be done with these everlasting sittings to be no longer obliged to bear the burden of a secret, in short to get rid of your portrait-painter." She made him no answer, not daring to trust her voice.
Has that leaping fire died down into grey ashes? Has the great river that burst out then, like the stream from the foot of the glaciers of Mont Blanc, full-grown in its birth, been all swallowed up in the sand, like some of those rivers in the East? Has the oil dried in the cruse?
He knows his time will come; he has only to be handy. You see, old Nevil believes in Providence, is perfectly sure he will one day hear it cry out, "Where's Beauchamp?" "Here I am!" "And here's your marquise!" "I knew I should have her at last," says Nevil, calm as Mont Blanc on a reduced scale.
The two sisters wept together for hours. Innocence, guilt, and retribution blended together in a scene of awful tragedy amid the glaciers of Mt. Blanc.
