"Pont du Sable Bon Dieu!" "Cristi!" thundered Torin. "You say you are going to live in Pont du Sable? Hélas! It is not possible, my friend, you are in earnest!" "That lost hole of a village of sacré vagabonds," echoed Pompanet. "Why, the mud when the tide is out smells like the devil. It is unhealthy." "Père Bordier and I went there for ducks twenty years ago," added the mayor.
In spite of the damning facts she had discovered, the evidence of Madam Bordier and Monsieur Duchanel, of the peasant women at Tillires and of Pierre de Folligny, the testimony of Hermia's pale face at the shooting lodge at Alenon and of her confession which she had not thought of doubting, the belief had slowly gained force in her mind that Markham had not lied to her.
At Annecy the women have cut down the liberty pole and burnt the archives of the club and commune. Rehabilitation of Bordier and Jourdain, hung in August, 1789. Cf. "Archives des Affaires etrangeres," vol. 331. Buchez et Roux, XXVIII., 494. Ibid., XXX., 386.
No wonder they were tired out with the worry and his insolence!" "It appears Miss Descartes has had attacks of fainting like this more than once before. The doctor in Paris thinks there is some weakness of the heart, but forbids her being told," said Mrs Dene. Ruth interposed quickly, not looking at Gethryn: "Papa and Monsieur Bordier, where are they?"
Beyond, in a haze of chill sea mist, lie the woodlands, long undulating ribbons of gray twigs crouching under a leaden sky. In the cavernous cider press whose doors creak open within my courtyard Père Bordier and a boy in eartabs, are busy making cider.
Two figures were coming down from the Jaeger's cottage. Gethryn recognized the colonel and Monsieur Bordier. At the risk of scrutiny from those cool, elderly, masculine eyes, Rex's manhood pulled itself together. He went back to meet them, and presently they all joined the ladies in the apology for a parlor, where coffee was being served.
His father had come to this decision by the advice of Monsieur Marguerite, the vicaire of his parish and a friend of the Abbé Bordier. The bookbinder, having a high respect for knowledge, entertained a correspondingly high idea of the status of all its ministers.
Ruth's face fell, and she lost her bright color. "But no! my dear!" said Madame. "Zere ees nossing ze mattaire. Your fazzer ees quite vell," and she hurried her indoors. Rex and Monsieur Bordier were left together on the platform. The amiable Frenchman did the honors as if it were a private salon. Monsieur the colonel was perfectly well. But perfectly!
I met Yvonne in the Louvre last week. I'm glad you are all over that affair, for she's going to be married, she told me. She looked prettier than ever, and as happy as she was pretty. She was with old Bordier of the Fauvette, and his wife, and think of this! she's coming out in Belle Helene! Well! I'm glad she's all right, for she was too nice to go the usual way.
It is only half an hour since he left. He did us the honor to say that Mademoiselle Dene could need no better chaperon than my wife Monsieur the colonel was a little fatigued, but badly, no." Monsieur Bordier led the way to the usual spring and wooden trough behind the house, and, while Rex was enjoying a refreshing dip, he continued to chat.
