Beverly knew that it was a faded rose! The next morning a royal messenger came to Count Marlanx. He bore two sealed letters from the princess. One briefly informed him that General Braze was his successor as commander-in-chief of the army of Graustark. He hesitated long before opening the other. It was equally brief and to the point.
Many of the men were demanding their pay so that they might give up their jobs and return to their own lands. "What is your name?" demanded the harassed minister of police. "Polson," replied the foreman. He lied, for he was no other than John Cromer, the unsavoury husband of Anna Cromer, of the Committee of Ten. "Come with me," said Dangloss. "We will go to General Braze.
Art, Literature, and the Bourse had also their representatives in Henri Bernard, a rising young portrait-painter, whom the Emperor honoured with his patronage, the Vicomte de Braze, and M. Savarin. Science was not altogether forgotten, but contributed its agreeable delegate in the person of the eminent physician to whom we have been before introduced, Dr. Bacourt.
General Braze, with a few of his men, bloody and heartsick, was the last of the little army to reach safety in the Castle grounds, coming up by way of the lower gates from the fortress, which they had tried to reach after the first outbreak, but had found themselves forestalled. The fortress, with all guns, stores and ammunition, was in the hands of the Iron Count and his cohorts.
"Oh, yes, we can do that. The initial cast was what stumped me. But we'll go ahead now." "And you can wind the breech with wire, and braze it on; can't you?" persisted Tom. "Yes, I think so. Are you going to have a wire-wound gun?" "That, in combination with a steel-jacketed one.
The dash of the three hundred through the gates and down the avenue was the most spectacular experience in Truxton's life. He was up with Quinnox and General Braze, galloping well in front of the yelling troop.
"No; ugly, old too; thirty at least." Duplessis felt relieved. He did not wish his daughter to fall in love with an Englishman. "And the next?" "The next?" she said hesitatingly, and he observed that a soft blush accompanied the hesitation. "Yes, the next. Not English too?" "Oh, no; the Marquis de Rochebriant." "Ah! who presented him to thee?" "Thy friend, petit pere, M. de Braze."
Art, Literature, and the Bourse had also their representatives in Henri Bernard, a rising young portrait-painter, whom the Emperor honoured with his patronage, the Vicomte de Braze, and M. Savarin. Science was not altogether forgotten, but contributed its agreeable delegate in the person of the eminent physician to whom we have been before introduced, Dr. Bacourt.
In talking with the Vicomte de Braze in the intervals of the dance, he had made some passing remark on her beauty. De Braze had said, "Yes, she is charming; I will present you," and hastened to do so before Rochebriant even learned her name. So introduced, he could but invite her to give him her first disengaged dance, and when that was fixed, he had retired, without entering into conversation.
If Tullis and General Braze were given a month or two longer, I doubt if we could succeed. The blow must catch them unprepared." "This is the 22d, Saturday is the 26th. They can do nothing in four days," said one of the women. "Count Marlanx will be ready on the 26th. He has said so.
