It may be that Le Breton's changes had been less extensive than Diderot, in his first excitement on making the discovery, had been led to believe.
It is not a despicable or very ascetic regimen which Stevenson lays before us under April in his reproduction of Breton's "Fantasticks," 1626, under the title of the "Twelve Months," 1661: "The wholesome dyet that breeds good sanguine juyce, such as pullets, capons, sucking veal, beef not above three years Old, a draught of morning milk fasting from the cow; grapes, raysons, and figs be good before meat; Rice with Almond Milk, birds of the Field, Peasants and Partridges, and fishes of stony rivers, Hen eggs potcht, and such like."
Once within Breton's inner room, with the door closed upon them, Spargo dropped into an easy-chair and looked at the young barrister with earnest attention. "Breton!" he said. "I believe we're coming in sight of land. You want to save your prospective father-in-law, don't you?" "Of course!" growled Breton. "That goes without saying. But "
That he had disturbed a most intimate and critical conversation was somehow borne in upon Sir Wilfrid. But kind and even romantic as was the old man's inmost nature, his feelings were not friendly. "How does the biography get on?" he asked his companion, with a smile. A bright flush appeared in Mademoiselle Le Breton's cheek. "I think Lady Henry has dropped it."
The portrait and the Canaletti were relics of Lady Le Breton's best days, when Sir Owen was alive, and the boys were still in their first babyhood. Sir Owen was an Indian officer of the old school, a simple-minded, gentle, brave man, very religious after his own fashion, and an excellent soldier, with the true Anglo-Indian faculty for administration and organisation.
"Now we can really speak frankly," he said. "The situation has grown very difficult, and we did not know Evelyn and I whether we had a right to explain it. But now that Lady Henry " "Oh yes," said Sir Wilfrid, "that's all right. The fact of Mademoiselle Le Breton's parentage " "Is really what makes Lady Henry so jealous!" cried the Duchess, indignantly. "Oh, she's a tyrant, is Aunt Flora!
"But you may have to make some sacrifices in order to do it," said Spargo. "You see " "Sacrifices!" exclaimed Breton. "What " "You may have to sacrifice some ideas you may find that you'll not be able to think as well of some people in the future as you have thought of them in the past. For instance Mr. Elphick." Breton's face grew dark. "Speak plainly, Spargo!" he said. "It's best with me."
Then she broke off to say: "Here they come, just across the lawn, in front of us." The procession had entered one of the long, straight paths; and then, turning round the lawn by way of the Breton's Cross, it came back by a parallel path. It took more than a quarter of an hour to execute this movement, during which the double file of tapers resembled two long parallel streams of flame.
A shredding knife. A chopping knife. An apple cradle. A pair of irons to make wafers with. A brass pot-lid. In the beef-house was an assortment of tubs, casks, and hogsheads. The dripping-pan is noticed in Breton's "Fantasticks," 1626: "Dishes and trenchers are necessary servants, and they that have no meat may go scrape; a Spit and a Dripping-pan would do well, if well furnished."
For if the truth must be told, Edie's first admiring criticism was perfectly correct, and Ernest Le Breton's leader was just for all the world exactly the same as anybody else's. Meanwhile, Arthur Berkeley had stayed behind as requested in Mr. Lancaster's study, and waited to hear what Mr. Lancaster had to say to him.
