When I have done some work, I will present myself." "As you please. Then wait here for me." "What are we waiting for?" asked a voice. "For the master," replied another. At this moment, a tall man entered. "Gentlemen," said he, "I come in his name." "Ah! it is M. de Mayneville," said Poulain. "Ah, really!" said Briquet, making a hideous grimace, which quite altered him.

Et non intermuit medulla mea!" exclaimed Briquet; "but pardon me, perhaps you do not understand Latin?" "Do you?" "As you see." "What a catch?" thought Poulain, "learned, strong, bold, and rich!" Then he added aloud, "Well! let us enter," and he conducted Briquet to the door of the hotel.

"But Monsieur de Mayneville." "Good gracious!" "And which same Monsieur de Mayneville conducted Jacques to the hostelry of the 'Brave Chevalier." "Monsieur Briquet! Monsieur Briquet!" cried Jacques, "if you know that "

"Well! I confess I was preoccupied." "Really!" "Can you not be indulgent to a man who has so much work on his shoulders? Governing this priory is like governing a province: remember, I command two hundred men." "Ah! it is too much indeed for a servant of God." "Ah! you are ironical, M. Briquet.

"What! are they rarities?" "I nourish them in a particular manner." "Oh, oh!" "Yes," added Gorenflot; "it appears that the Romans or the Greeks I forget which nourished their lampreys as Eusebius does his eels.

It was absolutely necessary to give the men some morale; and, mounting the breastwork, I made a cigarette, struck fire with my briquet, and walked up and down, smoking.

Put on your cloak, then, and come, for Sir Walter Hewett and Sir Robert Briquet, with one or two others, are awaiting us." "Nay, Oliver, I cannot be with you, for I must to Montaubon this day." "To Montaubon? But I have heard that your Company is to come with my forty Winchester rascals to Dax." "If you will take charge of them, Oliver.
