Bulteel returned, in an evident state of suppressed agitation. "Will you please follow me, Miss Deane?" he said, with a singular air of deference. "Sir Francis is quite alone and will see you at once." Mary's blue eyes opened in amazement. "Sir Francis !" she stammered. "I don't quite understand " "This way," said Mr.
No one saw that Madame Bulteel held herself rigidly, and was so white that even the sunlight was gold beside her look. Yet the strangest, saddest smile played about her lips; and presently, as the eyes of the others fastened on the woman and did not leave her, she regained her usual composure. The woman kept looking at Gabriel Druse.
And as both Professor Sedgwick and Joe Bulteel were well known to the squire and Harry, they entered into the joke also with all their hearts; and one peal of laughter followed another, as the squire's comments made many a distinct addition to the unconscious humor of the letters.
She had not reached the door, however, when Madame Bulteel entered the room. "The doctor from New York has come," she said, holding out a note from Dr. Rockwell. "He will be here in a couple of hours." Fleda turned back towards the bed. "Good luck!" she said. "You'll see, it will be all right." "Certainly I'll see if it's all right," he said cheerfully. "Am I tidy? Have I used Pears' soap?"
"I shouldn't have thought it in your case," she said, and with sudden resolve turned towards the door. "I'll send Madame Bulteel," she added. "I'm going for a walk." She had betrayed herself so much, had shown so recklessly what she felt, and yet, yet why did he not she did not know what she wanted him to do. It was all a great confusion.
"Shame stings a woman like nothing else," Madame Bulteel said with a sigh. "It was so with me," continued Dennis's wife. "Then at last the thought came that there was another woman. And all the time M. Marchand kept coming and going, at first when Dennis was there, and always with some good reason for coming horses, cattle, shooting, or furs bought of the Indians.
The real feud between the two towns began about the time of the arrival of Gabriel Druse, his daughter, and Madame Bulteel, the woman in black, and it had grown with great rapidity and increasing intensity.
And, driven to desperation at last, when Burton was undressing me, I said to him: "Did you ever know anything of the Hartlefords, Burton Bulteel is the family name?"
Mrs Bulteel had been heard to say that she could not allow dear Lord Blandamer to be married without her being there. Canon Parkyn and Mrs Parkyn felt that their presence also was required ex-officio, and Clerk Janaway averred with some redundancies of expletive that he, too, "must see 'em turned off." He hadn't been to London for twenty year.
"You will go back to Dennis?" asked Fleda gently. "Some other woman will make him happy when he forgets me," was the cheerless, grey reply. The old man got up and, coming over, laid a hand upon her shoulder. "Where did you think of going from here?" he asked. "Anywhere I don't know," was the reply. "Is there no work here for her?" he asked, turning to Madame Bulteel. "Yes, plenty," was the reply.
