They are handsome, modest, upright, simple, courageous, not too clever. Much as I like those most unassuming, manly, unpretending gentlemen, I have to own that I think the heroes of another writer, viz. are quite the equals of Scott's men; perhaps Leather-stocking is better than any one in "Scott's lot." La Longue Carabine is one of the great prize-men of fiction.
The Mingoes know him better by the death he gives their warriors; with them he is 'The Long Rifle'." "La Longue Carabine!" exclaimed Tamenund, opening his eyes, and regarding the scout sternly. "My son has not done well to call him friend." "I call him so who proves himself such," returned the young chief, with great calmness, but with a steady mien.
"Foolish man!" said Carabine, at a nod from Madame Nourrisson, "don't you see that poor child Cydalise a girl of sixteen, who has been pining for you these three months, till she has lost her appetite for food or drink, and who is heart-broken because you have never even glanced at her?"
Hackstoun of Rathillet keepit the brig wi' mustket and carabine and pike, sword and scythe for what I ken, and we horsemen were ordered down to cross at the ford, I hate fords at a' times, let abee when there's thousands of armed men on the other side.
"Ah! my dear monsieur," said Madame Nourrisson, enlightened by the slang, "you are an artist, you write plays, you live in the rue du Helder and are friends with Madame Anatolia; you have habits that I know all about. Come, do you want some rarity in the grand style, Carabine or Mousqueton, Malaga or Jenny Cadine?" "Malaga, Carabine! nonsense!" cried Leon de Lora. "It was we who invented them."
Now, on the morning of the very day when Madame de Saint-Esteve had prophesied success to Victorin, Carabine had said to du Tillet at about seven o'clock: "If you want to be very nice, you will give me a dinner at the Rocher de Cancale and bring Combabus. We want to know, once for all, whether he has a mistress. I bet that he has, and I should like to win."
"A man does not make such a voyage for nothing," remarked Madame Nourrisson. "You have a right to look for love for your own sake, particularly being so good-looking. Oh, he is very handsome!" said she to Carabine. "Very handsome, handsomer than the Postillon de Longjumeau," replied the courtesan. Cydalise took the Brazilian's hand, but he released it as politely as he could.
Linden that my days are to terminate: you are sure that Carabine saw to that trigger?" "Certain," said Mr. Percy, with his mouth full, "certain. Bless me, here's the carriage, and breakfast not half done yet." "Come, come," cried Borodaile, impatiently, "we must breakfast afterwards. Here, Roberts, see that we have fresh chocolate and some more cutlets when we return."
"No, my son, we don't do that here nowadays." "Oh!" said Montes, "I am not a native of this country. I live in a parish where I can laugh at your laws; and if you give me proof " "Well, that note. Is that nothing?" "No," said the Brazilian. "I do not believe in the writing. I must see for myself." "See!" cried Carabine, taking the hint at once from a gesture of her supposed aunt.
The patrol fired his carabine upon the body, and the report was instantly followed by the clang of his horse's feet as he galloped off. 'Hylax in limine latrat, said the Baron of Bradwardine, who heard the shot;'that loon will give the alarm. The clan of Fergus had now gained the firm plain, which had lately borne a large crop of corn.
