I can look out for myself I'm all right!" the girl exclaimed roundly, frankly, with a ring of honesty which made her crude and pure. "As for doing the bad ones I'm not afraid of that." "The bad ones?" "The bad women in the plays like Madame Carré. I'll do any vile creature." "I think you'll do best what you are" and Sherringham laughed for the interest of it. "You're a strange girl."
Then before entering the Salon Carre he pointed to the window and said: "That is the balcony where Charles IX fired on the people!" With a magnificent gesture he ordered his party to stand still in the center of the Salon Carre. "There are only chefs-d'oeuvres here," he whispered as solemnly as if he had been in a church. They walked around the salon.
His spirits were rising to the requirements of his work, and he was looking forward with quite novel enjoyment to a steady spell of writing, when his hostess startled him, as she cleared away his breakfast, by saying "It iss the day after to-morrow you will be going?" "Eh? What? Going? No, I'm not going, Mrs. Carré. What made you think I was going? Why, I've only just come."
There were good reasons for this, for, despite an excellent foundation for the music, the libretto had serious faults. I demanded that Barbier and Carré, the authors, should make important changes, which they did at once. Then, I retired to the heights of Louveciennes and in two months wrote the score of the five acts which the work had at first.
I gasped in my fright, and let the body go, as the other jerked out the same words, and released his hold also, and the body fell between us. "Dieu-de-dieu, Carré! But I thought this was you," panted Le Marchant in a shaky voice. "And I thought it was you." We bent together and lifted the fallen one to solid ground, but it was too dark to see his face. "Is he dead?"
Carre fell in love with lady Frances Howard, daughter to the Earl of Suffolk, and lately divorced from the Earl of Essex . He communicated his passion to his friend, who was too penetrating not to know that no man could live with much comfort, with a woman of the Countess's stamp, of whose morals he had a bad opinion; he insinuated to Carre some suspicions, and those well founded, against her honour; he dissuaded him with all the warmth of the sincerest friendship, to desist from a match that would involve him in misery, and not to suffer his passion for her beauty to have so much sway over him, as to make him sacrifice his peace to its indulgence.
And the idea had struck me all of a heap, that if any ill had befallen George Hamon or my grandfather we might wait in vain for their coming, when a shout came pealing down the long and narrow cleft of the cave "Carré! Phil Carré!" I thought it was George Hamon's voice, and the start I gave woke Carette, and we set off for the rock parlour.
The girl again placed herself in position and rolled out a fragment of one of the splendid conversations of Musset's poet with his muse rolled it loudly and proudly, tossed it and tumbled it about the room. Madame Carré watched her at first, but after a few moments she shut her eyes, though the best part of the business was to take in her young candidate's beauty.
He's not coming in here as long as I've got a fist to lift against him." "You refuse?" said Martel blackly. "You had better go to the Greffier," said Philip Carré. "The Court will have to decide it." "It is my house." "I'm in charge of it, and I won't give it up till the Sénéchal tells me to. So there!" said Hamon. Martel turned on his heel and walked away, and the three stood looking after him.
Where shall we go to-day?" laughed Margaret, and Lady Elspeth could hardly take her eyes off her, so winsomely, so radiantly happy was she. "We old folks will stay at home and talk to Mrs. Carré," said Lady Elspeth. "You young ones can go off and do what you like." "Oh no, you don't," said Graeme. "You didn't come here to loaf in a verandah.
