The little Jacqueline glanced round once, smiling a quick welcome, but returned immediately to her contemplation of M. Cartel; the younger of the two men by the door an Italian paused in the lighting of a cigarette, but his companion an old Polish Jew with a classic head and long, gray beard retained his attitude of rapt attention, while the woman, who sat a little apart, and whose large black hat hid her face, made no sign.
He raised his glass and called Dorsenne to show him a curious armchair, the carving of a cartel, the embroidery on some material. One glance sufficed for him to judge.... If the novelist had been capable of observing, he would have perceived in the detailed knowledge the banker had of the catalogue the trace of a study too deep not to accord with some mysterious project.
If I sent you a cartel, you and your whippersnapper Friends would sneer at it, because I am poor, and fling Led Captain in my teeth. You won't fight with a poor Gentleman of the Sword.
Leaning over the balcony railing, drinking in the music of M. Cartel, more than a little of heaven opened to him; a unique emotion thrilled him a consciousness of sublimity, a sense of being part of some unfathomable yet perfect scheme. The music wove its story; the lovers became one with his own existence, as he himself was one with the stars above him and the lights below.
'One must live! For the rest, there were moments such as this moments when the artist was paramount in each of them when pure enthusiasm made them children again! M. Cartel played on.
To return to the war. A cornet of my regiment being taken prisoner and carried to Saint Germain, the Queen immediately ordered his head to be cut off, but I sent a trumpeter to acquaint the Court that I would make reprisals upon my prisoners, so that my cornet was exchanged and a cartel settled.
And they seized the hands of the king, who embraced them all once more, and, going into his oratory, melted into tears. "Our cartel is ready," said Quelus, "we have but to add the day and hour. Write, Maugiron, the day after the Fete Dieu. Here is a table." "It is done," said Maugiron, "now who will carry the letter?"
On the very day of his departure, and immediately after his final quarrel with Sir John about the Hohenlo cartel, which had renewed all the ancient venom, he signed a secret paper, by which he especially forbade the council of state to interfere with or set aside any appointments to the government of towns or forts, or to revoke any military or naval commissions, without his consent.
One does not eat when one has failed in one's art or quarrelled with one's best friend! "Mademoiselle," he said, unsteadily, "you are kind and I am not without appreciation. But to-day I have no appetite food does not call to me. Doubtless, there are days when M. Cartel cannot eat." He strove to force a laugh. Jacqueline looked humorously grave.
By the terms of the cartel then in force, prisoners captured by either army were required to be forwarded as soon as possible to either Aiken's landing below Dutch Gap on the James River, or to Vicksburg, there to be exchanged, or paroled until they could be exchanged. There was a Confederate commissioner at Vicksburg, authorized to make the exchange.
