She chatters gibberish that I can’t make out a word of for an hour at a time, and then, all of a sudden, she screams, ’Dinner’s ready,’ or something equally silly, in a voice like a carvin’ knife. It’s enough to drive a sane person stark, raving mad. It is." Lucinda acquiesced with a nod. Lucinda herself was glad that Arethusa had gone.
It wuz a beautiful buildin', the walls covered with ornamental carvin' and ornaments, and two tall pillars standin' up each side of the entrance as if they wuz two Genis jealously guardin' the Under World from intrusion. But we got by 'em. And what didn't we see there? Everything that wuz ever dug out of the earth, and the way it wuz discovered, mined and made useful to man.
The new doctrine of primeval equality has already made some progress. At a small inn at Carvin, where, upon the assurance that they had every thing in the world, we stopped to dine, on my observing they had laid more covers than were necessary, the woman answered, "Et les domestiques, ne dinent ils pas?" "And, pray, are the servants to have no dinner?"
And the more heavily when at noon time the cook from Clark's tapped upon the kitchen door and reported with great indignation that "jes' while her back was turned a minute that there dog had stolen her leg she was about to be carvin' and had gone off with it like he was possessed." "Your leg well, now!" cried Nora, all sympathy.
Wid all yer cuttin' and carvin' things to see the internals av thim, I'd do more to the call av a woman's finger than for all the logic and knowalogy y' ever chewed an' there y'are, me little tailor o' jur'sprudince!" "To the finger call of Hilton's wife, eh?" Macavoy was not quite sure what Pierre's enigmatical tone meant.
"But your friend, monsieur?" he asked. "It will be arranged," Louis answered, in a low tone. "We shall speak to Monsieur Carvin." We were in a dark sort of entresol, and at that moment a further door was opened, and one caught the gleam of lights and the babel of voices. A man came out of the room and walked rapidly toward us.
"Is it digging out or carvin' in y'are?" he asked, puffing into his beard. Pierre looked up contemptuously, but did not reply to the insinuation, for he never saw an insult unless he intended to avenge it; and he would not quarrel with Macavoy. "What are you going to give?" he asked. "Aw, give what to who, hop-o'-me-thumb?"
Elise explained that Monsieur Carvin was the wreck of a genius. In his youth he had been the chosen pupil of Ingres and Hippolyte Flandrin, had won the prix de Rome, and after his three years in the Villa Medicis had come home to take up what was expected to be a brilliant career.
"I'll say to him that you'll do it with tears of joy, if you can have a month for preparation." "Make it two an' I'm your man, seein' as you've lied for me, sir. But on wan condition where does he keep his coin?" "If you try that on, you'll die bit by bit like the men in the Beit-el- Mal to-day," answered Slatin quickly. "I'm carvin' me own mutton, thank ye kindly, sir," answered Macnamara.
On the road between Carvin and Lisle we saw Dumouriez, who is going to take the command of the army, and has now been visiting the camp of Maulde. He appears to be under the middle size, about fifty years of age, with a brown complexion, dark eyes, and an animated countenance.
