"An' that li'l' coterie, sinze hearing that from Beloiseau juz' this evening, are anxiouz to see you at ones; they are, like ourselve', so fon' of yo' son; and they cannot call all together my faith, that would be a procession! And bi-side', Mme. Castanado she well you understan' why that is she never go' h-out. Same time M. Castanado he's down-stair' waiting "Shall I go around there with you?
One of her pleasantest impressions as she made herself at ease among them, and they around her and Mme. Castanado, was that they regarded this fact as honoring all while flattering none.
You'll drive the large, me the small." "Hah! Tha'z a gran' scheme. At the en', dinner at Antoine', all the men chipping in! Castanado Dubroca me Mr. Chezter, eh?" "With the greatest pleasure if I'm included." "Include' hoh! By the laws of nature!" M. De l'Isle went on up-stairs. "We had a dinner like that," Beloiseau said, "only withoud the joy-ride and withoud those three Mlles.
Castanado, I " "Madame hopes Mr. Chezter can at last, this evening, come at home for that reading." "Mr. Castanado, I can't! I'm mighty sorry! My whole evening's engaged. So is to-morrow's. May I come the next evening after? . . . Thank you. . . . Yes, at seven. Just the three of us, of course? Yes." Six o'clock found Chester in Ovide's bookshop.
Thus they spoke, happily even a bit recklessly conscious that they were themselves a beautiful story without the flash of a sword or the cloud of a misdeed in range of their sight, and not because the vieux carré was unlike, but so like the rest of the world. "Where are we going?" Aline inquired, and tried to look forward around Mme. Castanado.
Thorndyke-Smith, who was very pleasing every way, but in nothing more than in her praises of the Royal Street coterie. Next morning, in a hired car, she had Castanado and Mme. Dubroca, Beloiseau and Mme. Alexandre, not merely show but, as the ironworker said, pinching forefinger and thumb together in the air, "elucidate" to her, for hours, the vieux carré. The day's latter half brought Mlles.
Each of the three women had separately asked her father confessor how far one might justly well lie to those seeking the truth only for cruel and wicked ends. But as no two had received the same answer, and as Chester's uncle was gone to his reward or penalty the question was early tabled. "Well," Mme. Castanado said: "'And so we went in the coach. Go on, read."
De l'Isle and Alexandre arose, and M. Castanado asked aloud if there was any of the company who could not return a week from that evening. No one was so unlucky. "But!" cried Mme. Alexandre, "why not to my parlor?" "Because!" said Mme. Castanado, to Chester's vivid enlightenment, "every week-day, all day, you have mademoiselle with you."
She di'n' look like him but they insist' that also come later. Any'ow she's rent' half-an'-half by those grand-mère' of Castanado and Dubroca, at the firzt just to call 'shop'! at back door when a cuztomer come in, and when growing older to make herseff many other way' uzeful. And by consequence she was oft-en playmate with the chil'ren of all that coterie there in Royal Street.
Chezter to do that, if " "If he'll take the pains," the niece broke in, "to call Sunday afternoon. Then I'll have the manuscript back from Mr. Castanado and we'll read it to my Aunt Corinne and my Aunt Yvonne, all four together in the garden."
