"He is, and has been active in taking the usual examinations." "Activity is his strong property, and he needs be that, Herr Steinbach, who passeth the life of a mountaineer. The noble Genoese, and my ancient friend Melchior, and his fair daughter the beautiful Adelheid, and the equitable Châtelain, thou sayest, are all fairly reposed and comfortable?"
When a half-dozen slaughtered little bodies were lined up at our feet I put my hand on the Sergeant's shoulder. "Chatelain!" He trembled. "Chatelain, I was rude to you a little while ago. Don't be angry. It was the bad time before the siesta. The bad time of midday." "The Lieutenant is master here," he answered in a tone that was meant to be gruff, but which was only strained.
"And you shall have it!" cried the boy. "Chatelain! Abbot! these men are mine. They shall come with me, and lodge in St. Bertin." "Heaven forefend!" murmured the Abbot. "They will be safe, at least, within your ramparts," whispered the Chatelain. "And they shall tell me about the sea.
Under the entrance vault are doors on either side giving access to the living apartments of the rez-de-chaussée. In the inner courtyard is to be found the most exquisite architectural detail of the whole fabric, the tower which encloses the monumental stairway, to which entrance is had by a portal which is a veritable Gothic jewel. In the tympan of this portal, as in the dormer windows, is the device of Jean Cottereau, except in this case it is much more elaborate a Saint Michel and the dragon, surrounded by a "semis de coquilles" bearing the escutcheons of the chatelain d'argent

To the west the sun had disappeared behind the dunes gashed against the black violet of the sky. When we had crossed the gate of the fortifications, Chatelain left me. "I am going to the stables," he said.
After the departure of Madam de Verdelin the fermentation increased, and, notwithstanding the reiterated rescripts of the king, the frequent orders of the council of state, and the cares of the chatelain and magistrates of the place, the people, seriously considering me as antichrist, and perceiving all their clamors to be of no effect, seemed at length determined to proceed to violence; stones were already thrown after me in the roads, but I was however in general at too great a distance to receive any harm from them.

A less warm wind rocked the trembling black palm branches. We had laid aside our helmets so that our temples could welcome the touch of the feeble breeze. "Chatelain," I said, "it is time to go back to the bordj."
That horde of scoundrels will spare nothing! And when will it all be over? I hope that my letter will find you well and happy, and I beg you to believe me gratefully and respectfully yours, LÉON CHATELAIN Maréchal des Logis 206e Artillerie 28e Batterie Secteur 122.
He jumped from his bed, put on his robe de chambre, and instantly came to me with the guard, which, on account of the fair, went the round that night, and was just at hand.
