He answered the very short compliment I made him when I first came into his presence by speaking of something else, as if I had already been a week in his house. He did not bid us sit down. The stupid chatelain, the lord of the manor, remained standing.
"Chatelain, don't be angry. You have something to say to me. You know what I mean." "I don't know really. No, I don't know." "Chatelain, Chatelain, why not be sensible? Tell me something about Captain de Saint-Avit." "I know nothing." He spoke sharply. "Nothing? Then what were you saying a little while ago?" "Captain de Saint-Avit is a brave man."
Nettuno had been placed in a convenient attitude for his master to unloosen the belt, and, as it was the intention of the latter to replace it, the animal still lay quietly in the same position, a circumstance which displaced his shaggy coat, and allowed the châtelain to detect the object to which he had just alluded.
Heaven knows, fame is apt enough to do, except in giving their just dues to those who are in high trusts, thou didst conduct thyself in that affair, Maso, like a loyal and well-taught mariner: but the honorable châtelain has well remarked, that holy justice must have way before all other things.
I have often climbed to the Col, but I shall never dare do it again; for, though the honorable and worthy châtelain, and the most worthy bailiff, are willing to pay their homage to a Doge of Genoa in his own person, they may be less tender of his honor when he is absent. Addio, caro San Bernardo! Like me, thou art solitary and weather-beaten, and like me, though rude of aspect, thou hast thy uses.
"Though there is no quality more sacred than justice," interposed the châtelain, who alone could speak with authority in the Valais; "it is fairly within the province of her servants to permit her to go unexpiated, in order that greater good may come of the sacrifice.
"I have the Lieutenant's permission?" said Sergeant Chatelain, beginning to glance through the magazines he had just removed from their wrappings. I acquiesced with a nod, already completely absorbed in reading Mlle. de C 's letter. "When this reaches you," was the gist of this charming being's letter, "mama and I will doubtless have left Paris for the country.
"Then what they say, what you yourself " "That is talk." "Talk which is repeated in France, Chatelain, everywhere." He bent his head still lower without replying. "Ass," I burst out, "will you speak?" "Lieutenant, Lieutenant," he fairly pled, "I swear that what I know, or nothing " "What you know you are going to tell me, and right away.
Even if the old Vendean soldier, the châtelain of Fossé, took little care of his estate, she said that his constant kindness made everything easy and his original turn of mind made everything amusing. "No sooner had we arrived," wrote Madame de Staël, "than an Italian musician whom I had with me, to give lessons to my daughter, began to play the guitar.
And when he was before the prince, he excused himself so sagely that the prince and his council held him excused, and so he fell again into the prince's love and redeemed out his men by reasonable ransoms; and the chatelain was set to his ransom of ten thousand franks, the which he paid after.
