Others read similarly, some long, some short. "I can show you what will strike you more," exclaimed Chamilly, in a moment. "I have been planning your visit a little." "Have you a geyser or a catacomb?" "No sir, a fountain of life," replied he, jocosely. "Let us get our hats." As they went down the village, he continued to banter.
The royal family occupied a small suite of apartments consisting of four cells, formerly belonging to the ancient monastery of the Feuillans. In the first were the men who had accompanied the King: the Prince de Poix, the Baron d'Aubier, M. de Saint-Pardou, equerry to Madame Elisabeth, MM. de Goguelat, de Chamilly, and de Hue.
The meeting now resumed its discussions. "We require strategy!" asserted a burly, red-haired lawyer from the City. "I confess myself in favor of strategy," admitted Zotique also; "I am always in favor," said Chamilly, "of the strategy of organized tactics, of the avoidance of useless by-questions, and of spirit and intelligence in attack and defence."
"We have a little newspaper Le Coup d'Oeil," cried Zotique. Chrysler congratulated Chamilly on his felicity of design in the dwellings. The greater size of the houses was chiefly for better ventilation. The windmill was part of a simple water-works system, which supplied the village with draughts from the bottom of the river. The school was a gift of Chamilly's.
"V'la Monseigneur!" called out Pierre, our coachman, on the pier, the lineaments of whose face half seemed a memory suddenly grown vivid and real. "Mon Dieu!" he cried laughing and crying, as he looked at me closely, "It's M'sieu Chamilly! My dear child, it was painful to have you absent so long. Why did you not come even to see us? Please give me your hand again. But how you are loaded!
He attached pensions of 6000 livres and 4000 livres to the grades of lieutenant-general and camp-marshal. To several other people he gave pensions of 4000 livres; to eight or ten others, 3000 or 2000 livres. I obtained one of 8000 livres for Madame Marechal de Lorges; and one of 6000 livres was given to the Marechal de Chamilly, whose affairs were much deranged by the Mississippi.
Zotique spoke, and his eyes darkened energetically. "I cannot guarantee you, Miséricorde." All looked at each other. There was consternation. "But surely Benoit has reported on that place," said Chamilly. "In my absence. He has met me as little as possible. But Cuiller was seen an hour ago entering the Circuit Court." "Traitors!" breathed de la Lande. "I do not trust this American.
Come, where is your valise? Let me do something for you, M'sieu Chamilly." "Les v'la!" "V'la Monseigneur!" "V'la M'sieu Chamilly!" the shouts went up.
"That young person," replied she, "has descended to the plane of her condition: I have no further interest in her." But the devout lady sighed. The Gulf storm lowered steadily and disagreeably all next day and the visitor saw nothing of Chamilly, who kept in his room until the evening. But there was one excitement which occupied everyone else's attention: "Who do you think struck François?"
A flash of the whip, a leap of the two animals, Picault careening into the ditch, and Chamilly flying into Miséricorde. "Nobleness still makes us proud" The election was Haviland's.
