"The estate of Berville; the Hôtel Mazarin; the lands of Bourget; the Marquisat of Charleville; the lands of Orcher; the estate of Roissy Gad! what a number of them I find." "But, Monsieur," expostulated the Swiss, "what is that you do? Are these not your possessions?" "Not so, mon ami," replied Law. "They once were mine. They are estates in France. Take back these deeds.
Down in the Co-operative I asked for a tin of milk, and I was told: 'We are keeping the milk for the "Civils." 'For the "Civils"? I said, for we are all accustomed to the idea that the army feeds first." "Oh, that's all gone! We are losing importance now. It is time to go home." As they spoke there came a shrill whistle which sounded through Charleville.
"Your Excellency hinted to His Majesty in your last conversation at Charleville in April that President Wilson possibly would try towards the end of summer to offer his good services to the belligerents for the promotion of peace. The German Government has no information as to whether the President adheres to this idea, and as to the eventual date at which his step would take place. Mr.
"Which is the 'Silver Lion'?" she called, her voice echoing in the empty street. Soon, between rugs on a bed in the "Silver Lion," between a single sheet doubled in two, she slept propping the lockless door with her suitcase. The Renault slept or watched below in the courtyard, the moon sank, the small hours passed, the day broke, the first day in Charleville.
"These combined movements practically commenced on Sunday, September 6, at sunrise; and on that day it may be said that a great battle opened on a front extending from Ermenonville, which was just in front of the left flank of the Sixth French Army, through Lizy on the Marne, Maupertuis, which was about the British center, Courtaçon, which was the left of the Fifth French Army, to Esternay and Charleville, the left of the Ninth Army under General Foch, and so along the front of the Ninth, Fourth, and Third French Armies to a point north of the fortress of Verdun."
Before the light had gone they had reached the first crest and drew up for a moment at a movement of his hand. Looking back to Charleville, he said, "See where the river winds. The railway crosses it three times. Can we see from here if the bridges are all down?" And he stood up and, steadying himself upon her shoulder, peered down at Charleville, to where man lived in the valleys.
On Monday, August 24, the town of Charleville was evacuated, most of its civilians were sent away to join the wanderers who had had to leave their homes, and the French troops took up magnificent positions commanding the town and the three bridges dividing it from Mezieres.
A French family servant and an old gardener had been left in the villa, but for the few meals which we took there two of the Emperor's body huntsmen had been assigned, and they brought with them some of the Emperor's silver and china. The Emperor had been occupying a large villa in the town of Charleville until a few days before our arrival.
But the good folk of Kilfinane eye us terribly askant, or, to be more literally exact, do not eye us at all; at least, their eyes betray "no speculation." Had I driven in from Charleville alone I might have gossipped with all the idlers of the village, but now that I am walking with a "Boycotted" person I seem to have become invisible.
It's a path I know, shooting hares. Soon I shall be back again. Brussels one week; then Paris; then here again. I'll see what builders can be spared from the Paris factories. They can walk out here from Charleville. Ten miles, that's nothing! Then we'll get the stone cut ready in the quarries. I won't take up that hard mountain life any more.
