But Madame's pure faith, the younger woman's tenderness how was I to face these? I cursed the Cardinal would he had stayed at Luchon. I cursed the English fool who had brought me to this, I cursed the years of plenty and scarceness, and the Quartier Marais, and Zaton's, where I had lived like a pig, and A touch fell on my arm. I turned. It was Clon.
His eyes were staring, his hair waved, his cheeks were flabby with dismay, He breathed as if he had been running. 'What is it? Mademoiselle cried, while he was still some way off. 'Speak, man. My sister? Is she 'Clon, he gasped. The name changed her to stone. 'Clon? What of him? she muttered. 'In the village! Louis panted, his tongue stuttering with terror. 'They are flogging him.
The wood was quiet, but the frogs were beginning to croak in the pool, and their persistent chorus reminded me of the night when I had come to the house-door, hurt and worn out, and Clon had admitted me, and she had stood under the gallery in the hall. Things had looked dark then. I had seen but a very little way ahead then. Now all was plain.
'Clon made you understand, then? the young woman said kindly, as I took my seat. 'Yes, Mademoiselle, I answered. On that I saw the two smile at one another, and I added: 'He is a strange creature. I wonder that you can bear to have him near you. 'Poor man! You do not know his story? Madame said. 'I have heard something of it, I answered. 'Louis told me.
Clon took one pistol, and gave it to the shock-headed man. 'The other! the innkeeper said impatiently. But Clon shook his head with a grim smile, and pointed to the arquebuss. By a sudden movement, the landlord snatched the pistol, and averted Clon's vengeance by placing both it and the gun in the shock-headed man's hands. 'There! he said, addressing the latter, 'now can you do?
As Ferchar granted certain lands at Clon in Ross about the year 1224 to Freskin's father Walter de Moravia of Duffus without pecuniary or other valuable consideration, it has been concluded, probably correctly, that this grant was made on the occasion of the marriage of Walter to Ferchar's daughter Euphamia; and Freskin, their heir, was born in or after 1225, and had become dominus de Duffus by 1248 on his father's death.
It was possible for the eye to follow the track all the way to it, through rough stones and brushwood; and though Clon climbed feebly, and with many groans, two minutes saw us step on to it. It did not prove to be, in fact, the perilous place it looked at a distance.
