"I beg your parding, ma'am," said the colonel, raising his hat politely with one hand, while he reopened the coach-door with the other, "but we're a-takin' up a collection fur some very deservin' object. We wuz a-goin' to make the gentlemen fork over the hull amount, but ez they hain't got enough, we'll hev to bother you." The old lady trembled, and felt for her pocketbook, and raised her vail.
Here the actor fell into a reverie; and Percy, moving nearer to the coach-door, glanced at the damsel, who returned the look with a laugh which, though coquettish, was too low and musical to be called cold. "So that gentleman, so free and easy in his manners, is not your husband?" "Heaven forbid! Do you think I should be so gay if he were? But, pooh! what can you know of married life?
And Eustace, my own dear brother, was at the coach-door to meet us and hand me out. I passed from his arms to those of my mother, and then to my sister's. Whatever might come and go, I could not but feel that there was an indefinable bliss and bien-etre in their very presence! It was home coming home more true content and rest than I had felt since that fatal day at Nancy.
The king rose from his lair among the fern, the Admiral stood forward, all heads were bared, and from the coach-door alighted the young Queen; no longer pale, subdued, and indifferent, but with a face shining with girlish delight, as she held out her hand to the Admiral. 'Ah! This is well, this is beautiful, she exclaimed; 'it is like our happy chases in the Tyrol.
Then to see that child and the Major both wrapped up getting down to warm their feet and going stamping about and having glasses of ale out of the paper matchboxes on the chimney-piece is to see the Major enjoying it fully as much as the child I am very sure, and it's equal to any play when Coachee opens the coach-door to look in at me inside and say "Wery 'past that 'tage. 'Prightened old lady?"
"No, no," laughed M. Beaucaire, somewhat unsteadily, as he stood, swaying a little, with one hand on the coach-door, the other pressed hard on his side, "he only oversee'; he is jus' a little bashful, sometime'. He is a great man, but he don' want all the glory!"
So saying, Adrienne left the room precipitately with the physician. One of the servants called for M. Baleinier's carriage. Assisted by the doctor, Adrienne mounted the step, without perceiving that he said something in a low whisper to the footman that opened the coach-door.
He alighted, and shut the coach-door, leaving the corpse as naked as it came into the world. The coachman, having waited a long time, inquired in vain at the house for the young man and his sister; no one had any knowledge of her, him, or the deceased.
When it gathered its wits the coach-door had shut and the horses were starting. Then her audacity was understood. "She is getting away!" was the cry, and the multitude rushed upon her. "Seize the horses!" they shouted, and dashed at the bits and reins. The black driver gave the word to his beasts, and with his coach whip lashed the faces of those who sprung forward.
"Methinks Queen Mab upon your cheek Doth blend the tints of cream and rose. And lends the pearls which deck her hat And rubies too from off her gown, To be your own fit ornament." Before the Hôtel des Messageries, a young girl, modestly dressed, was waiting for the diligence, with an old band-box in her hand. Marcel, who had also put his head out of the coach-door, looked at her with surprise.
