I beg you will let the bearer of this, Captain la Colombe, know that I recommend him to your excellency for the commission of major. Be so kind, my dear general, as to present my best respects to your lady and the gentlemen of your family. I hope you will quietly enjoy the pleasure of being with Mrs.
Who's Sir Charles Colombe, Sir Randal?" she asked. "Permanent Under Secretary," he answered. "I suppose Broadfoot is making trouble again." And he looked at her as if he were thinking of Amaryllis rather than of permanent or political chiefs of Home Affairs. "This is Friday, you know," he said at last.
Having once made her election, Colombe can throw away the world as gaily as in some girlish frolic she might toss aside a rose. The loyalty of men, their supreme devotion and their test may, as with women, spring from the passion of love; but other tests than this are often proposed to them.
"M. Hugo was at the Opera on the night the sentence of the Court of Peers, condemning Barbes to death, was published.

He is adroit, tenacious, and above all patient in the extreme the very man that was wanted.
It is perhaps more necessary to point out this difference, as the Stock Dove frequently goes by the name of the Wood Pigeon; indeed Dresser has adopted this name for it, the Wood Pigeon being called the Ring Dove, as is very frequently the case. TURTLE DOVE. Turtur vulgaris, Eyton. French, "Colombe tourterelle."
The tomb, which is one of the masterpieces of that good artist, Michel Colombe, was brought here from the old Église des Carmes which was pillaged and burned during the Revolution. Although we reached Angers only in time for a very late dinner, we were inclined to wander again to-night.
But France, from various motives, did not shew herself disposed to snatch Canada from the English. Fishkill, 4th October, 1778. MY DEAR MARQUIS, I have had the pleasure of receiving, by the hands of Monsieur de la Colombe, your favour of the 28th ultimo, accompanied by one of the 24th, which he overtook somewhere on the road.
Whereupon Colombe de Gaillefontaine, another beautiful blonde, with a white skin, dressed to the neck in blue damask, ventured a timid remark which she addressed to Fleur-de-Lys, in the hope that the handsome captain would reply to it, "My dear Gondelaurier, have you seen the tapestries of the Hotel de la Roche-Guyon?"
