"I beg your pardon for having been rude," she said to him sulkily, holding out her hand, which was as cold as ice. "But it is I," he murmured, touching his lips to her fingers and feeling her quiver as he did so. "It is that we both have what you English call bad tempers, pas?" "You must have been very bad this time, papa," commented Théo, closing the cage door on le Conquérant and joining them.
Colonel McDonald describes all that side of Turkey as going au devant du conquérant. Such has been the wretchedness of their government. Worthing, November 18, 1829.
Intending, therefore, to fix himself on the inner bow of the GUERRIER, he kept as near the edge of the bank as the depth of water would admit; but his anchor hung, and having opened his fire he drifted to the second ship, the CONQUERANT, before it was clear; then anchored by the stern inside of her, and in ten minutes shot away her mast.
It is curious," she added, putting her plate on his and carrying them to a distant table, "what an interest ces Anglais take in le Conquérant. As an enemy, one who conquered their country, one would think they would dislike his memory, but they do not. Very generous of them, I always think."
The captains of his Majesty's ships to take charge of the prizes as under: Orion to take charge of Le Souverain Peuple. Minotaur do. Aquilon. Defence do. Franklin. Audacious do. Conquérant. Theseus do. Tonnant. To the captains of above-mentioned ships.
He calls our famous monarch "Louis le Grand: 1, l'invincible; 2, le sage; 3, le conquerant; 4, la merveille de son siecle; 5, la terreur de ses ennemis; 6, l'amour de ses peuples; 7, l'arbitre de la paix et de la guerre; 8, l'admiration de l'univers; 9, et digne d'en etre le maitre; 10, le modele d'un heros acheve; 11, digne de l'immortalite, et de la veneration de tous les siecles!"
The Bellerophon sails so well that Darby can take very good care of Conquérant; and Aquilon seems also to sail remarkably well. Remember me kindly to all my good friends with you. Orion, at sea, 1st September.
The fire was then directed on Le Peuple Souverain, until she cut and dropped out of the line, totally dismasted and silenced. A Audacious. 1 Guerrier. B Bellerophon. 2 Conquérant. D Defence. 4 Aquilon. E Majestic. 5 Peuple Souverain. F Alexander. 6 Franklin. G Goliath. 7 L'Orient. L Leander. 8 Tonnant. M Minotaur. 9 Heureux. O Orion. 10 Mercure. S Swiftsure. 11 Guillaume Tell.
"I have only two French officers on board; one was second captain of the Tonnant; they are both in the ward-room, and I occasionally invite them to my table. Of the six prizes four are fine ships, particularly the Franklin and Spartiate: the Souverain and Conquérant are both very old ships; Le Tonnant and L'Aquilon were built within these few years only. Both the former are quite new.
Never mind, he will not think of it again, and neither must you." Brigit was silent, and stood looking at le Conquérant. She had been impolite, and Joyselle's discourtesy was, after all, more like a bit of schoolboy malice than the deliberate insult of a grown man. And his dignified rebuke to her had set her at once on the plane of a naughty child. Were they both grown up, or both children?
