I will work for you, I will indeed, papa willingly, happily." "When your work can give me such a home as Cotenoir a home that one word of yours would secure for me I will thank you." "If you will only wait, papa, if you will only have patience " "Patience! Wait! Do you know what you are talking about?
He communicated this design to his old crony, Francois Lenoble, one day when the Beaubocage family dined at Chateau Cotenoir. "I think of marrying my daughter," he said to his friend, when the ladies were safely out of hearing at the other end of the long dreary saloon. "Now thy son Gustave is a fine fellow brave, handsome, and of a good race.
That odour of the barracks which distinguished the sub-lieutenant Paul de Nerague became more odious after his marriage with the virtuous Madelon, when he was established niche, as he himself called it in very comfortable, though somewhat gruesome, apartments at Cotenoir. The virtuous Madelon was too stolid to weep for her husband.
No doubt Leah is a very good young woman; one has no complaint to make against her, except that she is not Rachel." This was not a hopeful manner of looking at things for the destined master of Cotenoir. M. Lenoble's letters to the anxious folks at Beaubocage became, about this time, somewhat brief and unsatisfactory.
When they had shown me everything of special interest in the pleasant old place, Clarice and Madelon ran off to dress for walking, in order to accompany us to Cotenoir, where we were to dine. It was quite a family party. Mademoiselle Lenoble was there, and papa. He arrived at the chateau while Gustave and I were paying our visit to the convent.

I think the very cowboy in the farmyard a broad-shouldered lad, with a good-natured mindless face, and prodigious wooden shoes like clumsy canoes even the cowboy knows that I am to be Madame Lenoble of Cotenoir. Cotenoir is the Windsor Castle of this district; Beaubocage is only Frogmore.
Happily for Gustave Lenoble, his daughters were amongst the brightest and the purest of those girl-graduates. They gave him no trouble, except when they asked him for a home. "It seems so dull and dreary at Cotenoir, papa," they said, "though you are always so kind. It doesn't seem like home. Beaubocage is more home-like.
I am sorry your description of Normandy has been so interesting, M. Lenoble." "Come and see Vevinord and Cotenoir, and you will judge for yourself. The town-hall of Vevinord is almost as fine as that of Louvain; and we have a church that belongs to the time of Dagobert."
Hawkehurst, with her health and spirits thoroughly re-established," said Dr. Jedd. "What is that you say about honeymoon tours?" cried Gustave Lenoble. "Hawkehurst and his wife will spend their honeymoon at Cotenoir; is it not, Diana?" Diana replied that it was to be, and must be so.
Poor invalid Clarice had been quite unable to superintend her household; and since her death Mademoiselle Cydalise had been too feeble of health to assume any authority in her nephew's establishment, even if the household of Cotenoir would have submitted to interference from Beaubocage, which in all likelihood they would not.
