Very respectfully, NIKOLAS ROKOFF. Tarzan permitted a grim smile to play about his lips for a moment, then he promptly dropped the matter from his mind, and went to bed. In a nearby cabin the Countess de Coude was speaking to her husband. "Why so grave, my dear Raoul?" she asked. "You have been as glum as could be all evening. What worries you?" "Olga, Nikolas is on board. Did you know it?"
Such were the offers, made in the name of the King, to General Pichegru. I added that the Prince de Coude desired that he would proclaim the King in the camps, surrender the city of Huningen to him, and join him for the purpose of marching on Paris.
You must see that it is placed in his hands at once," and he dropped a piece of silver into the willing hand of the servant. Then he returned to his quarters. A moment later De Coude was apologizing to his host as he tore open the envelope. What he read left his face white and his hand trembling.
When he had gone she let her eyes wander slyly to the figure of a tall young man stretched lazily in a chair not far distant. "MAGNIFIQUE!" she breathed once more. The Countess Olga de Coude was twenty. Her husband forty.
Let us go out and drink to the very good health of Monsieur Tarzan in some of old Plancon's unparalleled absinth; not forgetting that the Count de Coude is one of the best swordsmen in Paris, and by far the best shot in all France." When Tarzan reached Olga's, Jacques was awaiting him at the entrance. "This way, Monsieur," he said, and led the way up the broad, marble staircase.
They were designed to provide materials for an atlas on the scale of Beer and Mädler's, of which some beautiful specimen-plates have been issued. At Paris, in 1894, with the aid of a large "equatoreal coudé," a work of similar character was set on foot by MM. Loewy and Puiseux.
The third meter is the eight-syllable line with four accents, the lines riming in couplets, as in the "Boke of the Duchesse": Thereto she coude so wel pleye, Whan that hir liste, that I dar seye That she was lyk to torche bright, That every man may take-of light Ynough, and hit hath never the lesse.
And her reply, though apparently most irrelevant, was truly feminine. "Is Olga de Coude very beautiful?" she asked. And Tarzan laughed and kissed her again. "Not one-tenth so beautiful as you, dear," he said. She gave a contented little sigh, and let her head rest against his shoulder. He knew that he was forgiven.
While Monsieur Flaubert spoke Tarzan selected a cigarette from his case, and lighted it. De Coude was the personification of coolness was he not the best shot in France? Presently Monsieur Flaubert nodded to D'Arnot, and each man placed his principal in position. "Are you quite ready, gentlemen?" asked Monsieur Flaubert. "Quite," replied De Coude. Tarzan nodded. Monsieur Flaubert gave the signal.
Embrouded was he, as it were a mede, All ful of freshe floures, white and rede; Singing he was, or floyting alle the day, He was as freshe as is the moneth of May. Short was his goune, with sleves long and wide, Wel coude he sitte on hors, and fayre ride, He coude songes make, and wel endite, Juste and eke dance, and wel pourtraie and write.
