When Flora came down from the dressing-room she found Clara already in the carriage, and Kerr mounting guard in the hall. As he handed her in, Clara leaned forward. "Where is Mr. Cressy?" she inquired. "He sent his apologies," Kerr explained. "He is not able to get away just now." Clara could not control a look of astonishment.
You see that I'm pretty well posted, Miss Cressy." "You alarm me," said Cressy sweetly. "But I reckon he HAD given up." "He was in the running that night at the ball. Looked half savage while I was dancing with you. Wanted to eat me." "Poor Seth! And he used to be SO particular in his food," said the witty Cressy. Mr. Stacey was convulsed. "And there's Mr. Dabney Uncle Ben," he continued, "eh?
The chevalier de Cressy, forgetful of his being your guest, and of respecting the honor of all beneath your roof, has dared to carry on a base intrigue with my woman, in whose apartment you will find him at this very minute. A conduct so profligate and insulting fills me with an indignation which I think that you, sir, after what you have heard, cannot but partake."
Among the long list of paintings executed by order of the king were "The Death of Chevalier Bayard;" "Edward III. Embracing his Son on the Field of Battle at Cressy;" "The Installation of the Order of the Garter;" "The Black Prince Receiving the King of France and his Son Prisoners at Poictiers," and "Queen Philippa Interceding with Edward for the Burgesses of Calais."
One of my ancestors fought at Agincourt, and another with the Black Prince at Cressy and Poitiers; while on your side his blood is noble and, as we know, the nobles of France are second to none in bravery. "Before I met you I had thoughts of going out, myself, to fight among the English bands who have engaged on the side of the Hollanders.
Harrie being eliminated, the fat old hypocrite was trimming her sails with hands hardened from long experience. Her embraces and gratitude were a veer in a new direction. In a measure I was to be held to account for the present situation; in a sense to be social sponsor for Mrs. Thomas Cressy.
"People don't tell me what I should and should not do. They do what I tell 'em." "I don't," said Philip Lambert in much the same tone he had once said to Carlotta, "You can't have this." "I am sorry, Mr. Cressy. I don't want to be rude, or unkind or obstinate; but there are some things no man can decide for me. And there are some things I won't do even to win Carlotta."
The Mussulmans availed themselves of the use of cannon in the defence of their city; and this is the first time that the employment of that description of ordnance is spoken of in history. We are told that it was used at the battle of Cressy by the English; but that event did not take place until four years after the date of the present siege.
It was a happy inspiration of his own that enabled him to present himself that morning in the twin functions of a victorious Mercury and Apollo. McKinstry had to be summoned from an adjacent meadow, while Cressy, in the mean time, undertook to entertain the gallant stranger. This was easily done. She understood their passion if she could not accept it.
Why hadn't that stubborn boy surrendered? For that matter why didn't Carlotta surrender? This was a new idea to Harrison Cressy. All the time he had been talking to Philip Lambert he had been seeing Carlotta only in relation to Crest House and the Beacon Street mansion. But just now he had been recalling her mother under very different associations.
