The Barge was manned, and Caraccioli, with the Name of D'Aubigny, the first lieutenant, who was killed in the Engagement with the Winchelsea, and his Commission in his Pocket, went ashore with a Letter to the Governor, sign'd Fourbin, whose Character, for fear of the worst, was exactly counterfeited.
"Impossible! about what about whom?" "That Colonel D'Aubigny," said Lady Davenant. "I know all about it, and it was all nothing but nonsense. Did you look at her when the general read that paragraph this morning did you see that innocent countenance?" "I saw it, Helen, and thought as you did, but I have been so deceived so lately in countenance!" "Not by hers never." "Not by yours, Helen, never.
"What am I going to do? To tell a falsehood! That cannot be right; but in the circumstances yet this is Cecilia's own way of palliating the fault that her mother so fears in her that her mother trusted to me to guard her against; and now, already, even before Lady Davenant has left us, I am going to assist Cecilia in deceiving her husband, and on that very dangerous point Colonel D'Aubigny."
I perceived that there was something hard inside more than papers; and as I felt it, there came from it an uncommon perfume a particular perfume, like what I used to have once, at the time that time that I can never bear to think of, you know " "I know," said Helen, and in a low voice she added, "you mean about Colonel D'Aubigny."
Two years past a family of French folk D'Aubigny was their name had made a home in a meadow by that stream and built a house and a strong stockade, for they were in dangerous nearness to the hills, and had no neighbours within forty miles. They were gentlefolk of some substance, and had carved out of the wilderness a very pretty manor with orchards and flower gardens.
She had afterwards disassociated herself, more or less, from Conroy and McNeice; while Moyne had been trying for two days to surrender himself. The Prime Minister's ambassador could therefore go to Moyne House without loss of dignity. Clithering brought my nephew Godfrey with him. "Mr. D'Aubigny," he said, "is acting for the present as one of my private secretaries."
Consequently, he appointed Gilbert de Montpensier, of the house of Bourbon, viceroy; d'Aubigny, of the Scotch Stuart family, lieutenant in Calabria; Etienne de Vese, commander at Gaeta; and Don Juliano, Gabriel de Montfaucon, Guillaume de Villeneuve, George de Lilly, the bailiff of Vitry, and Graziano Guerra respectively governors of Sant' Angelo, Manfredonia, Trani, Catanzaro, Aquila, and Sulmone; then leaving behind in evidence of his claims the half of his Swiss, a party of his Gascons, eight hundred French lances, and about five hundred Italian men-at-arms, the last under the command of the prefect of Rome, Prospero and Fabrizio Colonna, and Antonio Savelli, he left Naples on the 20th of May at two o'clock in the afternoon, to traverse the whole of the Italian peninsula with the rest of his army, consisting of eight hundred French lances, two hundred gentlemen of his guard, one hundred Italian men-at-arms, three thousand Swiss infantry, one thousand French and one thousand Gascon.
"It's from our young friend," she explained, genially "the painter-boy Mr. D'Aubigny. It is to remind me of a promise he says I made that when I came to London he should paint my portrait. I don't think I promised anything of the kind but I suppose that is a detail. It's all my unfortunate hair. They must have gone by this time they were to go very early, weren't they?"
The general now exerted himself to occupy the guardsman in a conversation about promotion, and drew all observation from Helen. Yet not the slightest indication of having seen, heard, or understood, appeared in his countenance, not the least curiosity or interest about Colonel D'Aubigny.
The captain, Gonzalvo, sent word to them that if they would surrender their town he would, on his part, restore to them without ransom all prisoners and others of their party; and he had many of them, James de la Palisse, Stuart d'Aubigny, Gaspard de Coligny, Anthony de la Fayette, &c., all captains.
