And now I am much better in health again and am back in Paris and to-night Maurice, up from Deauville at last, is coming to dine with me. But what is the good of it all? I was awfully glad to see old Maurice again he was looking brown and less dilettante though his socks and tie and eyes matched as well as ever!
I'm boring you to extinction, and I don't want to do that, for I'm anxious that you should come here again and often. I should like to have you form the habit. What was it I had in mind to ask you about? Ah, yes! The journey to Dinard and Deauville. I am afraid it turned out to be fruitless or you would have let me know." "Entirely fruitless," said Ste. Marie.
We drove about a great deal the country at the back of Deauville, going away from the sea, is lovely very like England charming narrow roads with high banks and hedges on each side big trees with spreading branches meeting overhead stretches of green fields with cows grazing placidly and horses and colts gambolling about. It is a great grazing and breeding country.
At the edge of the road, mingling with the brambles, grew holly bushes, and here and there stood large dead trees whose branches traced zigzags upon the blue sky. Ordinarily, they rested in a field facing the ocean, with Deauville on their left, and Havre on their right.
The salon of the casino, at the height of the season, is said to show at once the most animated and diverting assemblage of Somebodies to be seen in the world. DEAUVILLE, separated only by the river Touques, is a place of greater pretension even than Trouville.
Lots of fellows have been upon the five days' leave lately, things are going better they jolly one, and I like to see them, but after they go I feel more of a rotten beast than ever. The only times I forget are when Maurice brings the fluffies to dine with me when they rush up to Paris from Deauville. They have all gone back to Deauville now.
We remained in town until the first days of August, then W. went to his Conseil-General in the Department of the Aisne, and I went down to Deauville. He joined me there, and we had a pleasant month bathing, driving, and seeing a great many people. We had taken Sir Joseph Oliffe's villa, one of the best in Deauville.
It was an anxious time for all on board the "Gazelle," for the tide would not serve to leave the harbor till seven o'clock the next morning, and Deauville was wildly riotous all night.
He had just been hearing from a friend of the very brilliant season at Deauville this year, and the streams of gold that flowed into the caisse of the management of the new hotel and casino.
A minute later the hangings at the door were pushed aside, and a lad about a year older than Gervaise appeared, and, bowing deeply to the knight, stood in a respectful attitude, awaiting his orders. "Deauville, take this youth, Gervaise Tresham to your room. He is appointed one of the pages of the grand master.
