Now they always celebrated this day as well as they could; and used to plant a tree, for one thing. Dard, well spurred by Jacintha, had got a little acacia; and they were all out in the Pleasaunce to plant it. Unhappily, they were a preposterous time making up their feminine minds where to have it set; so Dard turned rusty and said the park was the best place for it.
"The wind of the shot, you rascal!" roared Private Dard: "look here!" and he showed the blood running down his face. The shot had actually driven a splinter of bone out of the sutler into Dard's temple. "I am the unluckiest fellow in the army," remonstrated Dard: and he stamped in a circle.
But by and by they left Dard and strolled towards the other end of the park. Then did our astronomer fling down his tube, and come running out in hopes of intercepting them, and seeming to meet them by some strange fortuity. Hope whispered he should be blessed with a smile; perhaps a word even. So another minute and he was running up the road to Beaurepaire.
When Dard could eat no more, he proceeded to drink; and to talk in proportion. Riviere, lost in his own thoughts, attended to him as men of business do to a babbling brook; until suddenly from the mass of twaddle broke forth a magic word Beaurepaire; then the languid lover pricked up his ears and found Mr. Dard was abusing that noble family right and left.
The crew of the Kingston flung their best boat into the boiling Atlantic, but every exertion was vain the angry ocean soon made her its prey. The Albion went down with every human soul on board." On the Western Coast of Africa. By MADAME DARD, one of the Sufferers. In the year 1816, an expedition was fitted out by the French to go and resume possession of Senegal, which had been restored to them.
Here Jacintha put in a word with the quiet subdued meaning of her class. "I can't find that anybody ever saw the colonel dead." "They did not find him, because they did not look for him," said Sergeant La Croix. "God forgive you, sergeant!" said Dard, with some feeling. "Not look for OUR COLONEL! We turned over every body that lay there, full thirty there were, and you were one of them."
Dard cross-examined about a hundred invalided warriors, who did not even recognize the captain's name; but at last, by extraordinary luck, he actually did fall in with two, who told him strange news about Captain Dujardin. And so then Dard told Jacintha; and Jacintha soon had the men into the kitchen and told Rose.
I am always getting barked. Dogs of Prussians! they pick me out among a thousand. I shall have a headache all the afternoon, you see else." Some of our heads would never have ached again: but Dard had a good thick skull. Dard pulled out his spilikin savagely. "I'll wrap it up in paper for Jacintha," said he. "Then that will learn her what a poor soldier has to go through."
Every man must die; horses likewise, and dogs, and donkeys, when they come to the end of their troubles; but dogs and donkeys and chaps in blouses can't die gloriously; as Dard may, if he has any luck at all: so, from this hour, if there was twice as little of him, be proud of him, for from this time he is a part of France and her renown.
He saw her look this way and that, and presently Dard appeared, and she sent him with his axe to the fallen tree. Edouard watched him hacking away at it. Presently his heart gave a violent leap; for why? two ladies emerged from the Pleasaunce and walked across the park. They came up to Dard, and stood looking at the tree and Dard hacking it, and Edouard watched them greedily.
