Madame Alixe Delavigne was only a gracious memory to the sympathetic men passengers who hastened on to London via Mont Cenis, but the chattering gossips of the Rue Berlioz noted, with an eager Gallic curiosity, the return of the mysterious occupant of No. 9.
"Where is my brother?" "Gone away in a barouche and pair. Devil take me if I understand it." And the Captain proceeded to give a confused account of what had passed. "My brother! my brother! they have torn thee from me, then;" cried Philip, and he fell to the earth insensible. "Vous me rendrez mon frere!" CASIMER DELAVIGNE: Les Enfans d'Edouard.
"Probably not, for friend Hugh was ever apter in squeezing the nimble rupee than in chanting sonnets to his mistress's eyebrow. How the devil did he ever catch a wife, such as Valerie Delavigne must have been? Either a case of purchase or starvation, I'll warrant!" Ram Lal Singh was growing dubious as to the perfect sweep of his hungry talons over Madame Louison's future expenditures.
A momentous, a dangerous one; for in the depths of the Tropical Gardens of Rozel, the passionate hearted Alixe Delavigne was hidden, waiting this very morning to clasp again the beautiful orphan to a bosom throbbing in wildest love.
In 1815 Casimir Delavigne wrote, as a counterblast to the double invasion that France had just undergone, his well known Messeniennes to the honour of the French heroine. These poems had a great success, the second being the most admired; but they are now forgotten. Two other dramatic poets followed in Delavigne's steps: these were d'Avrigni and Soumet.
"It was two months later for I would not leave her side, even Pierre Troubetskoi could not see her passing away, for it was a mysterious malady when a sudden alarm brought me to my senses. My secret society work was done, and yet I lingered there, at the very steps of the scaffold. Alixe Delavigne burst into my room at midnight. "'Hasten! she cried.
"Two years later, I learned from a fellow refugee that Pierre Troubetskoi had been killed by accident in a great forest battle. And to Alixe Delavigne, all the wealth which would have been Valerie's was left by the lion-hearted man who awoke too late to the early doom of his beloved.
"A romantic gratitude to a retired British officer, who had once befriended the Prince's august father, was the one impelling cause of a visit, in which the strictest retirement would be guarded by the dweller on the Roof of the World," etc., etc. So read out Madame Delavigne, closing with the remark that the "Moonshee had already visited the Royal Victoria Hotel at St.
And you go with him, at his urgent request." And that very evening at Calcutta, Alixe Delavigne would have laughed in triumph to know of Hugh Johnstone's strange eagerness to dispatch his amorous guest. For the lady in the safe haven of the great banker's home had just returned from a captivated Viceroy, who had instantly recalled Abercrornby by a dispatch to be "obeyed forthwith."
"No, sir, you have no right to show us crime without putting beside it a corrective without presenting to us a lesson." Vaucorbeil thought also that art ought to have an object to aim at the improvement of the masses. "Let us chant science, our discoveries, patriotism," and he broke into admiration of Casimir Delavigne. Madame Bordin praised the Marquis de Foudras.
