We turn S. by the Rue Bonaparte, and soon find the entrance, on the R., to the first courtyard, in which we note, on our R., the fine Portal of the Château of Anet, built for Diana of Poitiers by Delorme and Goujon : opposite the entrance, giving access to the second courtyard, is placed a façade, transitional in style, from the Château of Gaillon.
Delorme sat him down and wrote to Lieutenant the Honourable Reginald Montague Despencer, Adjutant of the Queen's Greys: He'll be serious about it if you speak to him about it and I am writing to him direct. To this chap he is to give it. Be good to your poor 'rankers, Monty, I know one damned hard case among them. No fault of his, poor chap. I could say a lot surprise you but I mustn't.
Delorme would go to the door, shade her eyes with her hand, and look keenly up the mountain slopes, with their wilderness of pines. Once she saw a faint, blue puff of smoke, and her quick ear caught the sharp crack of a far-off rifle. Then all was silent for hours.

At this sight, touched to the depths of his heart, Henri knelt before Valentine, and carried her hand to his lips.
Sergeant Delorme spoke of the sudden fierce about-face at the Marne, of the irresistible onslaught of men whose homes had been invaded, whose children had been murdered, whose women had been enslaved, of a ruthless fighting, swift and deadly, and lastly of a bayonet charge by his own division, running down upon superior numbers, engaging them in hand-to-hand conflict, malignant and fatal, routing them over a field of blood and death.
"I rely on you, Ormonde, "Your ashamed grateful friend, Second Lieutenant Delorme rang the bell. "Bradshaw," he said, as his soldier-servant appeared. "And get me a telegraph form." "Yussir," said Private Billings, and marched to the Mess ante-room purposefully, with hope in his heart that Mr.
On an open register in the reception-room were inscribed the names of all those persons who had called to express their interest in Mademoiselle de Vermont: Constantin Lenaieff, the Lisieux, the Nointels, Edmond Delorme, the Baron de Samoreau, and others.
