Breakfast was over, Macfarlane was in the saloon writing his journal, which he kept with great exactitude, and Duprez, who, on account of his wound, was considered something of an invalid, was seated in a lounge chair on deck, delightedly turning over a bundle of inflammatory French political journals received that morning.
Duprez was delighted to have the chance of amusing himself by harassing the Reverend Charles with open professions of utter atheism, and Macfarlane, who loved an argument more than he loved whiskey, looked forward to a sharp discussion presently concerning the superiority of John Knox, morally and physically, over Martin Luther.
After dinner there was a theatrical performance the Misanthrope, given for the first time with Louis XIV. dresses, acted by Perrier, Provost, Samson, Firmin, Menjaud, Monrose, and Regnier, with Mmes. Mars, Plessy, and Mante; and then one act of Robert le Diable, with Duprez, Levasseur, and Mile. Falcon and the ballet.
There was a very good chance that he should fall in with his brother somewhere on the trip, and that, at all costs, he was determined to avoid. For a minute or more he sat holding his canoe, calculating time and distances. At length he came to a resolve. He must visit the camp on the Big Horn, and he trusted his own ingenuity to avoid the meeting he dreaded. "All right, Duprez! bon jour."
"Because they are afraid!" said Duprez. "Because they have not the courage of their opinions! Because they dare not tell the truth!" "Upon my life, I believe you are right!" said Errington. "If there were a man bold enough to declare truths and denounce lies, I should imagine it quite possible that he might conquer the world, or, at any rate, make it afraid of him."
"I do not understand," she said, with a puzzled brow. "It is not possible that they should like him better because he is rich. He would be the same man without money as with it it makes no difference!" "Perhaps not to you," returned Duprez, with a smile; "but to many it would make an immense difference! Chere Mademoiselle, it is a grand thing to have plenty of money, believe me!"
Eleven years ago Duprez demolished Nourrit; to-day Nourrit would demolish Duprez. MARQUIS DE BOISSY. How cold it is on this staircase. COUNT PHILIPPE DE SEGUR. It was even colder at the Academy the other day. That poor Dupaty is a good man, but he made a bad speech. BARON FEUTRIER. I am trying to warm myself. What a frightful draught! It is enough to drive one away.
Duprez was a man slow of speech but quick to act, and by the time the bed had been arranged on the buckboard he had his horse between the shafts. "Now then, Duprez, give me a hand," said the doctor. "Certainment. Bon Dieu! Dat's de bon preechere! Not dead, heh?" "No," said the doctor, glancing sharply into the haggard face while he placed his fingers upon the pulse. "No. Now get on.
Macfarlane and Duprez had been rendered astonished and bashful by her excessive beauty.
I dwell apart from them as much as I can, I steep my mind and body in the joys of Nature, and the free fresh air, but often I feel that the old days of the heroes must have been best, when Gorm the Bold and the fierce Siegfried seized Paris, and stabled their horses in the chapel where Charlemagne lay buried!"
