"I only hope, Uncle Fancourt, that you will soon be able to get me afloat again, though I am not tired of home yet." "I shall be able to fulfil your wishes, for the Admiralty have appointed me to the command of the Triton, 38-gun frigate, ordered to be fitted out with all despatch at Portsmouth. Before many weeks are over she will, I hope, be ready for sea.
Had he failed? For one instant that possibility rose before as a hope the hope that the Scarlet Pimpernel had been warned by Sir Andrew, and that Chauvelin's trap had failed to catch his bird; but that hope soon gave way to fear. Had he failed? But then Armand! Lord Fancourt had given up talking since he found that he had no listener.
The promised marriage was a matter for the man's mirth a week later. They came across three young artists from Paris Bagshot, Fancourt, and another who camped one night beside them. It was then she fully realised the deep shame of her position. The next night she ran away and joined a travelling menagerie. The rest he knew.
He has told me such wonderful things he's so interesting." There was a certain shock for Paul Overt in the knowledge that the fine genius they were talking of had been reduced to so explicit a confession and had made it, in his misery, to the first comer; for though Miss Fancourt was charming what was she after all but an immature girl encountered at a country-house?
This was said sufficiently loud; and after that, Meyerbeer could not ask Fancourt, so he departed with Gaston, who courteously dismissed him, to his astonishment and regret, for he had determined to visit the menagerie with his quarry. Gaston went to his apartments, and cheerily summoned Jacques. "Now, little man, for a holiday!
As he took his course through the Sunday solitude of Manchester Square, swinging his stick and with a good deal of emotion fermenting in his soul, it appeared to him he was living in a world strangely magnanimous. Miss Fancourt had told him it was possible she should be away, and that her father should be, on the following Sunday, but that she had the hope of a visit from him in the other event.
The girl smiled at him and then laughed at her father. The General turned away and his daughter spoke "Isn't papa delightful?" "He is indeed, Miss Fancourt." "As if I read you because I read 'everything'!" "Oh I don't mean for saying that," said Paul Overt. "I liked him from the moment he began to be kind to me. Then he promised me this privilege." "It isn't for you he means it it's for me.
"I gave it but a quarter of an hour." "A quarter of an hour's immense, but I don't understand where you put it in. In the drawing-room after dinner you weren't reading you were talking to Miss Fancourt." "It comes to the same thing, because we talked about 'Ginistrella. She described it to me she lent me her copy." "Lent it to you?" "She travels with it." "It's incredible," Paul blushed.
Exclamations of delight and satisfaction burst from the lips of all the party on hearing this announcement. "I only wish that I had been there," exclaimed Harry, and Captain Fancourt looked as if he wished the same. "You might have been among those who lost their lives," observed Miss Pemberton; "we would rather have you safe on shore." "We must take our chance with others," said Harry.
At the end of a minute he became aware of Miss Fancourt and her companion in the distance; whereupon, laying down his miniature, he approached them with the same procrastinating air, his hands in his pockets and his eyes turned, right and left, to the pictures.
