Shortly afterwards, we left for the Teche region, where lands had been granted to us by the government. We wended our way, to our destined homes, through dismal swamps, through bayous without number and across lakes until we reached Portage Sauvage, at Fausse Pointe.
There are likewise the works of DESTOUCHES, who has written Le Glorieux, Le Dissipateur, and La Fausse Agnes, which are always played with applause.
The second prize for tragedy was awarded me, to the great dissatisfaction of the public, as it was thought that I ought to have had the first prize. And yet it was only just that I should have the second, on account of my age and the short time I had been studying. I had a first accessit or comedy in La fausse Agnes. I felt, therefore, that I had the right to refuse.
It's only a fausse jeunesse after all, but still very effective. The gap between the woman of the photograph and the woman of 18A Berkeley Square is as the gulf between Dives and Lazarus. I shouldn't have loved her then. But perhaps perhaps a man might have thought he did. I mean in the real way of a man perhaps." Craven did not inquire what Miss Van Tuyn meant exactly by that.
A gentleman who was called after a well-known cheese yes, Chester was his name. Then this Mr. Chester's departure from Lacville had been a fausse sortie a ruse to get rid of the Comte de Virieu, who was also in love with the lovely young English widow? Ah! Ah! M. Polperro felt very much amused. Never had he heard of anything so droll!
The fausse braye itself was dark, and the darker for a blaze of light behind it. Our stormers had carried it and swept the defenders back into the true breach beside the tower. Some stray bullets splashed among us as we toppled down the ditch and mounted the scarp shots fired from Heaven knows where, but probably from some French retreating along the top of the fausse braye.
"Suppose I retain Fausse Rivière," he said to himself, as if he had not said it many times before. Then he saw memoranda that were not on any paper before him such a mortgage to be met on such a date; so much from Fausse Rivière Plantation account retained to protect that mortgage from foreclosure; such another to be met on such a date so much more of same account to protect it.
Then someone shouted to us to advance at the double, and I ran blowing upon my bugle, for now the calls were sounding all about me. I had no thought of death in all this roar the crowd seemed to close around and shut that out until we came to the edge of the counterscarp facing the fausse braye: and by that time the worst of the danger had passed.
Halting the command on the Fordoche, I rode out to the estate of an acquaintance on Fausse Rivière, whence the noise of battle at Port Hudson could be heard.
All our friends were there except Tréville de Saint Julien, and Madame Tonton gave her smiles and sweet looks to Neville, who never left her a moment. Oh, how I regretted that my father was not with us! He had gone to Opelousas. He had bought several plantations in St. Martin parish, and in a region called Fausse Pointe, and in another known as the Côte Gelée.
