It is quite natural that Mrs Ferriers should wish to give you some little remembrance as you were the means of restoring a valuable heirloom. It is a good stone. You must be careful not to lose it." "Is it valuable, Aunt Maria worth a lot of money?" "It is a pretty ornament, my dear. Do not look a gift horse in the mouth."
"It is as much as my own life is worth to be seen talking with you. There is a warrant against you from the Holy Four for assisting the Ferriers away." "I don't fear them, or their warrant," Hope said, earnestly. "You must know something of this matter, Cowper. I conjure you by everything you hold dear to answer a few questions. We have always been friends.
"Here's the consolation: my father will be obliged to turn his corbeille into my trousseau when I am married!" "What's a trousseau?" "Goose! It's a bride's wardrobe, I knew he had something in this cabinet, but he never left the key in the door until to-day. He was so completely upset when the De Ferriers came into Paris!" "Are they in Paris?" "Yes, at their own hotel.
An inverted pine tree hung over the inn door, and dinner was laid for us in its best room, where host and hostess served the marquise and the young marquis almost on their knees. When we passed out at the other end of the village, Eagle showed me a square-towered church. "The De Ferriers are buried there excepting my father. I shall put a tablet in the wall for Cousin Philippe.
Bellenger said, straightening up in his place like a bear rising from all fours. "That is the boy your De Ferriers saw in London." I remembered the boy Madame Tank had told about. Whether myself or this less fortunate creature was the boy, my heart went very pitiful toward him. Madame de Ferrier stooped and examined, him; he made a juicy noise of delight with his mouth.
Before I left Fort Stephenson, I wrote a letter to Count de Chaumont, telling him about Paul's death and asking for news of the De Ferriers. The answer I begged him to send to Sandusky, which the British now despaired of taking. But although Skenedonk made a long journey for it twice during the half year, I got no answer. The dangerous work of the next few months became like a long debauch.
"My family may not be unknown to his royal highness the Duke of Orleans. We are De Ferriers of Mont-Louis; emigrés now, like many others." "Madame, I knew your family well. They were loyal to their king." "My father died here in America. Before we sailed we saw this man in London." "And with him " "A boy." "Do you remember the boy well?" "I remember him perfectly."
Philippe died in the farm-house of one of our peasants, and the new masters could not refuse him burial in the church where De Ferriers have lain for hundreds of years. He was more fortunate than my father." This interview with Madame de Ferrier in which I cut so poor a figure, singularly influenced me. It made me restless, as if something had entered my blood.
An accompanying card bore the inscription, "A small expression of gratitude from Mrs Eustace Ferriers"; but even this proof was hardly sufficient to convince Darsie that such splendour was really for her own possession. "Aunt Maria! Can she mean it? Is it really to keep?" "Certainly, my dear. Why not?
I thought as I couldn't find a treasure I'd have a little joke on my own account, and after all I found the biggest treasure of all, Noreen! how much money were those things worth?" "Oh, my dear, don't ask me! Mother's pearls alone are worth three thousand, and that's nothing to the rest. Mrs Ferriers' rubies are the most valuable, I believe.
