Yardhope is a knight's feu, though I have never taken up the knighthood; and the Percys know that I should fight just as stoutly, as John Forster, as if I wore knightly armour; but though the lands are wide they are poor, while yours are fertile, lying down by the river. Moreover, Coquetdale is more liable to Scotch incursions than Reddesdale, as the road into Scotland runs along it.
A feu de joie accompanied by a salute of twenty-one guns was then fired, and after this the Guides, taking the place of honour at the head of the line, marched past the flag. Short breathing space, and little of the rest of peace awaited the Guides on their return from Delhi. Within two months they were again taking the field, under Sir Sidney Cotton, against the Hindustani fanatics of Sittana.
Then came a rattling feu de joie with shouts of 'Long live the King! and 'Long live our seigneur! This over, the seigneur invited the whole gathering to refreshments indoors. Brandy and cakes disappeared with great celerity before appetites whetted by an hour's exercise in the clear spring air. They drank to the seigneur's health, and to the health of all his kin.
As she moved the lamp, the reflection on the trees moved also. He began to laugh. "The feu bellanger, forsooth. How old Pierre would have smiled if he had beheld him taking off his coat. But the ghost, that was what puzzled him." The ghost came bounding over the wicket and passed by him. It was a white dog. This adventure had taught him a great lesson.
"You are bound to me," he said, "you promised before, you know, and the party was but put off. I hold you to it; you are my partenaire, and I am yours, you can't deny that." "No you are not my partenaire," she firmly said; then added lightly, "Feu mon partenaire, you are dead and buried as my partner at that dance."
The heavy booming of the great guns, the bright flash each time they fired, and the shells with their lighted fusees rushing through the air, and bursting over the Prussian lines, realised what the French call a "feu d'enfer." At about three o'clock the firing slackened, and I went home, but at four it recommenced.
Soon as the solemn rite was performed, the governor ordered a `feu de joie'. Instantly at the welcome word, "handle arms", the eager warriors struck their fire-locks, loud ringing through all their ranks; and presenting their pieces, rent the air with fierce platoons; while the deep-throated cannon like surly bull-dogs, rolled their louder thunders along the field; then madly bounding back on their rattling wheels, they told to fancy's ear, "Freedom's sons are we, and d n the villains that would make us slaves!"
I!" Then picking up his brush again, he added, "But the world needs its little men as well as its great ones at any rate, the little ones need their pot au feu; so to work again. Allons, ma petite, your head a little more this way."
And the honest drover, in his warmth, endorsed this moral sentiment by firing a perfect feu de joi at the fireplace. "I think you're altogether right, friend," said Mr. Wilson; "and this boy described here is a fine fellow no mistake about that. He worked for me some half-dozen years in my bagging factory, and he was my best hand, sir.
To me she seems mysterious and changing, and coloured, like the Northern Lights." "She is mysterious and changing and beautiful, but it is not the lights of the North and of Heaven. She is the feu follet, the will-o'-the-wisp that hovers over what is rotten, and dead. Send her away, my son; send her away. Oh, she has left her trail of blood and hatred and malice in my parish, I know.
