It is more ancient than your illustrious friend, the barber-surgeon; it was illustrious before the house, ay, or the pagoda of Kew was in existence." And he went on to describe how Florac by the demise of his kinsman, was now actually Prince de Moncontour, though he did not choose to assume that title.
"Parbleu, c'est ca," cries Florac, "he speaks like a book the romancier!" I confess, for my part, I thought that a good woman might plead with him, and touch that manly not disloyal heart now trembling on the awful balance between evil and good. "Allons! let us make to come the drague!" cries Florac. "Jack, thou returnest with us, my friend!
"My father wants me to go and see James and Madame de Florac," says Clive, as they stride down the street to the Toledo. J. J. puts his arm through his companion's, which is deep the pocket of his velvet paletot. "You must not go home till you hear it is over, Clive," whispers J. J. "Of course not, old boy," says the other, blowing tobacco out of his shaking head.
Her demeanour then, nay, her looks and ways at other times; a certain gracious sadness, a sympathy with all grief, and pity for all pain; a gentle heart, yearning towards all children; and, for her own especially, feeling a love that was almost an anguish: in the affairs of the common world only a dignified acquiescence, as if her place was not in it, and her thoughts were in her Home elsewhere; these qualities, which we had seen exemplified in another life, Laura and her husband watched in Madame de Florac, and we loved her because she was like our mother.
Between two such women as Madame de Florac and Lady Kew, of course there could be little liking or sympathy. Religion, love, duty, the family, were the French lady's constant occupation, duty and the family, perhaps, Lady Kew's aim too, only the notions of duty were different in either person.

Bring him to Paris to make the court to my little Antoinette: bring him to Paris to his good friend, Comtesse de Florac."
Pokey's carriage in the court, and her footmen smoking cigars there; a tottering old man with feeble legs, as old as old Count de Florac, seemed to be the only domestic who waited on the family below. "Madame de Florac and my father talked about my profession. The Countess said it was a belle carriere. The Colonel said it was better than the army. 'Ah oui, monsieur, says she very sadly.
Captain Poul was hastening with his troops to Florac when, having been informed of the direction in which Seguier and his band had gone, he turned aside at Barre, and after about an hour's march eastward, he came up with them at Font-Morte.
"When I went home last night, after Madame de Florac had been talking to us about Orme's India, I took the volumes from the bookcase and found this paper. It is in my grandmother's Mrs. Newcome's handwriting; I know it quite well, it is dated on the very day of her death. She had been writing and reading in her study on that very night; I have often heard papa speak of the circumstance.
Be very civil to Madame de Florac; she sees some of the old legitimists, and you know I am brouillee with that party of late years." "There is the Marquis de Montluc, who has a large fortune for France," said Ethel, gravely; "he has a humpback, but he is very spiritual.
