Garnache's mind, actuated by very different motives, was engaged upon the same task, so much so that not a word heard he of what his supposed compatriot was whispering. Whence came this courier? Why had not that fool Fortunio asked him, so that Garnache might have overheard his answer? Was he from Paris and the Queen, or was he, perchance, from Italy and Florimond?
'If only they will send me back to Greystone, then shall I hear of thee, and thou hadst better take Florimond, poor hound, or the Sisters at York may put him to penance too! Henry Clifford was able to walk again, though still lame, when, in the early morning of Ascension Day, he and Anne St.
Florimond say." "And why didn't she marry him when she owed her fortune to him?" La Cibot asked quickly. "It is something for a little haberdasher, kept by an old man, to be a barrister's wife " "Why? " asked the portress, bringing Mme. Cibot out into the passage. "Why? You are going to see him, are you not, madame? Very well, when you are in his office you will know why."
She longed to hear their small talk again; she longed to have Rosa to herself, as in the old times; she longed for her father's caresses, for Madame Guirlande's brave cheerfulness, for the Signor's peppery outbursts, which she found very amusing; and sometimes she thought how pleasant it would be to hear Florimond say that her name was the prettiest in the world.
"From Italy?" "No, monsieur. I do not think from Italy. From what was said I gathered that Florimond is already on his way to Condillac. Oh, it made a fine stir. It left them no more appetite for dinner, and they seem to have thought it could have left me none for mine, for they ordered my instant return to my apartments." "Then you know nothing save that the courier is from the Marquis?"
Her hair, black as ebony, was spread across the pillows, making her face look ivory white, and the Prince noticed that she was unquiet; and when he softly advanced, fearing to wake her, he could hear her sigh, and murmur to herself: 'Ah! how dared you think to win my love by separating me from my beloved Florimond, and in my presence cutting off that dear hand that even you should have feared and honoured?
In the great hall of Condillac, where the Marquise, her son, and Mademoiselle de La Vauvraye had been at dinner, a sudden confusion had been spread by the arrival of that courier so soon as it was known that he bore letters from Florimond, Marquis de Condillac. Madame had risen hastily, fear and defiance blending in her face, and she had at once commanded mademoiselle's withdrawal.
"Slay you?" cried the Marquise, her eyes resting on his face with an expression as of wonder at such a question. "You jest, Fortunio." "And he with the fever," put in Marius, sneering. "Ah!" muttered Fortunio. "He has the fever? The fever is something. But but accidents will happen." "Florimond was ever an indifferent swordsman," murmured Marius dreamily, as if communing with himself.
She grew tall and straight and pretty, with eyes like shining stars, and a skin as white as milk. 'Oh, wonderful! can this really be my poor little self? she exclaimed, looking down in amazement at her tiny worn-out crutch as it lay upon the floor. 'Indeed, Princess, replied Florimond, 'it is yourself, but you must have a new name, since the old one does not suit you now.
And Florimond snapped a strong finger against a stronger thumb. "But whom have you with you?" he asked, and his eyes took the measure of Fortunio, standing a pace or two behind his master. Marius presented his bravo. "This is Captain Fortunio, the commander of our garrison of Condillac." The Marquis nodded good-humouredly towards the captain. "Captain Fortunio?
