As for General Forey, whether his dullness of perception failed to grasp the true drift of his master's mind, or whether he was unable to steer his way through the tortuous policy which he was called upon to further, he seemed to regard his mission as fulfilled.
A discussion, peculiar to men of the world, succeeded the laugh at Mr. Clarence. Then coffee was handed round and the footman informed Adrian, in a low voice, that Mrs. Doria Forey particularly wished to speak with him. Adrian preferred not to go in alone. "Very well," he said, and sipped his coffee.
Forey advised his punning grandson Clarence to give that house a wide berth, where he might be disposed of and dished-up at a moment's notice, and the scent ran off at a jest.
In the year of our Lord 1863 Judas was burned in Mexico on the Plaza Mayor under the shapes of General Forey, Napoleon III, and last, but not least, M. Dubois de Saligny, who especially was roasted with a will amid the wild execrations of the populace. President Juarez had bent his whole energy upon the raising of an army of relief.
If he had desired them to laugh he would have been obeyed, and in as hearty a manner. "How triste!" said Mrs. Doria Forey to Lobourne's curate, as that most enamoured automaton went through his paces beside her with professional stiffness. "One who does not suffer can hardly assent," the curate answered, basking in her beams. "Ah, you are good!" exclaimed the lady. "Look at my Clare.
Adrian took a chair by Brandon Forey, a barrister of standing. "I want to ask you," he said, "whether an infant in law can legally bind himself." "If he's old enough to affix his signature to an instrument, I suppose he can," yawned Brandon. "Is he responsible for his acts?" "I've no doubt we could hang him." "Then what he could do for himself, you could do for him?"
General Forey, the commander of the besieging force, increased as far as possible the difficulties of the conflict, in order to send, with the customary French bombast, brilliant bulletins to Paris, and thus bind a victor's wreath about his own brow, and enable him to obtain a much-coveted marshalship. In this he was successful, as he was promoted to that dignity upon his return to France.
The news of the check sustained by the French at Puebla a check to which the precarious condition of the army lent all the proportions of a serious defeat was made public in France by means of a despatch sent from New York on June 14. The army was at once raised to twenty-five thousand men. The command-in-chief of this increased force was given to General Forey.
"The reason why men and women are mysterious to us, and prove disappointing," we learn from The Pilgrim's Scrip, "is, that we will read them from our own book; just as we are perplexed by reading ourselves from theirs." Mrs. Amiable giggling Forey girls called Clare, The Betrothed. Dark man, or fair? was mooted.
I heard that he was sublimely happy, and had eaten such a breakfast that dinner was impossible; claret and cold chicken, cake and" "Cake at breakfast!" they all interjected. "That seems to be his fancy just now." "What an extraordinary taste!" "You know, he is educated on a System." One fast young male Forey allied the System and the cake in a miserable pun.
