But somebody else always does wrong enough for both. Where is Lawrence now?" "At the block house, a mile away," replied Broussard. "I wished to see you before Lawrence gives himself up." Broussard's strange agitation was increasing. Colonel Fortescue took up a newspaper and glanced at it, to give Broussard a chance to recover himself. In a minute or two Broussard managed to speak calmly.
He thought you were dead, and came up and told us; and we brought you here on a stretcher, and the Señor Coronel sent for a doctor " "The Señor Coronel! Do you mean Mr. Fortescue?" "Yes, sir, I mean Mr. Fortescue." "Then you are Ramon?" "Hijo de Dios! You know my name." "Yes, you are Mr. Fortescue's body-servant." "Caramba! Somebody must have told you."
Fortescue would never see forty again, and her rich hair had a wide streak of silver running from her right temple; but she was the same Betty Beverley of twenty years before. The Betty Beverleys of this world are dowered with immortal youth and change but little, even under strange stars. Mrs. Fortescue had never in her life been at the end of her resources for placating men.
In the 'De Laudibus Legum Angliæ, written in the latter part of the fifteenth century, Sir John Fortescue says "But to the intent, most excellent Prince, yee may conceive a forme and an image of this study, as I am able, I wil describe it unto you. For there be in it ten lesser houses or innes, and sometimes moe, which are called Innes of the Chauncerye.

But the complications with Kettle grew more acute, and the mammy, in a blaze of indignation, took even stronger ground than the trained nurse, and declared she "warn't goin' to be bossed by no black nigger."
I am now writing in a delightful armchair, high-backed antiquity, and modern cushions. Company at dinner yesterday Lord and Lady Bathurst, Lord Apsley, Mr. William Bathurst, Lady Georgiana, Lady Emily, Lady Georgiana Lennox, Major Colebrook, and Mr. Fortescue, whom we met at Paris, very agreeable, "melancholy and gentlemanlike."

I recall the instance merely because it is associated in my mind with an event which, besides affecting a momentous change in my relations with Mr. Fortescue and greatly influencing my own fortune, rendered possible the writing of this book. The trial over, Mr.
"Ask not of my father, he is beside Colonel Fortescue; he shared his laurels and his grave." An expression of deep sympathy passed over Ellen's countenance, rendering her features, to the eager glance of the young man, yet more attractive. "You have, I see, much to say and inquire, my dear Ellen," said her aunt, kindly, as she marked her flushed cheek and eager eye. "Perhaps Mrs.
Thus, one still reads in France, above the wicket of the prison in the seignorial mansion of Tourville, Sileto et spera; in Ireland, beneath the armorial bearings which surmount the grand door to Fortescue Castle, Forte scutum, salus ducum; in England, over the principal entrance to the hospitable mansion of the Earls Cowper: Tuum est.
