But when he takes the form of a blond Hercules, with eyes blue as the myosotis, and a mustache mais une moustache! and with no idea whatever of the bigness of the thing he's doing! It was the thunderbolt, Rodney le coup de foudre and no wonder!" "I hope you told him so." "I was very stiff with him. I sent him about his business just like that." She snapped her fingers.
Her gradual success led her to being sent abroad to a military hospital. She inspired confidence, not because she had initiative, but because one knew she would do exactly as she was told, which is, in itself, a great quality. At Boulogne she made the acquaintance at once of Aylmer, and of the coup de foudre. She worshipped him at first sight.
Dawn found La Foudre close on the Dutchman's heels, not a mile astern, and the sight of her very evidently flustered the Jongvrow. No doubt mademoiselle's brother recognizing Levasseur's ship would be responsible for the Dutch uneasiness.
But our picturesque visitor has none of it. I've a great liking for him." "Already!" breathed out Mrs. Travers, with a smile that touched her lips with its bright wing and was flown almost before it could be seen. "There is liking at first sight," affirmed d'Alcacer, "as well as love at first sight the coup de foudre you know."
The chief danger to your house isn't here, it's where the fire's between it and the wind!" His answer was a look of anguish. "Good God! my fran'. We come yondeh so quick we can! But foudre tonnerre! look that house here fill' with ba-bee'! What we goin' do? Those Sister' can't climb on roof with bocket' wateh.
"We had drifted, neither knowing where. It was fate." "Darling, do you remember our talk in your sitting-room, and of the coup de foudre? Well, it has struck us both. Oh! I could curse myself! Your dear little white face looks up at me pathetically without a reproach, and I have been a selfish brute to even tell you I love you.
She is an old darling; but, between ourselves, she does take her lions a little too seriously, doesn't she. Well, prepare for a coup de foudre, Gregory. You'll be sure to fall in love with her. Everybody falls in love with her. Captain Ashton has been in love with her for twenty years. She is extraordinary." "I'm ready to be subjugated," said Gregory.
He took a letter out of his pocket and handed it to the detective, who opened it and read as follows: "Si Milord ne rend pas ce qu'il ne doit pas garder, le coup de foudre lui tombera sur la tete." There was no signature, nor any date. Gimblet turned the sheet over thoughtfully.
In fact, it was a rare and genuine case of coup de foudre. Had she been a girl he would have proposed to her the next day, and they might quite possibly have married in a month, and lived happily ever after. These things occasionally happen. But she was married already. But it was very much worse than that. He found her delightful, and clever; he was certain she was an angel.
It was le coup de foudre of a French writer on the affections M. Stendhal. Miss Birkenhead had won my heart from the first moment of our meeting. Why should I attempt to describe a psychological experience as rare as instantaneous conversion, or more so? Miss Birkenhead was tall and dark, with a proud pale face, and eyes which unmistakably indicated the possession of a fine sense of humour.
