And seeing something in the Frenchwoman's face that perhaps he had expected, he turned to her almost fiercely: "You are to understand, madame, that this lady has been placed in my care by authority that will not be questioned. She is to have every deference." That was all, but was enough.
Nataly might share in them, but women did not lead her to expansiveness; or not the women of the contracted class: Miss Graves, Mrs. Cormyn, and others at the Radnor Concerts. She had a special consideration for Mademoiselle de Seilles, owing to her exquisite French, as she said; and she may have liked it, but it was the young Frenchwoman's air of high breeding that won her esteem.
She went into Rawdon's room, and there saw that a trunk and bag were packed ready for removal, with a pencil direction that they should be given when called for; then she went into the Frenchwoman's garret; everything was clean, and all the drawers emptied there. She bethought herself of the trinkets which had been left on the ground and felt certain that the woman had fled.
The wind rose a little, too, and soughed in the pine branches, to die wailing among the stones. It did not strike me as a cheerful wind for a man in Hutton's shoes, for it covered the light sound of my feet as I went past the hut of the boy I had nursed and through the maze of tracks his mother had shown me, to the new log lean-to the Frenchwoman's son had built and never used.
"Comment elle est belle," said a Frenchwoman, turning round in the box next to us, and directing at the same moment the eyes of a moustached hero upon my fair companion. What a turn to my thoughts did this unexpected ejaculation give rise to! I now began to consider her more attentively, and certainly concurred fully in the Frenchwoman's verdict. I had never see her look half so well before.
It is only what you deserve!" roared the skipper, infuriated and out of all patience at the Frenchwoman's mistake and her appealing in such terms to the murderous scoundrels, of whom we had made so summary an end. "We're Englishmen; we're your friends, I tell you, true-hearted British sailors, who have come to rescue you, so open the door!"
'Ca, c'est l'amour! she said to herself, 'assurément c'est l'amour! And when Pamela came down again, radiant as a young seraph, and ready to kiss the apple-red cheek of the Frenchwoman the rarest concession! Madame Guérin did not need to be told that Arthur Chicksands was safe and likely to be sound. But the Frenchwoman's inference was premature.
Why should Madame de Mauves have chosen a Frenchwoman's lot she whose nature had an atmospheric envelope absent even from the brightest metals? He asked her one day frankly if it had cost her nothing to transplant herself if she weren't oppressed with a sense of irreconcileable difference from "all these people."
To Sperry she showed, I observed, a slight deference, but when she glanced at me, as she did after each reply, I thought her expression slightly altered. At the time this puzzled me, but it was explained when Sperry started down the stairs. "Monsieur is of the police?" she asked, with a Frenchwoman's timid respect for the constabulary. I hesitated before I answered.
Already the little countess had made herself mistress of the situation, for she scarcely paid attention to her husband's admiration. In fact, in the look which she occasionally cast at him, there seemed to be the consciousness of a Frenchwoman's ascendancy over the puny, volatile, and red-haired Pole. "Here comes Paz," said the count, hearing a step which echoed through the gallery.
