Had the popinjay a crossbow as well, and an arrow on the string, or had the Turk a fist as well as a head, our young gallant's nerves would scarce be as steady over the business. I make no doubt, Master Clarke, that we shall make trusty comrades. What saith old Butler? "Never did trusty squire with knight, Or knight with squire ere jump more right."
At the sight of the young gallant's spirit a number of the mob instantly ranged themselves on his side. Others came on like infuriated animals on the off chance of Captain Jeremy Rofflash rewarding them for their services. "You'd better show these ruffians a clean pair of heels," whispered a friendly voice in the young man's ear.
Oh, sir, there is my captivity!" "What! Your husband?" "He is not my husband." "Mais a thousand pardons. The child your pardon." "Pish! 'Tis the child of an Indian woman." "Oh!" The blood again came to the young gallant's forehead. "Listen, I tell you! I have been scarce better than a prisoner in this man's hands. He has abused me, threatened me, would have beaten me " "Madame Mademoiselle!"
He thinks a man ought never to be beat; and that 'It isn't so much the gallant who woos As the gallant's way of wooing. But I do hope, Harry, you won't have to marry Geraldine. Fancy her mistress of 'The Towers! no go! no fun! and she would collect the stupidest people in the county." "What a brilliant little chatelaine some one else would make!" quoth wicked Harry.
Well, o' all th' tirrits and to-do's as e'er you heard on! Methought when Mistress Lemon found out that th' girl had refused th' gallant's offer th' house would be a tighter fit for us three than its shell for an unhatched chick.
Was he a friend, a poor relation, a man who followed at the old gallant's heels as a lady companion does at an old lady's? Did he fill a place midway between a dog, a parrot, and a friend? Had he saved his patron's fortune, or only his life? Was he the Trim to another Captain Toby? Elsewhere, as at the Baronne de Rouville's, he always piqued curiosity without satisfying it.
"Madame, your husband killed Iberville's brother." She swayed. The governor's arm was as quick to her waist as a gallant's of twenty-five: not his to resist the despair of so noble a creature. He was sorry for her; but he knew that if all had gone as had been planned by Iberville, within a half-hour this woman would be a widow.
All this musing John related to Consuello in the wonderfully happy evenings that followed Mrs. Gallant's conversion from disliking to loving the girl he adored. He told her he could never decide which of the four he liked best. He said sometimes Broadway had shaken her bobbed curls at him, smiling and bright, pretty and stylish, and he was captivated.
Because a motion picture actress, as human as any other woman and as liable to imperfection, sought a divorce in the courts she instantly, in Mrs. Gallant's mind, became an immoral character. A motion picture actor attacked by a blackmailer because of his wealth and prominence, was adjudged guilty of whatever wrong of which he was accused.
