'Ah! my dear Ammiani, the youngest editor in Europe! how goes it with you? the Greek called out with revived affability. Captain Gambier perceived that it was time to present his Italian acquaintance to the ladies by name, as a friend of Mademoiselle Belloni.
However, on the 11th of December we sighted the Pomotou Islands, the old "dangerous group" of Bougainville, that extend over a space of 500 leagues at E.S.E. to W.N.W., from the Island Ducie to that of Lazareff. This group covers an area of 370 square leagues, and it is formed of sixty groups of islands, among which the Gambier group is remarkable, over which France exercises sway.
"We still keep personally upon eating and drinking terms with them," Adams wrote at a tense moment. Speaking for his superiors and his colleagues, Admiral Gambier assured the Americans of their earnest desire to end hostilities on terms honorable to both parties. Adams replied that he and his associates reciprocated this sentiment.
Of late, however, more artists are found who are willing to pay this price, who are giving time and study not only to the subtle shadings of the delicate fur, but to the varying facial expression and sinuous movements of the cat. Gambier Bolton's "Day Dreams" shows admirably the quality and "tumbled-ness" of an Angora kitten's fur, while the expression and drawing are equally good.
In the broad well-paved streets about him a Malay syce, or driver, is trying to urge his spotted Deli pony, which is not larger than a Newfoundland dog, in between a big, lumbering two-wheeled bullock-cart, laden with oozing bags of vile-smelling gambier, and a great patient water buffalo that stands sleepily whipping the gnats from its black, almost hairless hide, while its naked driver is seated under the trees in the square quarrelling and gambling by turns.
"Monsieur is perhaps unaware that he obscures the outlook?" "Totally, monsieur," said Captain Gambier, and stood fast. "Will monsieur do me the favour to take three steps either to the right or to the left?" "Pardon, monsieur, but the request is put almost in the form of an order." "Simply if it should prove inefficacious in the form of a request."
In consequence a peremptory summons to deliver up her ships of war and naval stores was addressed to the governor of Copenhagen by the British commanders, Admiral Gambier and Lord Cathcart, under whom Sir Arthur Wellesley was entrusted with the reserve. The surrender, if made peaceably, was to be in the nature of a deposit, and the fleet was to be restored at the end of the war.
Now I know his name. It is Captain Gambier." She was allowed to pass on. "What is this she says?" Lady Charlotte asked. "It appears...something about a meeting somewhere accidentally, in the park, in London, I think; I really don't know. She had forgotten his name." Lady Charlotte spurred him with an interrogative "Yes?" "She wanted to remember his name. That's all. He was kind to her."
"Then it is Captain Gambier," cried Mrs. Chump, as if a whole revelation had burst on her. Adela blushed. "Oh! and what was that I heard?" continued the aggravating woman. Adela flashed her eyes round on her sisters. Even then they left her without aid, their feeling being that she had debased the house by her familiarity with this woman before Tracy. "Stay! didn't ye both " Mrs. Chump was saying.
Captain Gambier told them that he had merely interchanged amicable commonplaces with the Frenchman, "or Italian," he added carelessly, reading the card in his hand. "I thought she might be somebody whom we knew," he said to Mrs. Sedley. "Not the shadow of a likeness to her," the lady returned. She had another opinion when later a scrap of paper bearing one pencilled line on it was handed round.
