For a while they left their glasses and danced with the rest to the strident music of the merry-go-round organ. It was long after midnight when Garron paid his score under the tent. She had told him much in the meantime there was no one to care whom she followed. She told him, too, she had come to the fête from a hamlet called Les Forêts, where she had been washing for a woman.
I niver knew how I liked the gray garron till I was shut av him an' Asia. 'Dhrumshticks' was the nickname of the Colonel commanding Mulvaney's old regiment. 'Will you be seein' him again? You will. Thin tell him' Mulvaney's eyes began to twinkle 'tell him wid Privit 'MISTER, Terence, interrupted Dinah Shadd.
Physically he was as strong as an ape, yet I believe the woman could easily have strangled him with her bare hands. Garron had been a hard drinker in his youth, a capable thief and a skilful poacher. His career in civilization ended when he was young and it is said good-looking.
In Paris the attempt to educate Jacques Baptiste Garron was an expensive experiment. When he went to bed at all it was only when the taverns and cafés along the "Boul-miche" closed before dawn. Even then he and his band of idle students found other retreats and more glasses in the all-night cafés near the Halles.
Two captains ride before them on shaggy ponies, the taller in armor, stained and rusted with many a storm and fray, the other in brilliant inlaid cuirass and helmet, gaudy sash and plume, and sword hilt glittering with gold, a quaint contrast enough to the meager garron which carries him and his finery.
"You need not fear," said the man that came, "there is no saying but that you might make better use of him than I. He has one value, there is no single place that you can think of in the four parts of the wheel of the world that the black horse will not take you there." So the king's son got the black horse, and he gave the limping white garron.
"'Oh! as for that, says the Englishman not up to him, you see 'I don't care much, Paddy, only let me hear it, and where he lives. "'Just keep your ground, then, says Ned, 'till I light off this blood-horse of mine' he was an ould garron that was fattened up, not worth forty shillings 'this blood-horse of mine, says Ned, 'and I'll tell you.
It seems that the miser, Garron Garron's boy Garron's woman, Julie, and another woman who nobody seems to know much about, are mixed up in the affair. Garron's history I have known for months my good friend the curé confided to me much concerning the unsavory career of this vagabond of a miser, whose hut is on the "Great Marsh," back of Pont du Sable.
At last there was but one horseman in chase of the six men who were fleeing without a look behind them a frenzied blackavised trooper on a short-legged garron he rode most clumsily, with arms that swung like wings from the shoulders, his boots keeping time to the canter with grotesque knockings against the gaunt and sweating flanks of his starven animal.
Sieges, Cabanis, Garron Coulon, Lecouteul, Canteleu, Lenoin Laroche, Volney, Gregoire, Emmery, Joucourt, Boissy d'Anglas, Fouche, and Roederer form another class, some of them regicides, others assassins and plunderers, but all intriguers whose machinations date from the beginning of the Revolution. They are all men of parts, of more or less knowledge, and of great presumption.
