At Brincliffe on this particular day the two sides felt distinctly shy of each other, and it was a real boon to have a pair of "giddy lunatics" to scream at. But when Cadbury had boxed Frere's ears for giving the dates of the royal Georges correctly, and when Simmons had sharpened his pencil with Vickers's knife without asking leave, the relations between boarders and day-pupils grew easier.
"Yes; I don't suppose you will object to that. Georges Petit is going to collect all my best pictures for a special exhibition in the Rue de Seze, which will open the first week in October. The portrait will only be away a month. I should think you could easily spare it for that time. In fact, you are sure to be out of town. And if you keep it always behind a screen, you can't care much about it."
The Théâtre-Français in the Rue Richelieu holds the first rank, for the drama, of any theatre in France, where Talma, Duchesnois, Mars and Georges have so often enchanted not only the French public, but persons of all nations who were assembled in Paris, and on these boards Mlle Rachel now displays her magic art; nor are the attractions of Mlle Plessis to be passed over unnoticed, but as she has lately been to London, my country people can form a better judgment of her than from any description I can give.
Georges was about to resume his interrupted studies of the Aurora Borealis, which he wished to trace to its source by means of a balloon ascent, and Iclea intended to accompany him in his voyage through the air. To my great regret I was unable to go with them to Norway, as my duties as an astronomer kept me in Paris.
So people of fashion in the days of the early Georges trod these same rooms where Carlyle grumbled and his wife fretted. And they too had grumbled and fretted or worse perhaps. It was a ghostly old house. 'This, said the matron, when they had passed up the stair, 'used to be the drawing-room. That's their sofa. 'Yes, sir, the sofa that is mentioned in the letters.
"George," ses the 'ousekeeper. "George? George who?" ses Alfred, very severe. "Why your uncle, of course," ses the 'ousekeeper. "Do you think I've got a houseful of Georges?" Young Alf sat staring at her and couldn't say a word. He noticed that the room 'ad been altered, and that there was a big photygraph of her stuck up on the mantelpiece.
Thereupon I replaced him with another mechanic, and he returned, appearing worn and noticeably thinner. "It seems to me, tout de même," I remarked, "that this young monsieur knows very well what he is about. We have not been asked to repair a single stick of his machine." "True," replied Georges. "But that is not his ambition, to break wood.
By what a system of falsehood and petty tyrannies were we governed through the reigns of James I. and Charles I.! What periods of rottenness and danger there have been since! How little glorious was the reign of Charles II.! how full of danger that of William! how mean those of the four Georges, with the dishonesty of ministers such as Walpole and Newcastle!
He had to go for a ride with the two Du Buits. They're coming to tea here, too," said Germaine. "Gone for a ride with the two Du Buits? But when?" cried Marie quickly. "This afternoon." "He can't be," said Marie. "My brother went to the Du Buits' house after lunch, to see Andre and Georges. They went for a drive this morning, and won't be back till late to-night."
He would speak of himself just as he spoke of others, with the same detachment, the same jovial, serene humor. Georges was impressed by his tranquillity. It was for this that he came. When he had unburdened himself of his light-hearted confession, he was like a man stretching out his limbs and lying at full length in the shade of a great tree on a summer afternoon.
