The light was too dim for the others to see the flush which flamed in her face. She went back and stood beside the bureau. "Now, papa, are you going to motor to Paris in a thin coat and linen waistcoat? If we're going, we'd better go. You always do keep us waiting half an hour whenever we start to go anywhere," said Germaine firmly. The millionaire bustled out of the room.
"Yes; to-morrow morning," said Germaine. Jeanne and Marie slipped on their dust-coats to the accompaniment of chattering and kissing, and went out of the room. As she closed the door on them, Germaine turned to Sonia, and said: "I do hate those two girls! They're such horrible snobs." "Oh, they're good-natured enough," said Sonia. "Good-natured?
Thus, when her father was drawing up his monograph on the French finances, Germaine labored hard over a supplementary report, studying documents, records, and the most complicated statistics, so that she might obtain a mastery of the subject. "I mean to know everything that anybody knows," she said, with an arrogance which was rather admired in so young a woman.
Paris was loud in her acclamations to the potentates and conquerors of the day, whilst Rome exalted an humble shepherdess, Germaine Cousin, and some poor and obscure monks who were hanged by heretics three hundred years ago, in a small town of Holland. Yet was not Paris distinguished only by material glories, nor was Rome altogether free from the taint of modern worldliness.
"It is Germaine who should shine there and who should love it, for she possesses all the qualities which put her in a position to be at once feared and sought." If she was allied to the past, however, by her tastes and her sympathies, she belonged to the future by her convictions, and her many-sided intellect touched upon every question of the day.
"Yes, sir; I haven't seen the pendant. Didn't Mademoiselle Germaine leave it on the bureau?" said Irma. "How do you know that?" said M. Formery. "I heard Mademoiselle Germaine say that it had been on the bureau. I thought that perhaps Mademoiselle Kritchnoff had put it in her bag." "Why should Mademoiselle Kritchnoff put it in her bag?" said the Duke quickly.
One of the official British reports to Lord George Germaine, made on October 23d of this year, deals with the Indian war parties employed against the northwestern frontier. "Many smaller Indian parties have been very successful.... It would be endless and difficult to enumerate to your Lordship the parties that are continually employed upon the back settlements.
Germaine," said Sonia; and having finished addressing the envelope under her pen, she laid it on the pile ready to be posted, and, crossing the room to the old, wide fireplace, she rang the bell.
John and its inhabitants Whites and Indians rendered him peculiarly fitted for the task to which he was appointed. We come now to consider the circumstances under which Fort Howe was built. Lieut.-Governor Arbuthnot wrote to the Secretary of State, Lord George Germaine, on the 11th October, 1777, that in consequence of frequent attacks on the settlements on the St.
So we find at the last that Germaine de Stael, though she was much read and much feted and much followed, came finally to that last halting-place where confessedly she was merely an old woman, eccentric, and unattractive. She sued her former lovers for the money she had lent them, she scolded and found fault as perhaps befits her age.
