Numerous obstacles stand in the way of defining its story, but it is known that from the ninth century to the thirteenth bow instruments gained in importance. They divided into two classes the viol proper, with flat back and breast and indented sides, to which belonged the veille, videl, or as it has been called, guitar-fiddle, and the pear-shaped type, such as the gigue and rebec.
"Quel ravissement de la lune!" exclaimed a deep guttural voice at this juncture, and Louis Gigue came out from the dark embrasure of the Manor's oaken portal into the full splendour of the moonlight "Et la belle Mademoiselle Vancourt is ze adorable fantome of ze night! Et milord Roxmouth ze what-you-call? ze gnome! ze shadow of ze lumiere! Ha-ha!
She knew that Gigue would say what he thought or what he wanted to say, reckless of censure, and she felt the refreshment and relief of having one, at least, in the group of persons around her, who was not in her Aunt Emily's service, and who uttered frankly his opinions regardless of results.
"Good-bye!" and she nodded smilingly "Thank you so much for letting me see your lovely garden! As soon as Cicely arrives, you must come and see her you will, won't you?" "I shall be most happy " he murmured. "She will be so interested to hear how you sent her my telegram," continued Maryllia "And Gigue too poor old Gigue! he is sure to come over here some time during the summer.
Next day all the guests at the Manor had departed with the exception of three Louis Gigue, and the 'Sisters Gemini, namely, Lady Wicketts and Miss Fosby. With much gush and gratitude for a 'charming stay a delightful time! Lady Beaulyon and Mrs. Bludlip Courtenay took leave of their 'dear Maryllia, who received their farewells and embraces with an irresponsively civil coldness.
Sir Morton Pippitt fired off bumptious observations at Walden, who paid no heed to them Bruce Ittlethwaite of Ittlethwaite Park, found a congenial spirit in Lord Charlemont, and talked sport right through the repast and Louis Gigue enlivened the table by a sudden discussion with Mr. Marius Longford, relative to the position of art in Great Britain.
"Esker vous avez un moovais passage, Mo'sieur?" she demanded, with placid self-assurance "Le mer etait bien mal?" Gigue laughed, showing a row of very white strong teeth under his grizzled moustache, as he accepted a cup of tea from Cicely's hand, who gave him a meaning blink of her dark eyes as she demurely waited upon him. "Ah, Madame! Je parle ze Inglis seulement in ze England! Oui, oui!
"How do you know you will be famous?" asked Lady Beaulyon, amused. "Instinct!" replied Cicely, gaily "Just as the bird knows, it will be able to make a nest, so do I know I shall be famous! Don't let us talk any more about singing! Come and see the garden, Gigue! I'll take you round it and I want a chat with you." The two went off together, much to the relief of the rest of the party.
Besides, the famous artists Baron Gros, David and Nicholas Poussin, and Canova, who was in town making a statue of the Emperor for Leo X., and, in a word, all the celebrities of Paris as my gifted countrywoman, the wild Irish girl, calls them were assembled in the Marquis's elegant receiving-rooms. At last a great outcry was raised for La Gigue Irlandaise!
She will never get on with a yellow face like that! And SUCH a figure!" Maryllia laughed. "Well, she's only fourteen " "Nonsense!" declared Mrs. Courtenay "She tells you that but she's twenty, if she's a day! She's 'doing' you, all round, and so is that artful old creature Gigue! Taking your money all for nothing! you may be sure the two of them are in a perfect conspiracy to rob you!
