I knew well that nothing had passed between Monsieur and Grancey, and I was never jealous of them; but I could not endure that she should derive a profit from my household, and that no person could purchase an employment in it without paying a douceur to her. I was also often indignant at her insolence to me, and at her frequently embroiling me with Monsieur.
I was curious to examine it, interposed Cecilia; 'and I am as much at a loss as you to understand what could have attracted him. One sentence... 'About the sheikh in the stables, where he accused the pretended physician? Yes, what was there in that? 'Where is the book? said Mrs. Grancey. 'Not here, I think. Cecilia glanced at the drawing-room book-table, and then at Mr.
When Monsieur, misled by his favourites, did something which was neither just nor expedient, I used to say to him, "Out of complaisance to the Chevalier de Lorraine, you put your good sense into your pocket, and button it up so tight that it cannot be seen." After my husband's death I saw Grancey only once; I met her in the garden.
"Accepted." The two officers laughed uproariously at the prospect. "Répentigny, if you do this," cried Grancey, "we will speak for you to the King for something good." After dinner Madame proposed a promenade in the park.
From Auberive, Praslay and Grancey, rendezvous were made in the woods of Charbonniere or Maigrefontaine; nothing was thought of but the exploits of certain marksmen, the number of pieces bagged, and the joyous outdoor breakfasts which preceded each occasion.
"Oh, sir, you have been too kind to me," Lecour cried, in a voice of agony, his eyes running tears; and grasping the hand of the Adjutant, he wrung it affectionately, and could speak no further. Sobering himself and turning quickly, he made his exit. Many curious eyes furtively followed him and guessed the secret as he strode along to his apartment. Grancey came to him in a few moments, furious.
Madame de Fiennes said to him one day, "You are in much more danger from the ladies you visit, than they are from you." It was even said that Madame de Monaco had attempted to give him some violent proofs of her affection. He pretended to be in love with Madame de Grancey; but if she had had no other lover than Monsieur she might have preserved her reputation.
I'll say for the Whigs, they would not be seen touting for Tories if they were not ghosts of Whigs. You are dead. There is no doubt of it. 'But, Grancey Lespel repeated, 'if there's no doubt about it, how is it I have a doubt about it? 'The Whigs preached finality in Reform. It was their own funeral sermon. 'Nonsensical talk!
And he, though individually he did not understand how there was to be game in the land if game-preserving was abolished, signed his name R. C. S. NEVIL BEAUCHAMP for Dr. SHRAPNEL, in the communications directed to solicitors of the persecutors of poachers. His behaviour to Grancey Lespel was eclipsed by his treatment of Captain Baskelett.
I have always had my own household, although during Monsieur's life I was not the mistress of it, because all his favourites derived a share of profit from it. Thus no one could buy any employment in my establishment without a bribe to Grancey, to the Chevalier de Lorraine, to Cocard, or to M. Spied.
