Germain's defiant bearing fell, he dropped his head and groaned. "Strike him!" roared Grancey. "You must die anyway. Strike, in default of a sword to run him through!" "He dares not!" the Admiral exclaimed to the group of aristocrats. "You take him for one of yourselves. You are his dupes like the others." "You admit this inasmuch?" he inquired triumphantly of Lecour.
Her eyes were hollow and sunken, and the alteration which this had caused in her face cannot be imagined. In Spain they, lock up all the ladies at night, even to the septuagenary femmes de chambre. When Grancey followed our Queen to Spain as dame d'atour, she was locked up in the evening, and was in great grief about it.
Grancey Lespel was the survivor of them, and well could he remember the happier day of his grandfather, his father, and his own hot youth.
Thus young Monsieur de Soulas, who was supposed by every one to be very near the end he was aiming at, all neckcloths set, and by dint of pots of patent blacking an end which required so much waxing of his moustaches, so many smart waistcoats, wore out so many horseshoes and stays for he wore a leather vest, the stays of the lion Amedee, I say, was further away than any chance comer, although he had on his side the worthy and noble Abbe de Grancey.
Grancey is in high indignation with him. It does not concern the Election, you can imagine. Something that man Dr. Shrapnel has done, which he says Captain Beauchamp could have prevented. Quarrels of men! I have instructed Palmet to write to Vivian Ducie for a photograph of Madame de Rouaillout. Do you know, one has a curiosity to see the face of the woman for whom a man ruins himself.
The Abbe de Grancey sat down by the Baroness in such a position as to watch Rosalie, whose face, usually pale, wore a feverish flush. "What can have happened to Monsieur de Savarus?" said Madame de Chavoncourt. At this moment a servant in livery brought in a letter for the Abbe de Grancey on a silver tray. "Pray read it," said the Baroness.
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.
You tried to get that man Dollikins from me in the Tory interest. 'I mean to keep him out of Radical clutches. Now that 's the truth. They came up to the group by the open window, still conversing hotly, indifferent to listeners. 'You won't keep him from me; I have him, said Beauchamp. 'You delude yourself; I have his promise, his pledged word, said Grancey Lespel.
Some of the gentlemen sat down to cards, finding the thing intolerable. The Abbe de Grancey, who did not know what to think, went to the window where Rosalie was hidden, and exclaimed aloud in his amazement, "He must be dead!" The Vicar-General stepped out into the garden, followed by Monsieur de Watteville and his daughter, and they all three went up to the kiosk.
Shrapnel foremost that there is now a watch over them to stop them. But for him, Grancey Lespel would have enclosed half of Northeden Heath. As it is, he has filched bits here and there, and he will have to put back his palings. However, now let Cecilia understand that we English, calling ourselves free, are under morally lawless rule.
