She now wore a charming gown of blue velveteen, with the same transparent fichu, garnet pendants in her ears, her hair in ringlets, the wily jeannette round her throat, black satin slippers, gray silk stockings, and gants de Suede; add to these things the manners of a queen and the coquetry of a young girl determined to capture Rogron.
The remark made the two husbands pensive. When Jeannette returned and announced that all was ready, Soudry said to her, "Come and help me!" a precaution which made the ex-monk smile. "There's a difference, indeed!" said he. "As for me, I'd leave you alone with Annette, my good friend."
In the midst of the quadrilles I saw the wife of my friend and that of the mathematician. Madame Alexander wore a charming dress; some flowers and white muslin were all that composed it. She wore a little cross a la Jeannette, hanging by a black velvet ribbon which set off the whiteness of her scented skin; long pears of gold decorated her ears.
I picked him out in my sample book of the aristocracy, and when I fitted the name on to Jeannette the Countess of Chilminster it sounded quite elegant." "Then it wasn't because you knew I knew him?" demanded Mrs. Urmy's hostess with growing amazement. Mrs. Urmy's face took on a blank expression. "You've heard me mention the name. That's how it's pronounced," explained Lady Hartley.
He was college bred; he was a successful worker with his brain as well as with his hands, for his farming was scientific farming, and his results established a model for the community. He was by no means poor and yet Georgiana realized that the change for Jeannette from a home of luxury to one of comparative austerity of living would be a tremendous one.
A happier pair, or one better suited to each other, it has never been my privilege to know. As I visited them in their new home I became more and more dissatisfied with bachelor existence, and there were times when I had half a mind to go straight to Jeannette and ask her advice in the matter. Ah, those days! They will never come to me again.
"She faced the first one very happily," Georgiana reminded her. "The first one was a novelty and of course she was determined not to acknowledge how lonely she must often have been. I do not say that James Stuart is not a very attractive and trustworthy young man; I am fond of him myself very. But I shall always feel that Jeannette has made a terrible mistake.
"Merci! merci!" said Jack and Bill, as their hostess made signs to them to fall to. Pierre joined them, and in a short time Captain Turgot himself came in. He was as hospitably inclined as his wife and daughter, and kept pressing the food upon the boys. "Merci! merci!" was their answer. At last Jeannette began to laugh, as if she thought it a good joke.
The seamed precipice, the indented cove with the child's figure standing at the top, and all the panorama to which she was so accustomed by morning light or twilight passed before her without being seen by her fierce red-rimmed eyes. Jeannette Descheneaux had walked through the midst of colonial intrigues without knowing that they existed.
She was to meet her cousins as the train went through their city, but Stuart had invited himself to accompany her to that point, thus giving himself a chance, as he said, to clinch that bargain with Jeannette concerning the promised letters and post-cards. Therefore Georgiana's farewells were not to be all said at once, for which she was thankful.
