Bunning-Ford shook his head. His look was troubled. "Horrocks is not the man to be turned from his purpose," he replied. "And besides, Lablache would not attempt such a thing. He is too keen to capture Relief," with a bitter laugh. "A life more or less would not upset that scoundrel's resolve. As for your uncle," with a shrug, "I don't think he's the man for the task.
As she looked, it seemed for a moment as though Dingan would open the door and throw Lablache out, for in quick reflection his eyes ran from the man to the wooden bar across the door. "You'll talk of the shop, and the shop only, Lablache," Dingan said grimly. "I'm not huckstering my home, and I'd choose the buyer if I was selling.
"Not a bad fellow if you don't stroke him the wrong way," said Grover. "Oh," said Railsford, in a tone which made his friend start. "Who is beyond him?" "Lablache, the French master; not very popular, I fancy." And so on, one master after another was pointed out, and Railsford formed his own opinions of each, and began to feel at home with several of them already.

A sigh, as of relief to pent-up feelings, escaped the two men who had watched the gamble. Old John said not a word and his face betrayed no thought or regret that might have been in his mind at the loss of such a large amount of money. He merely glanced over at the money-lender. "Your deal, Lablache," he said quietly. Lablache took the cards and a fresh deal went round.
She had completely established herself as a favorite with the London public before the end of the season, and thereafter she continued to sing alternately in London and Paris for a succession of years, sharing the applause of audiences with such artists as Grisi, Viardot, Lablache, Tamburini, Rubini, and Mario.
She had seen in many a half-breed's and in many an Indian's face the look which was now in that of Lablache, and her fingers gripped softly the thing in her belt that had flashed out on Breaking Rock such a short while ago.
It quite fell in with his own ideas. Everything must be done quickly now. He must get away from Foss River without delay. "Yes yes. Mum's the word." "Poker" John indicated his approval with an upward leer as Lablache rose from his chair, and a grotesque pursing of his lips and his forefinger at the side of his nose.
You've made a name out here for being the best trader west of the Great Lakes, and now's your time. It's none of my affair, of course, but I like to carry through what I'm set to do, and the Company said, 'You bring Dingan back with you. The place is waiting for him, and it can't wait longer than the last boat down. You're ready to step in when he steps out, ain't you, Lablache?"
Lablache on the safe ground of the prairie would have faced disaster very differently. The thought of that sucking mire was too terrible. The oily maw of that death-trap was a thing to strike horror into the bravest heart. "Which path?" Baptiste spoke, waving his hand in the direction of the mountains. Lablache moved cautiously forward, testing the ground with his foot as he went.
