Our own museums appear to be very weakly furnished with examples of the vessels and implements in common use for culinary purposes in ancient times, and, judging from the comparatively limited information which we get upon this subject from the pages of Lacroix, the paucity of material is not confined to ourselves.
Monsieur Jasmin was nettled, but he only smiled again more contemptuously, saying, "Of course, it was doubtless only a dream of mine that there is such a young lady as Mademoiselle Lacroix." "What!
"Why you ask that?" he said. "Because Lacroix has been instructed to take me by that route," I answered. Pierre said not a word, but smoked in silence. I sat upon the couch waiting. His face was quite impassive, but I knew that my question was of tremendous import to me. At last he shook the ashes out of his pipe and rose. "Come with me," he said.
"The marriage of Mademoiselle Lacroix with the young Marquis de Beaujardin, who came here to St. Sulpice for the purpose." "Fool! idiot! do you know what you are saying? There has been no marriage at the convent to-day. Are you mad?" "Pardon me, madame," replied the priest, with dignity. "Even your ladyship's rank, whoever you may be, cannot excuse such expressions towards one of my holy calling.
The skilful teacher then began the singing-lessons by slowly playing over and over the special tune he had selected 'The Blue Bells of Scotland' for the finches to learn. He performed the melody upon a small instrument given him by Pierre Lacroix, his comrade on the expedition, the notes of which were curiously like the birds' own. Jerry truly had marvellous need of patience.
Well, in course, they nat'rally said as they didn't want to be saddled with a one-handed man, and I was turned back me and old Pierre Lacroix, the Frenchman who taught me how to train them little customers. Jerry pointed with his pipe to the infant finches under his handkerchief.
Well, I have never met a soul except Lacroix to-day who has seen anything of him in the interval between his disappearance and his coming to claim the estates. That means that for pretty well half a lifetime he passed completely out of the world. Poor beggar! I fancy that he was hard up, for one thing."
Can there be any account more favourable to our views than this, after so sudden an emancipation. I may appeal next to General Lacroix, who published his "Memoirs for a History of St. Domingo," at Paris, in 1819.
My wounded heart at its sight began to bleed again; but Thora, expressing a wish to M. de Lacroix that she might return home, bowed to me with a forced smile and swimming eyes, and I was spared the humility of showing how incompetent I was to conceal my tears.
After promising the dowry the marquis had indeed felt somewhat vexed with himself at not having asked her for a little more information as to the means by which she intended to carry out her plans and how Mademoiselle Lacroix was to be induced to agree to them.
