"Let us have another; but Maisons- Lafitte is too near. We will go to Rouen the next time; or rather, I invite you all to a day fete in Paris, a game of polo, a lunch, a garden party, whatever you like. I will arrange the programme with Yamada and Jacquemin." "Willingly," responded the Japanese, with a low bow. "To collaborate with Monsieur Jacquemin will be very amusing."
The very few glasses of Lafitte that I had sipped had the effect of rendering me drowsy, and I felt inclined to take a nap of some fifteen or twenty minutes, as is my custom after dinner. At six I had an appointment of consequence, which it was quite indispensable that I should keep.
And to such an extent did this marauding obtain that, by the time we had reached the Mississippi River, I was almost wholly barren of further silver coins. Many things I learned as we voyaged; as that my dog Partial would, when asked, roll over and over upon the ground, or sit up and bark things taught him by no man known in his history, so far as Lafitte could recall it.
If any boat did come here, we could well, we could blow her out of the water, couldn't we, Peterson? We could blow you out of the water, too, couldn't we, we and these ruffians of our crew?" and I pointed at the two low-browed pictures of Lafitte and L'Olonnois. A shudder was my only answer. I think the two portraits of my young bullies did the business.
Lafitte insolently retorted by offering five thousand dollars for the head of the governor. This impudent defiance aroused Claiborne to more decisive action. A force of militia was called out and sent overland to Barataria, with orders to capture and destroy the settlement of the buccaneers and seize all the pirates they could lay hands on.
Well, I know that a cousin of Jean Lafitte who no doubt has dug for treasure all over the dooryard of Monsieur Edouard " "But not behin' the smoke-house nevair on dose place yet, I'll swear it!" " Very well, suppose you have not yet included the smoke-house of Monsieur Edouard, at least you are his friend. And what Acadian lives who is not a friend of the ladies?" "Certain', Monsieur."
Buckled around his waist was an ancient ship's cutlass contributed to his equipment by Pedro Lafitte, the baker, who proudly asserted its inheritance from his ancestor, the illustrious buccaneer. At the admiral's heels tagged his newly-shipped crew three grinning, glossy, black Caribs, bare to the waist, the sand spurting in showers from the spring of their naked feet.
You were afraid I might tell on you; and besides, you were pirates now; and so you took me prisoner. Marry, good Sirs, 'tis not the first time a prisoner has joined a pirate band!" "That's wonderful!" gasped Jean T. Lafitte Saunders. "And you say you have never been up to our lake!"
But whether this was the case or not, he must go out and try the effect of fair words, for he had no desire whatever to defend his interests by hard blows. Before Lafitte reached the vessel he was surprised to find it was a British man-of-war, not an American, and very soon he saw that a boat was coming from it and rowing toward him.
Everything is so bad at this d d club, no wonder, when a troop of boys are let in! Enough to spoil any club; don't know Larose from Lafitte! Waiter!" Meanwhile, the talk round the table at which sat Percival St. John was animated, lively, and various, the talk common with young idlers; of horses, and steeplechases, and opera-dancers, and reigning beauties, and good-humoured jests at each other.
