"He follows his friends into strange places," she retorted. "And now, Mr. Temple," she added, "may we trust you to stay here with Lamarque until you have word from us?" "You know I cannot stay here," he cried. "And why not, Monsieur?" "If I were captured here, I should get Monsieur de St. Gre into trouble; and besides," he said, with a touch of coldness, "I cannot be beholden to Monsieur de St.
Dunmore, the youthful poet of whom I have already spoken, stood before me. "I have found you at last," he said, "deputed as I am to do so by Miss Lamarque. It is a point of honor with her to care for you personally in this crisis. You know Major Favraud placed you under her care; besides that, her regard for you impels this request. She bids me say " I interrupted him hastily.
The king angrily replied, "Who is responsible for the blood which has been shed? The miserable wretches who took advantage of the funeral of General Lamarque to attack the Government by open force. The cannons you have heard have demolished the barricades of St. Meri. The revolt is terminated.
But Lamarque had seen the lady, stared at her wildly for a moment, and rose, dropping his cards on the floor. He bowed humbly, not without trepidation. "Madame la Vicomtesse!" he said. By this time Nick had risen, and he, too, was staring at her. How he managed to appear so well dressed was a puzzle to me. "Madame," he said, bowing, "I beg your pardon. I thought you were that I beg your pardon."
"You must not talk so, Ada;" and I took her hand, which was burning. "Why not? Who are you, to prevent me? I am as good as you any day or Miss Lamarque either, or any of those haughty ones though my father was a negro-trader. Well, whose business was that but God's? If He don't care, who need care? An't I right, old mammy?" appealing to the ancient negress, who had suspended her croon to listen.
After the rest were gone, Miss Lamarque and I concluded to promenade on the nearly-deserted deck, in the moonlight, and let the excitement of the evening die away through the medium of more serious conversation.
The crowd, surveyed at that moment with a bird'seye view, would have presented the aspect of a comet whose head was on the esplanade and whose tail spread out over the Quai Bourdon, covered the Bastille, and was prolonged on the boulevard as far as the Porte Saint-Martin. A circle was traced around the hearse. The vast rout held their peace. Lafayette spoke and bade Lamarque farewell.
Then, together, we went out, just in time to join the little troop of young children and nurses on their way to the deck. Miss Lamarque did not reply to their tumultuous greeting, but, silently taking the baby Florry, her namesake, in her arms, kissed her many times.
Is there another conspiracy at Terre aux Boeufs, or does somebody live there who has never before lent Auguste money?" Madame la Vicomtesse laughed. Then she grew serious again. "You did not know where he had gone?" she said. "I did not even know he had gone," said Nick. "Citizen Lamarque and I were having a little game of piquet for vegetables. Eh, citizen?"
Notwithstanding the most rigid censorship of the press France has ever known, the Government was assailed in various ways, continuously and mercilessly, with rancor which could scarcely be surpassed. On the 1st of June, 1832, General Lamarque died one of the most distinguished generals of the Empire.
