"It certainly would not rejuvenate her," said Henri, finishing the sentence. "Marquis, you are very impertinent," said the duenna, laughing. "As a penalty, you must lend me five louis." "With the greatest pleasure." "Thank you!" And, as a new hand was about to be dealt, Heloise seated herself at one of the tables. This time Paul Landry put fifteen thousand francs in the bank.
They were just in time to see, but not to prevent the attack upon their young master; and while Veronique fled, screaming, Landry Osbert, who had been thrown back on the stairs in her sudden flight, recovered himself and hastened to his master.
I've only had time to read part of it myself. It's the first one I've had from her since their marriage." He lit a cigar. "Go ahead," he said, settling himself on the box. "What does Mrs. Court have to say?" "'My dearest sister," began Laura. "'Here we are, Landry and I, in New York at last.

But before Landry could reply a third trader for the Gretry Company joined the two.
Among these persons was Andre Desvanneaux, whose father, a churchwarden at Ste.-Clotilde, had attained a certain social prestige by his good works, and Paul Landry, in his licentiate in a large banking house in Paris.

Landry fixed the tops of the window mouldings with a piercing eye, his arms folded.
Cecily and her husband and the doctor and Landry came in out of the darkness together. They went up-stairs together, then stopped on the threshold as Cissy held up a warning hand. She continued to croon softly the lullaby which had belonged to her own babies: "Hushaby, sweet, my own " It was Cecily and the doctor who went in to her, and Landry, standing back in the shadows, waited.
But, little by little, Landry became aware that the tumult of the Pit was intermitting. There were sudden lapses in the shouting, and in these lapses he could hear from somewhere out upon the floor voices that were crying: "Order order, order, gentlemen." But, again and again the clamour broke out.
Landry among others found himself commissioned to sell. His orders were to unload three hundred thousand bushels on any advance over and above ninety-four. He kept his eye on Leaycraft, certain that he would force up the figure. But, as it happened, it was not Leaycraft but the Porteous trio who made the advance.
