Madame la Duchesse de Langeais says they give a woman something vague, Ossianic, and very high-bred." "Very good; send them to me at once." Then the lady turned quickly toward the rue de Menars, and entered her own house.
"Very well, then," others replied, "Mme de Langeais has been guilty of a most generous piece of imprudence. To renounce the world and rank, and fortune, and consideration for her lover's sake, and that in the face of all Paris, is as fine a coup d'etat for a woman as that barber's knife-thrust, which so affected Canning in a court of assize.
"And it is so much easier to remember the sinners," Walter adds, "because there is always something doing among them." Leaving the auto in the village, we climbed up to the castle by a steep and narrow path and entered the great doorway where the moat and drawbridge between the huge round towers again reminded us of Langeais.
Would Heaven grant me my fondest wish, it would be to wander with on the banks of the Loire. How sweetly, and even justly, did Felice express the true image of love, when she wished me the golden dream, that I was wandering with my love in the corn-fields of Saumur. We passed through Langeais, a small town, celebrated for its melons, with which it supplies Paris, and all France.
But Stuart came out on the porch and Harry and de Langeais halted, because they heard the hoofs of a galloping horse. The man who came was in the dress of a civilian, and he brought a message. Stuart's brilliant figure was seen no more in the ballroom that night, but he disappeared so quietly that his absence created no alarm at first.
Wherever Mme de Langeais went, M. de Montriveau was certain to be seen, till people jokingly called him "Her Grace's orderly." And already he had made enemies; others were jealous, and envied him his position. Mme de Langeais had attained her end.
Clair and other officers, listening to young Julien de Langeais, who sat on another log, playing a violin with surpassing skill. Lieutenant-Colonel St. Hilaire, knowing his prowess as a violinist, had asked him to come and play for the Invincibles. Now he was playing for them and for several thousand more who were gathered in the pine woods.
So far from frightening Olivier, her threat only helped to make up his mind to side with her. Christophe had no small difficulty in making the crazy pair have a little patience: before taking such desperate measures they might as well try others: let Jacqueline go home, and he would go and see M. Langeais and plead their cause. A queer advocate!
But if accident should set you free, we shall be one " "Accident, Armand?" "Mind that. If anything should happen to M. de Langeais by your fault, I should never be yours." And so they parted, mutually content. The Duchess had made a pact that left her free to prove to the world by words and deeds that M. de Montriveau was no lover of hers. And as for him, the wily Duchess vowed to tire him out.
Every evening he came to Mme de Langeais' at the hour kept for him by a tacit understanding. It would be tedious, and, for the many young men who carry a redundance of such sweet memories in their hearts, it were superfluous to follow the story step by step the progress of a romance growing in those hours spent together, a romance controlled entirely by a woman's will.
