"They owe that to me, too!" cried the enthusiastic urchin. Meanwhile Captain Allain Launay had patiently ripped the captain's stripes from his cap, and when he had finished handed them to Guynemer: "Promise me to wear them when you are appointed captain." This victory was not questioned, and there was even some discussion about making this youngster a Knight of the Legion of Honor.
She wanted to summon De Launay, to point out to him the glories of the landscape and to let its purity and strength sink into him for the salvation of his manhood. But he remained aloof, lost, she surmised, in the buffet, drinking illicit liquor with disreputable boon companions.
Remember, Court life is excessively dull, truly the dullest form of existence on earth, it is quite natural that he who is the most bored by it should desire some break in the terrible monotony!" "The monotony will certainly be broken with a vengeance, if the King continues in his present humour!" said De Launay grimly. "Possibly!
"Sir," murmured De Launay "We live in strange times " "Why, there you speak most truly!" said the King, with emphasis "We do live in strange times the very strangest perhaps, since Aeneas Sylvius wrote concerning Christendom. Do you remember the words he set down so long ago? 'It is a body without a head, a republic without laws or magistrates.
"I have said that Monsieur Doolittle has told me that you are an American, that you contemplate returning to your own country " "Mademoiselle forgets or does not know," interrupted De Launay, "that I am not American for nearly twenty years." "I know all that," was the impatient reply. She hurried on. "I know monsieur le général's history since he was a légionnaire.
It is undoubtedly true that he will have no difficulty in securing passage, nor will it be denied him to take his wife with him. Therefore it is that I suggest the marriage to monsieur. It was Monsieur Doolittle that gave me the idea." De Launay was swept with a desire to laugh. "What on earth did he tell you?" he asked.
De Launay had called regarding the final arrangements. Her passports had been secured and her passage on the Astarte, of the Blue Star line, was arranged for.
De Launay wanted to shout with laughter as he thought of the search of years ending in this fashion: the discovery of the Bonanza, under the very nose of the dead man's daughter, by the very man who had murdered him! But his impulse was stifled as his keen mind cast back over the past days. He recalled the rescue of Solange and the ambush from the top of the great, flat outcrop.
I had to be lifted in and out of the carriage; otherwise I found my health coming back as I got away from those icy regions towards a milder climate. My mare passed the winter in the stables of M. de Launay, head of the forage department. Our road lay through Silesia.
He had chosen that I should learn manners as best I could at home, not as page in some great household or as gentleman in the retinue of some high personage. "A De Launay shall have no master but God and the King," he said. Reverently I had fulfilled his injunctions, holding my young impulses in leash.
