When I say these Bonapartes, Lazarre, I am not speaking against the Empire. The Empire gave me back my estates. I was not one of the stringent emigrés. My estates are mine, whoever rules in France. You may consider me a betwixt-and-betweener. Do so. My dear boy, I am. My heart is with my dead king. My carcass is very comfortable, both in Paris and on my ancestral lands.
Her face blanched white, but she laughed. "No De Ferrier ever took a base advantage of royal favor. Don't you think this is a strange conversation in a drawing-room of the Empire? I hated myself for being here until you came in." "Eagle, have you forgotten our supper on the island?" "Yes, sire." She scarcely breathed the word. "My unanointed title is Lazarre.
The count's face darkened. "I'll not abuse him. He's dead." "Are you sure he's dead this time, count?" "A Kickapoo is carrying his scalp. Trust my runners. They have traced him so much for me they know the hair on his stubborn head. I must go where I can have amusement, Lazarre. This country is a young man's country. I'm getting old. Adieu. You're one of the young men."
I used to be almost as much afraid of him as I am of you!" "Ah, mademoiselle, I dread to enter paradise." "Why, monsieur?" "The angels are afraid of me!" "Not when you smile." "Teach me that adorable smile of yours!" "Oh, how improving you will be to Lazarre, monsieur! He never paid me a compliment in his life. He never said anything but the truth." "The lucky dog!
Carey was relieved to find it was only an affair of fists. He promptly hurled himself at the combatants and dragged Paul away, while Mrs. Joe Esquint Joe himself being dead-drunk in a corner flung her fat arms about Lazarre and held him back. "Stop this," said Carey sternly. "Let me get at him," foamed Paul. "He insulted my sister. He said that you let me get at him!"
"What was he doing in the American woods?" "Living on the bounty of one Count de Chaumont, a friend of Bonaparte's." "Who is he?" "A French half-breed, brought up among the Indians." "What name does he bear?" "He is called Lazarre." "But why is a French half-breed named Lazarre attempting to force himself on the exiled court here in Mittau?"
"I used to love you when you were so tiny, Paul, before you knew how to love me back. If I forget how" she clutched the lapels of my coat "will you leave me then?" "Eagle, say this: 'Lazarre cannot leave me." "Lazarre cannot leave me." I heard her repeating this at her sewing. She boasted to Marie Grignon "Lazarre cannot leave me! Paul taught me that."
In my straits of exile I never decreased them. And you may take inventory of your property and claim it when we rise from the table." My heart came up in my throat. I reached across and caught his hands. "You believe in me you believe in me!" "Do I observe any etiquette with you, Lazarre? This is the second time I have brought the fact to your notice.
"Imagine the Count of Provence stepping down from playing royalty to do that!" my friend laughed. "I don't know why he shouldn't, since he knows I am alive. He has sent money every year for my support." "An established custom, Lazarre, gains strength every day it is continued.
And is this lad's mother white, too?" "No. Mohawk." "Why, man, his body is like milk! He is no son of yours." The chief marched toward me. "Let him alone! If you try to drag him out of the manor I will appeal to the authority of Le Ray de Chaumont." My father spoke to me with sharp authority "Lazarre!" "What do you call him?" the little man inquired, ambling beside the chief.
