"An hour old. There has been a second duel between our Louis and Lecour. What a pity!" "A pity? it is an infernal outrage! Another duel? Oh, my God!" "Lecour became impatient " "Impatient, forsooth!" "And exclaimed among his companions that Léry " "Curse his insolence!" "That Léry's family were skin-merchants." "The pig and scoundrel! he shall sting for this.
I make you this reparation as being due to your character, and I am sincerely mortified about the misunderstanding which has caused you so much trouble. "And I have the honour to be, sir, "Yours, etc. "To M. LeCour de Lincy, officer of the Bodyguard of the company of Noailles." The old Councillor, one of the most respected men in the colony, grew red with shame.
The Lecours are always going up, up, up. Our Germain's distinction is a glory for the whole parish. Lecour here ought to be proud of it." Flattery from his Curé weighed more with Lecour père than bushels of argument. The wife saw her accidental advantage and took it. "He does not like to pay for it," she remarked demurely. "What! what! my rich friend Lecour.
As quick as she, he interposed himself, and standing in front of Germain grasped her arm and said to her firmly "This fellow has something to say to you first." Then, turning to Lecour, who stood with head down and feelings worse than those of his condemnation to death "Speak, butcher's grandson!" He withdrew a step to allow Germain to face Cyrène.
"Stop, gentlemen, let me say a word," Judge Panet interposed. "Such a writing being so delicate a matter, to be just to both parties, ought to be drawn by a third. I think I am in a position to do this; will you leave the matter to me?" "I am the person who was injured, and the only one who knows what will effectively right me," Lecour answered; "He is correct," said de Léry.
It became clear that they must attempt an escape, for with the dark came fresh dangers. Dominique remained on guard, while Lecour, taking a candle, went through the old castle, making a rapid survey. The night was clear and cold, the moon had not yet risen, and the darkness was sufficient to favour them. He selected a window for the attempt.
The Marquis quitted his tone of alert judicial inquiry, and thundered out, like a criminal prosecutor "Heavens, I have it!" "What, Uncle." "He is an impostor. No Canadian named Lecour can be what he pretends nay, not even a petty gentleman, for I know the whole list by heart to its obscurest members. No Lecour whatever is on it. Who of that name is at Répentigny? Only the merchant of St.
Yet that hour's reflection on the innkeeper's conduct woke Lecour to the power of rank in old Europe. Having added to his toilet the special elegance of powdering his hair, arrayed himself in his finest flowered waistcoat, and critically disposed his laces, Germain took seat in de Bailleul's coach and was driven away. As the horses flew along another new feeling came to him.
Look at me, unnatural father, and reflect that your child is to experience from you his earliest wrong." Lecour quailed. His powers of spoken argument were not great. He said nothing, but rose, threw off his coat suddenly, and sat down again. "Yes," she exclaimed, angry tears rolling down her cheeks.
"My name is Monsieur de la Louvière, Gendarme of the Guard," he said. "I come on the part of the Chevalier de Bailleul respecting the matter of Monsieur LeCour." "Be seated, sir," replied the Marquis with interest, indicating a chair near his writing-desk, at which he himself sat down. "Is this Lecour known to yourself?" "I am a friend of his," replied M. de la Louvière. "Where is he now?"
