One instant afterwards, Tristan l'Hermite, to whom Oliver had given the hint, stepped forward before the King and the Duke, and said, in his blunt manner, "So please your Majesty and your Grace, this piece of game is mine, and I claim him he is marked with my stamp the fleur de lis is branded on his shoulder, as all men may see.
An affirmative reply was given, when the governor, taking the taller of the young men aside, conversed with him earnestly, and in a tone of affection strangely blended with despondency. The interview, however, was short, for Mr. Lawson now made his appearance, conducting an individual who has already been introduced to our readers. It was the Canadian of the Fleur de lis.
We stopped too long at the Exposition du Lis, and she requested us to set her down at Salmon's door on our way here." It was Camille herself who had skilfully prolonged the visit to the art show, still hoping to prevent her mother from meeting Gerard. And her rage arose from the ease with which her mother had got rid of her, thanks to that falsehood of having something to try on.
The king, his two brothers, Henri of Navarre, and Conde were all dressed alike in light yellow satin, embroidered with silver, and enriched with precious stones. Marguerite was in a violet velvet dress, embroidered with fleurs de lis, and she wore on her head a crown glittering with gems. The queen and the queen mother were dressed in cloth of gold.

Nor was the spirit of action confined to these. The long sweeps of the schooner had been shipped, and such of the crew as remained on board laboured effectually at them, a service, in which they were essentially aided, not only by mine host of the Fleur de lis, but by the young officers themselves.
All this was a theme which his listeners loved to listen to, and Madeline not the least. Youth, beauty, pomp, what are these, in point of attraction, to a woman's heart, when compared to eloquence? the magic of the tongue is the most dangerous of all spells! "Alc. I am for Lidian: This accident no doubt will draw him from his hermit's life! "Lis. Spare my grief, and apprehend What I should speak."
"I have been above forty years," added he, "in Portuguese Guiana, but have never yet met with anybody who has seen the lake." So much for Lake Parima, or El Dorado, or the White Sea. Its existence at best seems doubtful: some affirm that there is such a place and others deny it. Grammatici certant, et adhuc sub judice lis est.
