His kind of unconsidered advice leads to a lot of sadness. "The Rue Longue contains a few quaint old houses." It doesn't contain any houses at all. There are some heaps of scorched rubble. "Quaint" is word painting. "On the south side of this square rises the dignified Cloth Hall." There is nothing dignified about a shattered, burned, tottering old building. Why will he use these literary words?
Then putting his finger on the words, and emphasizing some of them, he began as follows: "'Le 7 juin 1862 le trois-mats Britannia de Glasgow a sombre apres, put, if you please, 'deux jours, trois jours, or 'une longue agonie, it doesn't signify, it is quite a matter of indifference, 'sur les cotes de l'Australie.
Now she was convinced that her love had starved even unto death, that it was a corpse in her home, corrupted the air and must be removed. Kedzie lay extended on her chaise longue, looking as much unlike Madame Recamier as one could look who was so pretty a woman. A Sunday supplement dropped from her hand and joined the heap of papers on the floor.
The singers and the musicians were amateurs of Lyons. Mademoiselle Longue, Gerbet, the postmaster, and Theodore, the merchant, who had each performed their parts in a charming manner, received the congratulations of the First Consul, and the most gracious thanks of Madame Bonaparte.
Better try la Longue Traverse than take advantage of her pity she'd surely get into trouble. What wonderful eyes she has. She thinks I am a brute how she sobbed, as though her little heart had broken. Well, it was the only way to destroy her interest in me. I had to do it. Now she will despise me and forget me.
Artois lay back in the chaise longue and gazed up at the blue, then at the section of distant sea which was visible above the rim of the wall though the intervening mountain land was hidden. It was a paradise up here. And to have it with the great love of a woman, what an experience that must be for any man!
Chafing under the loss of trade by reason of an independent post that had been built upon the shore of his lake some ten miles to the southward, his wild Metis blood called for action and, hastily summoning a small band of Indians, he attacked the independents. Incidentally, the free-traders' post was burned, one of the traders killed, and the other captured and sent upon the longue traverse.
Duncan, a little at a loss in what manner to proceed, remained silent; but the scout, who had listened attentively to all that passed, now advanced steadily to the front. "That I did not answer to the call for La Longue Carabine, was not owing either to shame or fear," he said, "for neither one nor the other is the gift of an honest man.
Sunshine paused delicately just inside, where forms of pale-blue birds and lavender flowers curled up and down the cretonne curtains; and a tempered, respectful light fell upon a cushioned chaise longue; for there fluffily reclined, in garments of tender fabric and gentle colours, the prettiest twenty-year-old girl in that creditably supplied town.
Indeed, the street, in places, was literally covered with these votive offerings of the people, who had no other means of testifying their reverence for the ceremonial. The line filed into the Rue Longue Neuve, which was extensively decorated with flags, streamers, and other national and religious emblems. In many windows burned a line of candles, in some cases before a crucifix.
