The principal of these works, most of which are still in manuscript in the hands of De Peyrou, was an essay on the origin of Languages, which I had read to M. de Malesherbes and the Chevalier de Lorenzy, who spoke favorably of it. Such was my intention, and the execution of it was facilitated by an act of generosity in Rey, upon which I cannot be silent.
At the head of her household was a M. Lorenzy, an artful genius, with a still more artful wife; who had so far insinuated herself into the good graces of her mistress, that she was rather on the footing of a friend than a servant.
Thorpe was quite impassive, but his fingers were twitching. Then I heard Jim's voice curiously distinct "What are you going to do?" "The valve may work loose. Anyways, she leaks a bit. Guess we're all right." Once more his confidence diffused itself subtly, and again a phrase shattered it. "How far is San Lorenzy from the ocean?" "Eleven miles," said Ajax. "We're sailin' plumb into the fog."
The distich had been, read by everybody who came to see me, and my visitors were numerous. The Chevalier de Lorenzy had even written it down to give it to D'Alembert, and I had no doubt but D' Alembert had taken care to make my court with it to the prince.
If he was in the corral, t'other wasn't. Boys I won't detain ye any longer. Those in favour of hangin' Thomas Ransom an' John Short here and now hold up their hands!" The men present held up their hands. One or two of the more bloodthirsty held up both hands. "That'll do. Those in favour of takin' the prisoners to San Lorenzy hold up their hands. Nary a hand!
To enable me to support his enmity I had no person, neither at the Hotel de Luxembourg nor at the Temple, except the Chevalier de Lorenzy, who professed himself my friend; but he was more that of D'Alembert, under whose protection he passed with women for a great geometrician.
If I were not guilty of the offence of becoming his rival I was very near doing it; for Madam de Boufflers was still his mistress, and I knew nothing of the matter. She came rather frequently to see me with the Chevalier de Lorenzy. She was yet young and beautiful, affected to be whimsical, and my mind was always romantic, which was much of the same nature.
"You claim that you know nothing o' this job?" "Not a thing." "And you?" The big 'Piker' stared superciliously at Smoky. "Same here," said Smoky. The visitors glanced at each other, slightly nonplussed. The big 'Piker' swore in his beard. "We'll arrest the hull outfit," he said decidedly, "and carry 'em in to San Lorenzy." "You ain't, the sheriff nor his deputy," said Ransom.
