"I am not thinking about Loupe. O Ransom! stop him; there's Nora Dinwiddie; I want to get out." The place at which they were arrived had a little less the air of carefully kept grounds, and more the look of a sweet wild wood; for the trees clustered thicker in patches, and grey rock, in large and in small quantities, was plenty about among the trees.
How many spies did not you send out after d'Olonne? She married the Count d'Olonne, and became famous for her gallantries, of which the Count de Bussi speaks so much, in his History of the Amours of the Gauls. Her maiden name was Catherine Henrietta d'Angennes, and she was daughter to Charles d'Angennes, Lord of la Loupe, Baron of Amberville, by Mary du Raynier.
"I am not sick. I always say I am well." "For instance, you are so well that you never get tired?" "Oh, I get tired very often. I always did." "What sort of things make you tired? Do you take too long drives in your pony-chaise?" "I have no pony-chaise now, Dr. Sandford. Loupe was left at Melbourne. I don't know what became of him." "Why didn't you bring him along?
"I do not know. Supposing that you be still kept in banishment what then?" Daisy struggled with herself succeeded, and spoke calmly. "I should like to have Loupe sent, Dr. Sandford, if you please." "Loupe? what is that? What is Loupe, Daisy?" "My pony, sir. My pony-chaise." "Oh! Not to drive to Melbourne?" Daisy met the doctor's blue eye full, and answered with guileless submission.
The doctor's horse was before the door, and Daisy was on the piazza. The doctor came out, ready for his day's work. "Do you want me to do anything for you at Melbourne, Daisy?" "Cannot I go home to-day, Dr. Sandford?" "I do not know. Supposing that you be still kept in banishment what then?" Daisy struggled with herself succeeded, and spoke calmly. "I should like to have Loupe sent, Dr.
The black pony was ready, with another boy in place of Sam; nobody interfered with her; and off they went, the wheels of the little chaise rolling smoothly over the gravel, Loupe in a gentle waddling trot, and Daisy in a contented state of mind. It was very pleasant! Clear sunny air, yet not too hot, and the afternoon shadows beginning to make all things look lovely.
"You take care of Loupe, Sam, and I'll go in," said Daisy. A plan which probably disappointed Sam, but Daisy did not know that. She went through a little wicket and up the path. Juanita did not look like the blacks she had been accustomed to see. Black she was not, but of a fine olive dark skin; and though certainly old, she was still straight and tall and very fine in her appearance and bearing.
To get home soon was no pleasure; so she let Loupe take his own pace, anything short of walking; and it was getting dusk when they reached Melbourne. Daisy was not glad to be there. It was Friday night; the next day would be Saturday. Mrs. Randolph came out into the hall to see that nothing was the matter, and then went back into the drawing-room.
Then everything was right; the pony chaise before the door, Sam in waiting, and Daisy just pulling her gloves on, when Ransom rushed up. He was flushed and hurried. "Who's going out with Loupe?" "I am, Ransom." "You can't go, Daisy I'm going myself." "You cannot, Ransom. I am going on business. Papa said I was to go."
"No, but suppose I drive, and we will leave Loupe at home for to-day. I want to go as far as Schroeder's Hill, to look after trilobites; and I do not want anybody with me but you. Shall we go?" "What are those things, Capt. Drummond?" "Trilobites?" "Yes. What are they?" "Curious things, Daisy! They are a kind of fish that are found on land." "Fish on land! But then they can't be fish, Capt.
