I'm here under my maiden name, Ma'm'selle Luzanne Larue." "That's right. That's right. Now, until we meet again, don't speak of this to anyone. Will you give me your word?" "Absolutely," she said, and there was revenge and passion in her eyes. Suddenly a strange expression crept over her face. She was puzzled. "There's something of him about you," she said, and her forehead gathered.
Carnac, overcome by her sadness, put his arms round her and kissed her mouth, her eyes, her neck ravenously. She made only a slight show of resistance. When he stopped she said: "Is that the way you keep your word to my father? I am here alone and you embrace me is that fair?" "No, it isn't, and I promise I won't do it again, Luzanne. I am sorry.
Never had feeling run higher, never had racial lines been so cut across. Barode Barouche fought with vigour, but from the going of Luzanne Larue, there passed from him the confidence he had felt since the first day of Carnac's candidature.
So it was that, with Carnac elected and Barode Barouche buried, she sat with one of Disraeli's novels in her hand busy with the future. She saw for Carnac a safe career, for his two chief foes were gone Luzanne Larue and Barode Barouche. Now she understood why Carnac had never asked her to be his wife.
I wanted our friendship to benefit us both, and now I've spoiled it all." "No, you haven't spoiled it all," said Luzanne with a sigh, and she buttoned up the neck of her blouse, flushing slightly as she did so. Her breast heaved and suddenly she burst into tears. It was evident she wanted Carnac to comfort her, perhaps to kiss her again, but he did not do so.
First they bowed to each other, and Junia gave a pleasant smile, but instantly she felt here was a factor in her own life how, she could not tell. To Luzanne, the face of Junia had no familiar feature, and yet she felt here was one whose life's lines crossed her own. So it was she presently said, "Who are you, ma'm'selle?" in a sharp voice.
Her first glance at Luzanne showed the girl was well dressed, that she had a face of some beauty, that her eyes were full of glamour black and bold, and, in a challenging way, beautiful. It was a face and figure full of daring. She was not French-Canadian; yet she was French; that was clear from her accent.
I'm off for the Judge," and away went Ingot hard afoot, having already engaged a Judge, called Grimshaw, in the village near to perform the ceremony. When he had gone, Larue went off to smoke and Luzanne and Carnac cleared up the lunch- things and put all away in the baskets.
With impulse he drew out the letter he had received in John Grier's office and handed it to her. "Read that, and then I'll tell you all about it all I can." With whitening face, she took the letter and read its few lines. It was written in French, with savage little flourishes and twists, and the name signed at the end was "Luzanne." At last she handed it back, her fingers trembling.
This man made himself almost unbearable at first; but Luzanne pulled Ingot up acridly, and he presently behaved well. Ingot disliked all men in better positions than himself, and was a revolutionary of the worst sort a revolutionary and monarchist. He was only a monarchist because he loved conspiracy and hated the Republican rulers who had imprisoned him "those bombastics," he called them.
