"Well," exclaimed Jos, "`it's an ill wind that blows nobody good, and although I'm sorry enough to lose the ship, yet finding you goes a long way towards reconciling me to her fate, especially as I have not to pay for her." Adair expressed himself in somewhat similar language on seeing his nephew, Saint Maur.
'Oh no, Lamb ducky, you mustn't do that! she cried incautiously. The grown-up Lamb frowned. 'My dear Anthea, he said, 'how often am I to tell you that my name is Hilary or St Maur or Devereux? any of my baptismal names are free to my little brothers and sisters, but NOT "Lamb" a relic of foolish and far-off childhood. This was awful. He was their elder brother now, was he?
Maur, brought thither in the Norman troubles by fugitive monks from Anjou, and the monastery is better known to history under the name of St. Maur des Fossés. The entrails of our own Henry V. were buried there. Rabelais, before its secularisation, was one of its canons, and Catherine de' Medicis once possessed a château on its site.
Saint Melito defines it as the Incarnation and the Scriptures; Raban Maur as the Preacher, the hypocrite, and the Gentiles; Saint Eucher as the sinner; the Anonymous monk of Clairvaux as Christ; and others which I have forgotten." "These are many meanings for a single plant," observed Durtal.
"I have been thinking that as no vessel has come near us since we have been here, we might have to wait for months, or perhaps years more, unless we make an attempt to get off by such means as we have at our disposal," observed Adair. "What, you would not try to cross the Indian Ocean in the boats, would you?" asked Saint Maur.
"I am afraid, sir, it will be a rum sort of craft we should build, but if you will permit me to say so, I think if we were to lengthen some of the boats and rise upon them two or three feet, we should produce a better style of craft than we are likely to put together." Adair thought the matter over, and discussed it with Saint Maur.
"I came here because it is your last chance. Palliser knew what he was saying when he made a joke of it just now. He knew it wasn't a joke. You might have been the Duchess of Merthshire; you might have been Lady St. Maur, with a husband with millions. And here you are. You know what's before you when I am out of the trap." Joan laughed.
Avarice by the wolf, and, says Saint Theobald, by the spider; for lust, we have the he-goat, the boar, the toad, the ass, and the fly, which, Saint Gregory the Great tells, typifies the turbulent cravings of the senses; for envy, the sparrow-hawk, the owl, and screech-owl; for greediness, the hog and the dog; for anger, the lion and wild boar, and, according to Adamantius, the leopard; for sloth, the vulture, the snail, the she-ass, and, Raban Maur says, the mule.
In another minute down came the mainmast with a crash, followed shortly afterwards by the foremast and bowsprit, and, high above the roar of the surf and howling of the wind, the rending and crashing of the ship's timbers could be distinguished. "There goes all chance of our being able to build a craft," observed Saint Maur to the captain.
Madame Maür answered quietly, but I saw by her quick shiver that she had not been at peace, all this time. "She's not there. The place is all shut up." "Doesn't she usually attend these festivities up the hill?" I asked. His look went through me like a dagger. "Not today, you fool!" "Well, why worry about her?" It was I who put it calmly.
