As soon as Ney gave the word, we both fired: I felt a whiz past my left ear, and putting up my hand there, found a large piece of my whiskers gone; whereas at the same moment, and shrieking a horrible malediction, my adversary reeled and fell. "Mon Dieu, il est mort!" cried Ney. "Pas de tout," said Beauharnais. "Ecoute; il jure toujours."
The execration in which the man's crime was held extended itself to the place where it was perpetrated, which was marked by a small cairn, or heap of stones, composed of those which each chance passenger had thrown there in testimony of abhorrence, and on the principle, it would seem, of the ancient British malediction, "May you have a cairn for your burial-place!"
Judge only by our two causes, and give the victory to that which is the more just. If Thou shouldst call me before Thy supreme tribunal, I know very well that I should appear burdened with an eternal malediction; and indeed it is not upon myself that I reckon but upon the merits of our Saviour Jesus Christ. "Come what may, be praised and blessed, O my God!
"Ma foi! it is a malediction that you must always have a petticoat tacked to your doublet!" "Ah, dear Agrippa," replied the man who had spoken first, "it is so great a grief to part from one you love." "On my soul, you make me swear to hear you talk! Did you come to Paris to make love?
It is too bad you could not wait a year and love in your cabin at the ranchería, by a good fire, and with plenty of frijoles and tortillas in your stomachs." He dropped his sarcastic tone, and, rising to his feet, extended his right arm with a gesture of malediction. "Do you comprehend the enormity of your sin?" he shouted.
"As between gentlemen, eh?" said he; "as between gentlemen." Then he walked slowly to the other side of the road, where the driver was engaged in drawing his carriage out of the ditch. "I will enter your malediction of a carriage," he said, "but you must lead the horses to the bottom of the hill."
And the last time I saw him in this world that misses him, he took me aside in a crowd, to say, with his amiable smile: 'We were talking of you only to-day at dinner, and I wished you had been there, for I had some Claret up in Carlavero's Bottle. It is an unsettled question with me whether I shall leave Calais something handsome in my will, or whether I shall leave it my malediction.
But the matches were war matches, and one after another broke off in his hand against the side of the box. He tried holding the next close to the head, but the head flew off. With a muttered malediction on British manufacturers, Colwyn struck several more in rapid succession before he succeeded in lighting the candle at his bedside.
The other Vagres who, until now had remained hidden in the bushes, rushed forward with loud yells and intrepidly attacked the troop of Neroweg. The combat became general. Who were the vanquishers in that combat? The Vagres or the Franks? Malediction! After a stubborn struggle, almost all the Vagres were slain.
They will be more devoted to thy service than those who never fell. Of that I feel assured. Spare my feelings in this trying hour. An earldom has this day fallen to my lot a rich domain on which no malediction rests. Share it between you, my children; become good citizens; and if for ten human beings that I have destroyed you make but one happy, my soul may yet be saved. Go no farewell!
