Fortunately for the troop of horsemen the habitans were utterly unarmed; but stones began to be thrown, and efforts were made by them, not always unsuccessfully, to pull the riders off of their horses. Poor Jean La Marche's darling child, his favorite violin, was crushed at the first charge. Jean rushed at the Intendant's bridle, and received a blow which levelled him.
We have kept Maude standing for a long while, before her mistress, seated in the great chair in Dame Agnes de La Marche's chamber. "And how lovest thy new fashion of life, my maid?" demanded the Countess, when she had taken her seat. "Right well, an' it like your Grace." "Surely so, Madam." Maude smiled and courtesied. She was gradually learning Court manners.
Several of La Marche's companions now rushed in, and in five minutes their opponents gave out, succumbent to superior wind and sinew.

As a governor, he probably exercised his brief authority with the rigour of one new to the helm. "And the Count of Charolais bore himself so well and so virtuously in the task, that nothing deteriorated under his hand, and when the good duke returned from his journey, he found his lands as intact as before." Such, is La Marche's testimony.
This was the first answer she had written to M. de la Marche's note, the one she had not judged fit to send. "Edmee," I said, throwing myself on my knees, "let me see that letter. Whatever if may be, I will submit to the decree dictated by your first impulse." "You really would?" she asked, with an indefinable expression.
