If he had kissed her she would have felt that she must push him away; and yet she also knew how good a man he was. "Well, what is it, M'sieu' Fille? What do you want with me? I've got a lot to do before sundown, and it isn't far off. Out with it." George Masson was in no good humour; from the look on the face of the little Clerk of the Court he had no idea that he would disclose any good news.
"Then it all ends to-morrow," responded the Judge. The puzzled subordinate stood almost still, and looked at the Judge in wonder. Why should it all end to-morrow simply because the work was finished at the flume? At last he spoke. "It is only twelve miles to Laplatte where George Masson lives, and he has, besides, another contract near here, but three miles from the Manor Cartier.
Thomas Young, the Puritan minister, of Stowmarket, Suffolk. It is generally claimed for Young that he was an East Anglian. Professor Masson has, however, settled the question that he was a Scotchman, of the University of Aberdeen. Be that as it may, like most Scotchmen, he made his way to England, and was employed by Mr. Milton, the scrivener of Bread Street, to teach his gifted son.
The uncertainty is still greater when one comes to speak of the number of victims throughout the whole of France; De Thou estimates it at thirty thousand, Sully at seventy thousand, Perefixe, Archbishop of Paris in the seventeenth century, raises it to one hundred thousand; Papirius Masson and Davila reduce it to ten thousand, without clearly distinguishing between the massacre of Paris and those of the provinces; other historians fix upon forty thousand.
But Cairns, in addition to gaining academic distinctions, seems to have impressed his contemporaries in a quite exceptional degree with a sense of his power and promise. Professor Masson, writing of him as he was in his student days, thus describes him: "There was among us one whom we all respected in a singular degree.
This much must be said for George Masson, that after the terrible incident at the flume he would have gone straight to the Manor Cartier to warn Carmen, if it had been possible, though perhaps she already knew. But there was Jean Jacques on his way back to the Manor, and nothing remained but to proceed to Laplatte, and give the woman up for ever.
A drop of the best for Mother Maniffret, and if my fine friend there will drink with me to settle our difference, I will stand her a glass." The example set by the old hawker was contagious, and instead of filling two little glasses only, widow Masson dispensed a bottleful. "Come, you have done well," cried Mother Maniffret; "my idea has brought you luck."
She knew the little man to be as good as ever can be, but she resented the fact that he knew. It was clear George Masson had told him else how could he know; unless, perhaps, all the world knew! "You know well enough that I have come alone, my friend," she answered.
Her pecuniary returns from her American tour were very great, and she was enabled to buy a château and domain in Germany, a home which she was unfortunately destined never to enjoy. In New Orleans, in 1854, she entered into an engagement with M. Masson, director of opera in the city of Mexico, to sing for a fixed period of two months, with the privilege of three months longer.
A knock at the door and Sergeant Masson entered. "The coupé is ready." "Very well, Sergeant." Fandor rose and was about to put on his overcoat, but the man darted forward and helped him on with it. "Do you wish me to come with you, Monsieur, or would you prefer to return alone?" "Oh, alone, thanks, don't trouble yourself."
