How did I get here?" "I brought you. I was pretty bad, but you I never saw anything like you! From the time you kissed Lady Mount-Rhyswicke " Mellin sat bolt upright in bed, staring wildly. He began to tremble violently. "Don't you remember that?" asked Cooley. Suddenly he did.
The seventh person proved to be the Italian, Corni, who had surrendered his seat in Madame de Vaurigard's victoria to Mellin on the Pincio. He presently made his appearance followed by a waiter bearing a tray of glasses filled with a pink liquid, while the Countess led her two wicked boys across the room to present them to Lady Mount-Rhyswicke.
"Comtesse de Vaurigard," was the name engraved, and below was written in pencil: "To remember Monsieur Robert Russ Mellin he promise to come to tea Hotel Magnifique, Roma, at five o'clock Thursday." There had been disappointment in the first stages of his journey, and that had gone hard with Mellin. But London, his first stopping-place, had given him some dreadful days.
If we put a canal through Mellin's place it'll give people a real cause for complaint. I shall have to resign if you insist on my doing it." Freet laughed sardonically. "The Service can't afford to lose you, even if you do live in the clouds! Why, I broke you in myself, Manning, and you are one of the best men in the Service today, bar none. We will let the Mellin matter rest for a while."
"Sire," said Mellin de Saint-Gelais, seeing that all were well pleased, "I had never heard a better Pantagruelian prognostication. Much do we owe to him who made these leonine verses in the Abbey of Theleme:
We're drinking a toast, and you'll have to break away long enough to join in." "Queen! That's what she is!" shouted Cooley. Mellin lifted his glass with the others and drank to Madame de Vaurigard, but the woman at his side did not change her attitude and continued to sit with her elbows on the table, her cheek on the back of her hand, watching him thoughtfully. VI. Rake's Progress
The coast here is quite as fine, some think even grander, than it is around the Lizard; while the air, though temperate, has a bracing freshness from the Downs. The true name of Mullion Cove is Porthmellin, and it is probable that Mullion itself is a corruption of Mellin, for the church is dedicated to Melyan or Melanus, the father of Mylor.
He got out dazedly, and the driver cracked his whip over the little horse; but Mellin lifted a detaining hand. "A spet," called Lady Mount-Rhyswicke to the driver. "What is it, Mr. Mellin?" "I can't I can't look you in the face," he stammered, his attitude perfectly corroborative of his words. "I would oh, I would kneel in the dust here before you " "Some of the poetry you told me you write?"
"And there's loads of wise young men on the ocean now, hurryin' over to take our places in the pens. Well, they can have mine! Funny, Mellin: nobody would come up to you or me in the Grand Central in New York and try to sell us greenbacks just as good as real.
I ask Monsieur Mellin if it is not good." "And I'll leave it to Cooley," said Pedlow. "If he can drink all of his I'll eat crow!" Thus challenged, the two young men smilingly accepted glasses from the waiter, and lifted them on high. "Same toast," said Cooley. "Queen!" "A la belle Marquise!" Gallantly they drained the glasses at a gulp, and Madame de Vaurigard clapped her hands.
