It was one of those filigree balls of gold wrought into openwork, about the size of a walnut, that fine ladies used to wear swung from a chain or ribbon and call a pomander. The toy held a chosen perfume or essence supposed to be reviving in case miladi felt a swoon or megrim about to overwhelm her; as ladies did in past centuries and do no longer.
M. Ralph had spent weeks on exploring expeditions. If there was any danger in this, she did not heed it. She held up her face to be kissed, and he noted how dry and parched the lips were. He gave a brief good-bye to Rose, who was standing near. "Surely, he does not care for women," Miladi thought exultingly. "Even her fresh, young beauty is nothing to him. He has no tender, eager soul."
The child was really fascinated with the enjoyment. Miladi would dress up in one of her pretty gowns to the child's great delight, and they would invent wonderful figures. Sometimes the two men would join them, and they would keep up the amusement till midnight. Pani was growing rapidly and he was their most devoted knight.
The Duchesse de Melun would say to the Marquise de Roquemartine: "Who is that young person? She looks exactly like someone I know that little Lys d'Angely the millionaire-man, Charretier, is so silly about." "You see, you can alter it very easily," said Lady Turnour. "Yes, miladi." "Have you got any dancing slippers?" "No that is I don't know " "Don't be stupid.
"Miladi is much vexed with you, little one. She had supper sent to her room and M. Boullé was there. They wanted you and M. Destournier. There was to be a I do not know what you call it, but he wanted you to promise to be his wife, for he goes to Tadoussac to-morrow." Rose's heart beat with a guilty joy. "I should not promise that. I do not want to be a wife."
He quitted the room as he spoke, and Lady Isabel remained in it, the image of despair. Nearly an hour elapsed when she remembered the breakfast things, and rang for them to be removed. A maid-servant entered to do it, and she thought how ill miladi looked. "Where is Pierre?" miladi asked. "Pierre was making himself ready to attend monsieur to England."
Every one has enemy; you will learn all that so soon as you are little older, and without cause she is mine. Come, Maud, speak a the truth was it not miladi Knollys who sent you here doucement, doucement, so quaite to my door is it not so, little rogue? Madame had confronted me again, and we were now standing in the middle of her floor.
But Montreal will be a finer town at much less cost." Rose was fain to refuse at the last moment, but M'sieu Ralph persuaded. The few women of any note were gathered in the room miladi had first occupied. Rose looked curiously at the daughter of M. Hébert she was so much taller than she used to be, and her hair was put up on her head with a big comb.
Yes, yes, we will dupe them both. "In this fashion she chattered and muttered feverishly for some minutes, till I grew alarmed, and taking her by the shoulders, tried to shake back the senses into her distracted brain. `What ails you, foolish old woman? cried I `I am not "miladi;" I am your parish pastor.
It was a cold little kiss from lips that hardly moved. Miladi laughed with a pretty, amused ripple. "In good sooth," she said merrily, "some lover will teach you to kiss presently. Thou art growing very pretty, Rose, and when some of the gallants come over from Paris, they will esteem the foundling of Quebec the heroine of romance."
