To my horror, hardly had I taken up my stand at the foot of the bed when Laporte returned; he muttered something as he entered about having left some important appliance behind, but I was quite convinced that he had been on the watch until milor was out of sight, and then slipped back in order to find me and Madame here alone.
"But I tell you it is impossible," she retorted; "I have an Englishman here, very rich, a milor, and he will not hear of any person from Ville-en-bois resting in the house. Go away to the Lion d'or, my good friend, where there are no English. They are as afraid of the fever as of the devil."
But already Sir Percy Blakeney had, with one of his characteristic cheery words, dissipated the atmosphere of tearful emotion which oppressed these kindly folk. "Now, Papa Lenegre," he said lightly, "tell me why you wore such a solemn air when you let me in just now." "Because, milor," replied the old man quietly, "that d d concierge, Jean Baptiste, is a black-hearted traitor."
In age she may be somewhat about twenty a year or so more or less and has a face as haunting as a Medusa's; not, however, a face to turn a man into a stone, but rather of the two turn a stone into a man. A clear paleness, with a bloom like an alabaster lamp with the light flashing through. I borrow that illustration from Sare Scott, who applied it to Milor Bee-ren."
"Despardieux, milor," said the Chevalier, "if he had stayed one moment, he should have had a torchon what you call a dishclout, pinned to him for a piece of shroud, to show he be de ghost of one grand fanfaron."
It was now coming the hour to leave Toledo, and we drove back to our enchanted castle for our bill, and for the omnibus to the station. I thought for some time that there was no charge for the fire, or even the smoke we had the night before, but my eyes were holden from the item which I found later, by seeing myself addressed as Milor.
For a moment she remained motionless; and then she saw the escape of Dacres, and Hawbury going down in the grasp of his assailants. She gave a loud shriek and rushed forward. But Girasole intercepted her. "Go back," he said. "De milor is my prisoner. Back, or you will be bound." And at a gesture from him two of the men advanced to seize Ethel. "Back!" he said, once more, in a stern voice.
The genius loci, the Chevalier himself, was not the last to welcome this prime stay and ornament of his establishment. He came shuffling forward with a hundred apish conges and chers milors, to express his happiness at seeing Lord Dalgarno again. "I hope you do bring back the sun with you, Milor You did carry away the sun and moon from your pauvre Chevalier when you leave him for so long.
I confess my recognition of him was not so joyful as on the day ten years earlier, when he had come, bedizened with lace and gold rings, to see us at C school: a man in the tenth part of a century learns a deal of worldly wisdom, and his hand, which goes naturally forward to seize the gloved finger of a millionnaire, or a milor, draws instinctively back from a dirty fist, encompassed by a ragged wristband and a tattered cuff.
At length one day Coningsby met Madame Colonna in the vestibule before dinner. 'Milor is in such good temper, Mr. Coningsby, she said; 'Monsieur de Sidonia has arrived. About ten minutes before dinner there was a stir in the chamber. Coningsby looked round. He saw the Grand-duke advancing, and holding out his hand in a manner the most gracious.
