Les quatres dames were in the restaurant car. Why? Ah, it was the Arab they had engaged as dragoman, who had advised the change in milord's absence. He said it would be better, as of course they would want dinner. He himself was looking after the small baggages, except the little sacks of the hand which the maids kept. What, the ladies had engaged a dragoman!
And his divinity smiled back at him, and threw him a kiss, which pleased him mightily. "You must have hurt milord's feelings pretty bad," Dick remarked. "I couldn't get him to come. He had to write a letter first, he said." "I wish, Dick," Beatrice answered, a bit petulantly, "you would stop calling him milord." "Milord's a good name," Dick contended.
Leonard's to see her 'professed'; and Milord's description of Lady Sarah's and Lady Jane's ill-humour was considered very amusing, and just as he was about to recount some new incident one that had escaped his memory till then the door opened and the servant announced Dr. Reed. 'Now, what can he want? Olive is quite well. He looks at her tongue and feels her pulse. How do you do, Dr. Reed?
"A gentleman a countryman of milord's has been here these three days awaiting him." For a little while Crispin sat quite still, stripped of his last rag of hope. Then suddenly bracing himself, he sprang up, despite his weakness. "Bring him to me. I will see him at once." "Tout-a-l'heure, monsieur," replied the landlord. "At the moment he is absent.
The Jungfrau, Mount Blanc, Mount Cervin, and Mount Rosa, piled one upon the other, would make at best but a stepping-stone to it. Judge, then, of Milord's transports in the presence of this giant, whose hoary head was lost in the clouds! They might rob him of Chimborazo, but Tschamalouri was his.
Mousseline would be more euphonious, a fuller, richer word; and Bal Blanc, besides being more picturesque, would convey my meaning; but a shade of meaning is not sufficient justification for the use of French titles or words, for they lessen the taste of our language; we don't get the smack, and Milord's epigrams poisoned my memory of A Drama in Muslin.
When I come, you was away already, so I speak to them, and say if I could help, I be very pleased. When I tell one of the ladies I was from a friend of milord's with a letter, she say, is the friend's name Captain Fenton, and I say 'yes, madame, Captain Fenton, that is the name; and I am a dragoman to show Egypt to the strangers.
Milord's circumspection was highly approved by my lady. "But poor Toby, now that his precise position in insular zoology had been called in question, found himself hopelessly out of place. At that time Godefroid had blossomed out at the French Embassy in London, where he learned the adventures of Toby, Joby, Paddy.
As he was retiring, a heavy step sounded on the stair, accompanied by the clank of a scabbard against the baluster. "Here comes milord's countryman," the landlord announced. And Crispin, looking up in apprehension, saw framed in the doorway the burly form of Harry Hogan. He sat bolt upright, staring as though he beheld an apparition.
Was there anything so strange about that? And I told him you were leasing the Pine Ridge country, and he looked well, peculiar. But he wouldn't say anything." "Well, he had good reason for looking peculiar. But you needn't have told him I did it, Trix. Lay that at milord's door, where it belongs. I don't want Keith to blame me." "But why should he blame anybody? It isn't his land, is it?"
