So as a remembrance of their pleasant time together Spotswood gave each of his companions a gold horseshoe set with precious stones for nails. Graven upon them were the Latin words, Sic juvat transcendere montes which mean, "Thus it is a pleasure to cross the mountains." Later all those who took part in the expedition were called Knights of the Golden Horseshoe.
Montes had dropped into his chair again, when Josepha gently touched his forehead, and looked at du Tillet as he said: "If I am the victim of a Paris jest, if you only wanted to get at my secret " and he sent a flashing look round the table, embracing all the guests in a flaming glance that blazed with the sun of Brazil, "I beg of you as a favor to tell me so," he went on, in a tone of almost childlike entreaty; "but do not vilify the woman I love."
So Medea in Ovid's Metamorphoses, Stantia concutio cantu freta; nubila pello, Nubilaque induco, ventos abigoque, vocoque; Vivaque faxa sua convulsaque robora terra Et sylvas moveo; jubeoque tremiscere montes, Et mugire solum, manesque exire sepulchris.
"Which shall I be when the time comes Madame Crevel, or Madame Montes?" "Crevel will not last more than ten years, such a profligate as he is," replied Lisbeth. "Montes is young. Crevel will leave you about thirty thousand francs a year. Let Montes wait; he will be happy enough as Benjamin.
Ptolemy, a geographer who lived in the second century, and was not a king of Egypt, with the most ancient maps made the Nile rise from the "Montes Lunae," between ten and twelve south lat., by six several streams which flowed north into two Lakes, situated east and west of each other. These streams flowed about west of his river Rhapta, or Raptus, which is probably our Rovuma or Louma.
"Well, then," replied du Tillet, "I have the honor to tell you that I am asked to the Crevel wedding." "Ah, ha! Combabus holds a brief for Madame Marneffe!" said Josepha, rising solemnly. She went round to Montes with a tragic look, patted him kindly on the head, looked at him for a moment with comical admiration, and nodded sagely.
"Anno Dom. millesimo quadringentesimo undecimo, in vigilia sancti Jacobi Apostoli, conflictus de Harlaw in Marria, ubi Dovenaldus de Insulis cum decem millibus de insulanis et hominibus suis de Ross hostiliter intravit terram cis montes, omnia conculcans et depopulans, ac in vastitatem redigens; sperens in illa expeditione villam regiam de Abirdene spoliare, et consequenter usque ad aquam de Thya suae subjicere ditioni.
"Nay; the proof that he did not love is that she is still alive I will not leave her living for anybody else, if she is not wholly mine." Montes was terrible to behold. He bellowed, he stormed; he broke everything he touched; rosewood was as brittle as glass. "How he destroys things!" said Carabine, looking at the old woman.
The accompanist in this case was Goyo Montes, a little thick-set gaucho with round staring blue eyes set in a round pinky- brown face, and the tune agreed on was one known as La Lechera the Milkmaid.
One house had been set on fire, and near this a man in an officer's uniform was standing. He heard the report of Harry's and Bertie's capture. "English sportsmen, eh! How long have you been shooting?" he asked. "Eight months." "Eight months! Then guard them securely, Montes; they are doubtless rich Englishmen, and we shall get a good ransom for them.
