Naturally her illness has unmanned you. The scandal of the world need never trouble a good man." "But a merely middling-good man, M. Montaiglon," cried the Chamberlain; "you'll allow that's a difference. Lord knows I lay no claim to a crystal virtue! In this matter I have no regard for my own reputation, but just for that very reason I'm anxious about the lady's.
They drew back at a mutual spasm, and Montaiglon saw that his antagonist was the Baron of Doom! Doom, astounded, threw the dagger from him with an exclamation.
"M. Montaiglon," at last said the Chamberlain in a curious voice where feelings the most deep appeared to strive together, "yon's a tragedy, if you like." "Comment?" said the Count. He was not prepared for an opening quite like this. "Well," said the Chamberlain, "you saw it for yourself; you are not a mole like Petullo the husband. By God!
"Pulling corks is the most excellent training for such a warfare," and he set himself almost cheerfully to number four. But number four was not in the neck of the bottle: this ferment behind him propelled him out upon the stairhead, and Montaiglon, who had thrown himself upon him, fell with him on the floor. Both men recovered their feet at a spring.
"You are very hard on poor Montaiglon, Archie, and all because he fought a duel with a doubtful gentleman who will be little the worse for it in a week or two. Let us think," she went on banteringly "let us think what an atom of wind-blown dust is every human being at the best, admirable or evil as his training " Her husband stopped her with a kiss.
"I do not wonder, madame," said Montaiglon, "that the subject in this case should capitulate to to to the " "To the loving husband, you were about to say. La! you are too gallant, monsieur, I declare. And as a matter of fact the true explanation is less to my husband's credit and less flattering to me, for he had his own reasons." "One generally has," reflected the Count aloud.
I learn you met her on the stair last night. Well it would look droll, I dare say, to have encountered that way, and no word of her existence from me, but but but there has been a little disagreement between us. I hope I am a decently indulgent father, M. le Count, but " "You see before you one with great shame of his awkwardness, Baron," said Montaiglon.
To them, meeting the wounded form of the Chamberlain, the hour was tragic, and figured long at fireside stories after, acutely memorable for years. They passed astounded or turned to follow him, making their own affairs secondary to their interest in the state of one who, it was obvious even to Montaiglon, was deep in their affections.
"That's as Heaven, which arranges these things without consulting us, may have decided, my lord; on my honour, I had much preferred never to have set eyes on your Chamberlain." "Come, come!" said the Duke with a high head and slapping with open hand the table beside him "Come, come! I am not a fool, Montaiglon even at my age. You deliberately sought this unfortunate man."
"My name is De Montaiglon; I am newly from France; I " "Step your ways in, Monsher de Montaiglon," cried the little man with a salute more profound than before. "We're prood to see you, and hoo are they a' in France?" "Tolerably well, I thank you," said Count Victor, amused at this grotesque combination of military form and familiarity.
