"Not to my surprise, but to my great gratification, soon after this, the gentle Countess de Morny consented to become the Countess de Rossillon". "Surrounded by a joyous group of friends, one bright September morning, in the chapel of St. Marie, they were married, and then the priest united me to your father.
He said that just fifty years ago he went to Deauville with the Duc de Morny, Princesse Metternich, and the Comtesse de Pourteles to inaugurate the new watering-place, then of the simplest description. The ladies were badly lodged in a so-called hotel and he had a room in a fisherman's hut.
"Given at the Palace of the Elysée, 2d December, 1851. "DE MORNY, Minister of the Interior." The Cité Gaillard is somewhat difficult to find. It is a deserted alley in that new quarter which separates the Rue des Martyrs from the Rue Blanche. I found it, however. As I reached No. 4, Yvan came out of the gateway and said, "I am here to warn you.
"Another schooner, Joe?" cried Morny passionately. "The brig not finished? For some reason or another! What reason? What does it all mean?" "Be calm, my lad; be calm," cried the doctor. "In a very little while we shall know the worst, or the best. Mind, we know nothing as yet. It is all suspicion.
"It is quite a joke, that it is," continued Rodd. "It's just as if you were jealous and afraid that uncle and I would get beforehand with you, and win the credit of the discovery for old England, instead of you carrying it off for your la belle France." "Ah!" sighed Morny again, with a sad smile upon his lips. "You French chaps are so sentimental. La belle France indeed!
What I have always found is this that when you keep a very strict look-out nothing happens, and when you don't something does. Are you lads coming down?" "Not yet," said Rodd. "I suppose you will be going soon, won't you, Mr Morny?" said the skipper, who somehow always forgot their visitor's title. "I am expecting my father will be coming up soon to say it is time."
And what did your uncle say?" "Said I was a young scoundrel, and that if I wasn't so big, and that he disliked corporal punishment, he'd give me a good thrashing to bring me to my senses." "And you you " cried Morny, grasping him by the arm, "what did you say to that?" "Nothing at all. Only burst out laughing." "Burst out laughing?"
There, gentlemen, that's all I know, and if some one else the doctor here, or Mr Rodd, or Mr Morny, who is a French naval officer can give us a better way, I'll follow anywhere, and I know the lads will come after me like men." There was silence for about a minute, and then the doctor coughed, drawing all eyes upon him. "There is no better way," he said. "It's a splendid plan."
"And at last the day came," continued Morny, "and we made our attempt, but only to find that we were very closely guarded, and that soldiers were on the look-out in all directions; and in the attempt my father and I became separated, and I should have been taken if it had not been that " "Look here," cried Rodd, springing up, "there's Joe Cross signalling to me from the maintop.
"Droll of boy drole de garcon. C'est juste, n'est-ce pas?" "Oh, if you like," cried Rodd merrily; "but if you don't think those are the best parts of the story, which are?" "Ah!" said Morny thoughtfully.
