But I'm wandering away from the girl. She is as unlike Ellaline de Nesville as one beautifully bound first volume of a human document can be from another equally attractive. "First volume of a human document" isn't inexpressive of a young girl, is it?
She trembled violently; a wolf howled on the distant hill. "I shall gallop back to the Château de Nesville with you," he said; "I shall be close beside you, riding by your carriage-window. Don't tremble so Mademoiselle de Nesville." "It is terrible," she stammered; "I never knew I was a coward." "You are anxious for your father," he said, quietly; "you are no coward!" "I am I tremble see!
However, he did not fear trouble again; the French armies were moving everywhere on the frontier, and the spies, of course, had long ago betaken themselves and their projects to the other bank of the Rhine. The Marquis de Nesville himself felt perfectly secure, now that the attempt had been made and had failed.
In one of these prowls he discovered a toad staring at the camp-fire, and he drew his sword with a furious gesture, as though no living toad were good enough to intrude on the Châtelaine of the Château de Nesville; but the toad hopped away, and Tricasse unbent his brows and resumed his agitated prowl.
Seventy years ago they were seen before the battle of Colmar. That was the last time. And now they appear again." "I may have been mistaken," he said, hastily; "those shaggy sheep-dogs from the Moselle are very much like timber-wolves in colour. Tell me, Mademoiselle de Nesville, why should you believe that we are going to have a war?
He went armed; he carried a long Colt's six-shooter in his holster, not because he feared for his own skin, but he thought it just as well to be ready in case of trouble at the Château de Nesville.
The line of battle stretched from the Château Morteyn, parallel with the river and the park wall, to the Château de Nesville; and along this line the officers were riding all day, muffled to the chin in their great-coats, crimson caps soaked, rain-drops gathering in brilliant beads under the polished visors.
It meant more to Jack Marche, riding one sultry afternoon through the woods, idly drumming on his spurred boots with a battered riding-crop. It was his daily afternoon ride to the Château de Nesville; the shy wood creatures were beginning to know him, even the younger rabbits of the most recent generation sat up and mumbled their prehensile lips, watching him with large, moist eyes.
"Then," said Jack, "there are two things left for me to do go to Paris, which I can't unless Mademoiselle de Nesville goes, or join some franc-tireur corps and give the German army as good as they send. If you Uhlans think," he continued, violently, "that you're coming into France to hang and shoot and raise hell without getting hell in return, you're a pack of idiots!"
I was the Herald's representative at Sadowa, and before that I saw some Kabyles shot in Oran. Where are you going?" "To the river. We can hear the carriage when it comes, and I want to see the lights of the Château de Nesville." "From the river? Can you?" "Yes the trees are cut away north of the boat-house. Look! I told you so. My father is there alone."
