His vexation upon finding that nothing upon which he had reckoned was provided, may be imagined. He at once wrote to the King, in order to contradict all that he had recently written. This conduct of Orry his impudence, I may say in deceiving a man who immediately after would have under his eyes the proof of his deceit, is a thing past all comprehension.
As a natural consequence, Macanas was disgraced. He and Orry had orders to leave Spain, the latter without seeing the King. He carried with him the maledictions of the public.
She caused Orry to be reinstated in his former functions, at the same time that one of her most dangerous enemies, the father Daubenton, received an order to quit Madrid, where his restless nullity had lost itself in a maze of intrigues.
How did I get here?" "You got here, Orry, because the Boches downed you right over our front trench at this angle, which is nearer the Boche line than anywhere in this sector. We didn't even know that the enemy had dug a covered trench to the far side of the bluff on the river bank until you let us know by dropping bombs on them.
The Abbe, vain of his family and of his position, was not a man much to be feared as it seemed. Madame des Ursins accordingly laughed at and despised him. He was admitted to the council, but was quite without influence there, and when he attempted to make any representations to Madame des Ursins or to Orry, they listened to him without attending in the least to what he said.
Say, old man, we've got to go out and see what's gone wrong with that little snipe Orry, eh?" " Sure thing! Orry is a good fellow. I'm with you." The next instant Blaine was back in his seat. He turned to the mechanic who had just finished examining the machine. "Fill up the tank, Bill," he said. "And hand me out a few more sheaves of ammunition. Sure you've got enough, too, Buck?"
He dared not turn to Blaine's relief. He did not know yet if the sheaf thrown him would fit his own machine gun. But first he must dip, circle, come up underneath and try his luck. As has been said, Orry was no novice. He had flown at the front for months as one of the Lafayette Escadrille. Before that he had worked his way up in aerial mechanics in the United States and also here in France.
Deception Practised by Orry. Anger of Louis XIV. Dismissal of Madame des Ursins. Her Intrigues to Return. Annoyance of the King and Queen of Spain. Intrigues at Versailles. Triumphant Return of Madame des Ursins to Court. Baseness of the Courtiers. Her Return to Spain Resolved On. An Honest Courtier. Robbery of Courtin and Fieubet. An Important Affair. My Interview with the King.
To his further amazement, Erwin, now quite recovered, rose up, got out, and though weak tied the Boche hard and fast under Blaine's direction. "Now, Orry," said Lafe, looking his comrade over carefully, "are you right enough to take our machine back?" "Bet your sweet life I am!" Orry's face was still pale, while blood was coagulated in his curly short hair. "I'm all right, Lafe.
"The chap who went out just now is Stanley. He is my observer. But our machine is smashed now and how we will all get back is more than I know. Eh, Orry?" "Looks that way. But what's the use of worrying while we are in such charming company? I'm all right." And to prove it Erwin stepped out on the floor, a little teetery perhaps, but once more himself. He made a not ungraceful bow.
