'Gen'leman's parole's all I ask. But Mr. Archer was proof against these blandishments, and said farewell gravely enough to Lord Windermoor, shaking his hand and at the same time bowing very low.
"Gen'leman's parole's all I ask." But Mr. Archer was proof against these blandishments, and said farewell gravely enough to Lord Windermoor, shaking his hand and at the same time bowing very low. "You will never know," says he, "the service you have done me."
Bear in mind Monsieur Parole's favourite proverb, `On ne peut pas faire une omelette sans casser les oeufs! You mustn't expect that a girl is going to drop into your mouth, like a ripe cherry, the moment you gape for her! Young ladies are not so easily won as that, Master Frank, let me tell you! Put your shoulder to the wheel, my boy! You will have to work and wait.
Monsieur Parole's story was a good lesson to me. I saw that he who had had grief as great, and greater than mine, for I knew that Min loved me and was constant had concealed it so that none who looked on his round merry face, would have supposed him capable of a deep emotion; while, I, on the contrary, had paraded my little anxieties, like a fool!
