The wonder is, that, after alighting on a flower-bed of so delicious fragrance and immortal bloom, they should have been content to fly down again to their hive in Philemon's garden. Never was such honey tasted, seen, or smelt.
"To make it all clear," I pursued, "I must go back to the time I rejoined James in Philemon's room. He had finished his letter when I entered and was standing with it, sealed, in his hand. I may have cast it a disdainful glance.
"Don't you think that M. Philemon will scold me on his return?" "Scold you! what for?" "Because of his rooms, that you occupy." "Why, Mother Arsene, did not Philemon tell you, that, in his absence, I was to be as much mistress of his two rooms as I am of himself?" "I do not speak of you, but of your friend Cephyse, whom you have also brought to occupy M. Philemon's lodgings."
"And where would she have gone without me, my good Mother Arsene? Since her lover was arrested, she has not dared to return home, because she owes ever so many quarters. Seeing her troubles. I said to her: 'Come, lodge at Philemon's. When he returns, we must find another place for you." "Well, little lovey if you only assure me that M. Philemon will not be angry " "Angry! for what?
"My thanks to ye, Lady Washington," said the squire, once the introduction was made, "but I have broken fast already, and have merely come to intercede with his Excellency on a sad matter." In the fewest possible words he explained Philemon's situation. "The lad assures me that he came but to serve me, and with never a thought of spying," he ended.
But I am forgetting. Thou hast a soldier cousin, Andrew." "He is my brother," explained Primrose with curious dignity. "And I do not like him to be a King's soldier." Andrew gave a long whistle of amazement, and studied Primrose so keenly that she flushed. "Thy brother? Of course, then, being Uncle Philemon's son he is my cousin. Is he not Lord somebody?" "He is Captain Nevitt.
Cephyse left the shop, reclosed the door as well as she could, went up the passage, and crossed the little court-yard which separated the front of the building from that part in which Rodin had lodged. With the exception of the windows of Philemon's apartment, where Rose-Pompon had so often sat perched like a bird, warbling Beranger, the other windows of the house were open.
"Oh, dear!" said the greengrocer in amazement; "it is like a glass trumpet." "It is Philemon's grand gala-glass, which they gave him when he took his degrees in boating," said Rose-Pompon, gravely. "And to think you must put your milk in it I am really ashamed," said Mother Arsene.
And then what a delicious fragrance the milk had! It seemed as if Philemon's only cow must have pastured, that day, on the richest herbage that could be found anywhere in the world. I only wish that each of you, my beloved little souls, could have a bowl of such nice milk, at supper time! "And now a slice of your brown loaf, Mother Baucis," said Quicksilver, "and a little of that honey!"
Though my jealousy was aroused and I hated the letter he was about to write, I did not see how I could refuse him; so after receiving such credentials as he himself carried, and getting full instructions how to proceed, I left him writing at Philemon's table and hastened down the hall to the door he had pointed out.
