The boat did not attempt to follow us, and thus ended our communication with le Polisson and her people, a that time.
"Nelly," he commanded, "run and find your mamma, and tell her that Mr. Polisson from New Orleans an old classmate of papa's, will be here to tea. That's a good girl. Polisson, put on your hat and let's go round the place. I want to show you what an establishment I've got here."
Thanks to them, I discovered a joke played upon me by my 'polisson'. He told me to call him 'ma drogha, saying it meant 'my friend, in Polish. I innocently did so, and he seemed to find great pleasure in it, for his eyes always laughed when I said it. Using it one day before the other lads, I saw a queer twinkle in their eyes, and suspecting mischief, demanded the real meaning of the words.
A desperate determination gleamed in his eyes. This crowning outrage! He, a nobleman! to suffer himself to be bound ignominiously by some low polisson of a raffish mushroom country! It was inconceivable. "Jamais!" he repeated. "Ah, well!" said Mr. Heatherbloom resignedly. "Nevertheless, I shall make the attempt to do what I propose, and if you resist "
"Ah!" he exclaimed, directly. "Polisson, old man, upon my conscience I'm glad to see you, but I didn't know you till you spoke. You've been having the yellow fever, haven't you? Come in come into the house." We passed in through the porch, which was covered with sweet-pea vines trained on strings, and entered the library, where Berkeley resumed his coat.
But Dumont, though erected by circumstances into a tyrant, is not sanguinary he is by nature and education passionate and gross, and in other times might only have been a good natured Polisson. Hitherto he has contented himself with alarming, and making people tired of their lives, but I do not believe he has been the direct or intentional cause of anyone's death.
The judge was an old Waheer belonged to the time-honored aristocracy of the place, having been here at least fifteen years before I came. I married his daughter Alice in 1875. She is a Western girl, but she was educated at Vassar. We have two boys. If you ever come out our way, Polisson, you must put up with us for as long as you can stay.
There was amazement in the crowd outside the tower, and consternation, and then anger. "Marcel," they shouted, "you there? MAUDIT POLISSON! Come out of that. Let us in. You told us " "I know," answered Marcel, "but I was mistaken, that is all. I stand by Mademoiselle Fortin. What she says is right. If any man tries to break in here, we kill him. No more talk!"
"Mon Dieu! where have I gone in sinning! I am a polisson, as I say each day, but not a villain, I swear to you. Say to me that which I have made of wrong, and I will do penance." "You told me 'Ma drogha' was the Polish for 'My pupil, and let me call you so a long time; I am wiser now," replied Amy, with great dignity.
But how long would you beggars live here without making the least effort to look them out, and meanwhile put up with the same old every-day bores like me, or Polisson here? And it's the same way with marriage. A fellow blunders into matrimony with the first attractive girl that gives him the opportunity.
