The date of the record, it will be observed, is in the spring of the year following that in which the king made his progress through Lancashire, and stayed for some time at Nottingham on his return southward. The office of valet, or porteur de la chambre, in those days, was probably similar to that of the present groom of the chamber, and if so, was a highly respectable and confidential post.
"Mr. Francis," suggested Owen, in his timid and conciliatory manner, "cannot have forgotten, that by an arret of the King of France, dated 1st May 1700, it was provided that the porteur, within ten days after due, must make demand" "Mr. Francis," said my father, interrupting him, "will, I dare say, recollect for the moment anything you are so kind as hint to him.
It's simply disgraceful. They ought to have women officials and private rooms at these places. And they would have, if women had the vote. Let him open one of your trunks. All your things are new." The porteur had meanwhile been discharging French into Audrey's other ear. "Of course you must open it, Winnie," said she. "Don't be so absurd!"
One after the other, the young widow and the elderly spinster, their purses bulging with money, got their packages by great efforts down on to the platform. An employee strolled past. "Porteur?" murmured Audrey timidly. The man sniggered, shrugged his shoulders, and vanished. Audrey felt that she had gone back to her school days. She was helpless, and Miss Ingate was the same.
There was a persuasive lightness in her voice, but there was also command. For a moment she was the perfect widow. "I'd rather not." "The porteur says we shall be here all night," Audrey persisted. "Do you know French?" "I learnt French at school, Winnie," said the perfect widow. "I can't understand every word, but I can make out the drift."
That of Caesarion was there also, as she must have known; but Cleopatra's son was never referred to by her reincarnation, who chose to ignore the Caesar incident. Mrs. East had not yet deigned to mount a donkey, but to reach the temple she must do so or walk, or sway in a dangerous looking chaise a porteur.
