Quentins had ever the most abundant faith in those they loved. I remembered how Monsieur in just such a blaze of resentment had forbidden me to speak ill of his son. And I remembered, too, that Monsieur's faith had been justified and that my accusations were lies. Natheless, I liked not the look of this affair, and I attempted further warnings. "Monsieur, in my opinion "
Quentins were slender, ladylike girls, much alike, and rendered more so by an exact similarity of costume. Their governess was a very charming and talented woman, and when Mrs. St. Quentin proposed that Matilda and I should share her daughters' French lessons under Miss Airlie, Major Buller and Aunt Theresa thankfully accepted the offer.
Quentins rank with the saints." "You you are a hired servant. You come to Monsieur as you might come to anybody. With the Broux it is different," I retorted angrily. Yet I could not but know in my heart that any hired servant might have served Monsieur better than I. My boasted loyalty what was it but lip-service? I said more humbly: "Pshaw! it is no great matter. Tell me about the quarrel."
Lucas, since his one unlucky outburst, had said never a word but stood looking on with a ruefulness of visage that it warmed the cockles of my heart to see. Certes, he was in no very pleasant corner, this dear M. Paul. His mistress had heard his own lips describe his plot against the St. Quentins; there was no possibility of lying himself clear of it.
And, though their well-to-do friends were beginning to talk of new model cars and going abroad once more, the Quentins continued to be hard up. David seemed to have struck a dead level. One month business would be pretty good; the next he would make almost nothing. But the average was always the same, and always a little less than they spent.
Therefore do I purpose never to give over striving after my lady." "Oh, we'll win her by noon. But first we'll sleep. There's Félix yawning his head off. Come, come." We set off along the alley, the St. Quentins arm in arm, I at their heels. Monsieur looked over his shoulder with a sudden anxiety. "Félix, you said Huguet had run for aid?"
He said you would clap me in jail, and he told me flat I might rot my life out there before he would give up to you Mlle. de Montluc." "Well, then, pardieu, we'll try if he means it!" "He gave me to understand that he meant it. The St. Quentins out of the way, there is Valère, stout Kingsman, to succeed. The king loses little." "Then are you gone mad that you put yourself in my grasp?"
The worry creases between men's eyes were being ironed out. A few who had money, taking advantage of cheap labor and materials, began to build. Dick Holden came home, with a trunkful of presents for his friends and another of English clothes for himself, and at once became busy. The Quentins were still hanging on "by a frog's hair," David said. But they had paid. It always costs to survive.
"Robert likes her and Robert is a good judge of a woman. That's one thing. Then I believe Dick is going to take St. Quentins; isn't that so, Dick?" "Yes," answered Dick. "That's the house we looked over yesterday." "Well, it's not a couple of a hundred yards from us, and it would not be comfortable for any of us if Dick and Dick's wife were strangers. So I give in. There, Dick!"
Quentins." "He should have no need in this house." We jumped up to find Vigo standing behind us. "What have you been saying of Monsieur?" "Nothing, M. Vigo," stammered the page. "I only said M. le Comte " "You are not to discuss M. le Comte. Do you hear?" "Yes, M. Vigo." "Then obey. And you, Félix, I shall have a little interview with you shortly." "As you will, M. Vigo," I said hopelessly.
