This was really the first practical demonstration of the possibilities of the mechanical propulsion of balloons. Several adaptations of the Giffard idea followed, and in 1883 Renard and Krebs, in a fusiform ship, driven by an electric motor, attained a speed of fifteen miles an hour.
He promised her, however, that if it should happen that the validity of this marriage was afterwards called in question, they were to be married again according to French law. As a matter of fact, as soon as she reached France, Mme. Renard became Mlle. Judith once more.
When the desert was served Philippe rose and said: "Fill your glasses, my friends! I ask permission to propose the first toast." "He said my friends, don't fill your glass," whispered Renard to Max. Max poured out some wine. "To the Grand Army!" cried Philippe, with genuine enthusiasm. "To the Grand Army!" was repeated with acclamation by every voice.
Will he dare to tell the hot-blooded Scotsman that his children are left without a guide, though Magua promised to be one?" "Though the gray head has a loud voice, and a long arm, Le Renard will not hear him, nor feel him, in the woods." "But what will the Mohawks say?
Savarin did not thus estimate Gustave Rameau, thought him a clever, promising young writer in a very bad school of writing, who might do well some day or other. But that a Rameau could help a Savarin to make a fortune! No; at that idea he opened his eyes, patted his wife's shoulder, and called her "enfant." Graham's letter was from M. Renard, and ran thus:
The chief, who was born a Huron, was at last a warrior among the Mohawks!" "Something like this I had heard before," said Cora, observing that he paused to suppress those passions which began to burn with too bright a flame, as he recalled the recollection of his supposed injuries. "Was it the fault of Le Renard that his head was not made of rock?
Renard, I really don't see how that scheme will work." "Work! It will work to a charm. You will see. Henri, just help the ladies, will you?" Henri, with decisive gravity, was helping the ladies to alight; in another instant he had regained his seat, and he and Renard were flying down the roadway, out of sight. "Really it's the coolest proceeding," Charm began.
"Madame has said it" Henri was a fatalist in his speech, at least, he lived up to his creed. "Honfleur is far Monsieur Renard has not the good digestion when he is tired he suffers. Il passe des nuits d'angoisse. Il souffre des fatigues de l'estomac. Il se fatigue aujourd'hui!"
The next morning Graham sent again for M. Renard. "Well," he cried, when that dignitary appeared and took a seat beside him, "chance has favoured me." "I always counted on chance, Monsieur. Chance has more wit in its little finger than the Paris police in its whole body." "I have ascertained the relations, on the mother's side, of Louise Duval, and the only question is how to get at them."
To risk his anger or irritate him was altogether too dangerous; so that even his best friends had never joked him about the Rabouilleuse. When they talked of his liaison with the girl before Major Potel and Captain Renard, with whom he lived on intimate terms, Potel would reply, "If he is the natural brother of Jean-Jacques Rouget where else would you have him live?"
