Then, almost stifling, she fled into the dining-room, that she might hide her despair. The Abbe followed her. Monsieur Rambaud had at once started up to engage the child's attention. "Oh dear! mamma cried out! Has she hurt herself?" she asked. "Your mamma?" he answered. "No, she didn't cry out; she was laughing because you are feeling so well."
Madame Deberle and Malignon had now grown interested, and had stepped under the trees. Malignon declared the lady to be very bold. "I should faint, I'm sure," said Madame Deberle, with a frightened air. Helene heard them, for she dropped these words from among the branches: "Oh, my heart is all right! Give a stronger push, Monsieur Rambaud!" And indeed her voice betrayed no emotion.
In addition to the amount necessary for interest on this debt, and for a provision for its gradual repayment, the order had various expenses to meet. For these purposes it taxed itself to an amount of more than ten million livres a year. On the other hand it received back from the king a subsidy of two and a half million livres. Sciout, i. 35. Boiteau, 195. Rambaud, ii. 44.
Standing upright, she began to swing, almost touching the ground, and as if rocking herself to sleep. "Quicker! quicker!" she exclaimed. Monsieur Rambaud, with his hands ready, caught the seat as it came back to him, and gave it a more vigorous push. Helene went higher, each ascent taking her farther.
I have been uncomfortable ever since I gave it to you; and I came to ask you for it that I might keep it safe in my own hands. But the document is lost, am I to understand that Francis has it?" "Not yet! But Rambaud has it, and Rambaud and Francis are as thick as thieves." "I don't know Rambaud. The name is unfamiliar." "He has a dozen names one for every capital.
Full and broad-shouldered, Monsieur Rambaud entered, displaying an expansive countenance like that of a country notary. His forty-five years had already silvered his hair, but his large blue eyes retained a wondering, artless, gentle expression, akin to a child's. "And here's his reverence; everybody has come now!" resumed Rosalie, as she opened the door once more.
One of the most prominent exponents of the untenable view that the mediævals traced all value to labour is the Abbé Hohoff, whose argument that there was a divorce between value and just price in the scholastic writings, is ably controverted by Rambaud, who remarks that nobody would have been more surprised than Aquinas himself at the suggestion that he was the forerunner of Karl Marx.
This book was the one she used every night as a shade for the night-lamp, the only volume which she had taken within eighteen months from the small but irreproachable library selected by Monsieur Rambaud. Novels usually seemed to her false to life and puerile; and this one, Sir Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe," had at first wearied her to death.
One thing that helped in providing a nice harmonious working atmosphere was the obvious warm affection of Cowperwood for his wife. While many might consider Aileen a little brash or crude, still in the hands of so strong and capable a man as Cowperwood she might prove available. So thought Mrs. Addison, for instance, and Mrs. Rambaud. McKibben and Lord felt the same way.
As their offices were in the gift of the king, and as no discipline was enforced upon them, they were chiefly to be found in the antechambers of Versailles and in the drawing-rooms of Paris. These appear to have been most of the rich abbeys. There were also abbayes regulieres, where the abbot was elected by the brethren. Rambaud, ii. 53.
