Rance approach with an instant failure to attach to the fact any grossness of avidity of Mrs. Rance's own or at least to descry any triumphant use even for the luridest impression of her intensity. What was virtually supreme would be her vision of his having attempted, by his desertion of the library, to mislead her which in point of fact barely escaped being what he had designed.
"Well, the boys had better look to their watches. I met that lady once." Ashby shot him a look of inquiry. "She's looking to that five thousand reward for Ramerrez," he told him. Rance's interest was growing by leaps and bounds though he continued to riffle the cards. "What? She's after that?" "Sure thing.
The interruption came from the Girl as she pushed him lightly out of her way; then, perching herself up on one end of the faro table, at which Johnson had taken a seat, she ventured: "Say, Mr. Johnson, do you know what I think o' you?" Johnson eyed her uncertainly, while Rance's eyes blazed as she blurted out: "Well, I think you staked out a claim in a etiquette book."
I chose to go down to Wiccombe, and to JOHN RANCE's house there: both as he was a physician, and his wife a honest, hearty, discreet, and grave matron, whom I had a very good esteem of; and who, I knew, had a good regard for me.
Rance's having been literally beheld of them; and it was now for them, positively, as if their handful of flowers since Mrs. Rance was a handful! had been but the vehicle of a dangerous snake. Mr. Verver fairly felt in the air the Miss Lutches' imputation in the intensity of which, really, his own propriety might have been involved.
Touching the fate of De Rancé's rival when Louis XIV. returned to Paris in 1652, the Duke de Beaufort submitted to the royal authority, and took no further part in the civil war, which the Prince de Condé carried on for several years longer. Later, the Duke obtained the command of the royal fleet. In 1664 and 1665, he was at the head of several expeditions against the African corsairs.
Among the different versions of this catastrophe, Laroque asserts that, after an absence on a long journey, on De Rancé's return, he called at the Hôtel Montbazon, and then learned, for the first time, the death of the Duchess; that he was shown into her room, where, to his horror, the headless body lay in its coffin.

Goaded beyond endurance by Rance's taunting of the unconscious man, the Girl, fumbling in her bosom for her pistol, turned upon him in a sudden, cold fury: "You better stop that laughin', Jack Rance, or I'll send you to finish it in some place where things ain't so funny." Something in the Girl's altered tone so struck the Sheriff that he obeyed her.
She paused, an odd expression coming over her face, an expression that baffled Rance's power to read. Presently she resumed: "Now, you asked me to-night if my answer was final, well, here's your chance. I'll play you the game, straight poker. It's two out o' three for me. Hatin' the sight o' you, it's the nearest chance you'll ever get for me."
