Landry followed him to announce the visitor, Berenger waiting to know whether the Ambassador would be at liberty to see him. Almost immediately the door was re-opened, and a keen-looking gentleman, about six-and-thirty years of age, rather short in stature, but nevertheless very dignified-looking, came forward with out-stretched hands 'Greet you well, my Lord de Ribaumont. We expected your coming.
I re-opened the trunk, to see if I had replaced it; I searched every corner of the room, but all in vain; nowhere could I discover the thing I sought. What had become of it? The question was a delicate one, which I did not like to put to the young ladies of the truly respectable establishment; still, the loss was great, and at that moment very inconvenient.
Sheba thought he was gone, but a moment later the door re-opened and he thrust his head in and spoke, not intrusively simply as if offering a suggestion which might prove of interest. "It begun with a 'L," he said; "thar was a name on it, and it begun with a 'L'." It was upon the evening after this interview with Mr.
It was not his part to see the soldiers embark. It was neither his part, nor his inclination, nor his policy. His part, his inclination, and his policy were united in one endeavour to keep unchecked the flow of treasure he had started single-handed from the re-opened scar in the flank of the mountain.
