He may arrive in the morning, or some time to-morrow; there is no saying." "Oh, I'm sure he will come if he remembers," said Verena. "That's just it, Renny. How long will he remember? Sometimes I think he has a fossil inside of him instead of a heart. But there! I must not abuse him to you, my dear." "He is really a most loving father," said Verena; "that is, when he remembers.
"Margaret is such a sensible, quiet, level-headed girl that, if I am as flippant as you say, she will be just the wife for me. There are depths in my character, Renmark, that you have not suspected." "Oh, you're deep." "I admit it. Well, a good, sober-minded woman would develop the best that is in me. Now, what do you say, Renny?" "I say nothing. I am going into the woods again, dark as it is."
There were people still alive in the 'fifties and 'sixties who remembered the Napoleonic wars and the shadow cast by that giant figure upon the world; indeed, so slowly did thought move down in the far West that it might almost have been said that St. Renny was just beginning to realise the wars, and rather resented the fact that English and French had since fought side by side in the Crimea.
"I tell you what it is, Renny," said Yates, a few days after the soap episode, as he swung in his hammock at the camp, "I'm learning something new every day." "Not really?" asked the professor in surprise. "Yes, really. I knew it would astonish you. My chief pleasure in life, professor, is the surprising of you. I sometimes wonder why it delights me; it is so easily done." "Never mind about that.
Yes, she was most undoubtedly frightened. He examined her with a malevolent eye which still discountenanced her. And, though he made no inquiry, she forthwith stammered out: "I I came, sir, to see if there be news of her Ladyship ... or of Sir Adrian, sir Renny can't leave the island, you know, and he be downright anxious." "Well, my good woman, calm yourself.
"I never thought of Renny," he answered; "I was thinking of myself in Salomon's place." "Montguichet thought of me, Prosper." "I also was thinking of you, Countess." Presently he grew keen on his own thoughts again and asked "What became of Salomon de Born?" "I cannot tell you," she replied, "except this, that he took service under the King of the Romans and went abroad.
I had to tell Renny that I had burnt my arm, but I didn't tell her how it happened, and I wouldn't allow her to breathe to you that I was in pain. That was the reason I could not wear my pretty blouse last night, and you were angry with me. I hope you won't be angry any more; but the sleeve of the dress is burnt badly.
That's what a man gets for being decent to you, Renny. Well, you're not compelled to read them; but if you put one of them in the fire, your stupid treatises will follow, if they are not too solid to burn. You don't know good literature when you see it."
And all at once I felt there was something on foot. So I drew the men more beer and said I would see after the yawl. Outside the door the wife whispered: 'Upstairs, quick! Renny, and she herself whisked back into the kitchen so that she should not cause suspicion to those others Ah, your honour, that is a woman!" "Well, well," interrupted his master, anxiously.
"I should have done otherwise," said Prosper. "What would you have made of it, Prosper?" "I should have brought the man alive to your feet; I should have advised you to give him a whipping and let him go." "That would have been more merciless to Renny, my friend, than what Salomon de Montguichet did. I have told you that they are the proudest family in Christendom."
