These circumstances were for the time carefully hidden. It may be imagined what a state Rion fell into in learning at the army the death of Madame la Duchesse de Berry. All his romantic notions of ambition being overturned, he was more than once on the point of killing himself, and for a long time was always kept in sight by his friends. He sold out at the end of the campaign.
He thought he saw a repetition of the old times, when Mademoiselle was in her glory; he vouchsafed his advice to Rion. Rion was gentle and naturally polished and respectful, a good and honest fellow. He soon felt the power of his charms, which could only have captivated the incomprehensible and depraved fantasy of such a princess.
She wished to declare her marriage; and all the art, intellect, gentleness, anger, menace, prayers, and interest of M. le Duc d'Orleans barely sufficed to make her consent to a brief delay. If Madame had been listened to, the affair would have been finished before the journey to Meudon; for M. le Duc d'Orleans would have thrown Rion out of the windows of the Luxembourg!
M. le Duc d'Orleans informed me then of the fixed design of Madame la Duchesse de Berry to declare the secret marriage she had just made with Rion. Madame la Duchesse d'Orleans was at Montmartre for a few days, and we were walking in the little garden of her apartments.
A blurred sun rises in the sky.... One can see the green valley of Rion and the Bay of Poti by the side of it. SUMY, August 12. ... I have been to the Crimea.

Captain Tunis ordered the gig lowered to take him ashore and, after giving the mate some instructions regarding stowage and the men's shore leave, he was rowed over to Luiz Wharf. 'Rion Latham, a red-headed, pimply faced young man, sidled up to Horace Newbegin.
Gran'ther Peleg left all his money to me, and it made Orion and his folks as sore as can be." "You are inclined to be too kind. I am not sure it is always wise to be too easy." "Like chopping off the dog's tail an inch at a time, so's not to hurt him so much, eh?" he chuckled. "Something like that." "Well, I'm almost tempted to give 'Rion his walking ticket. I've reason enough.
"If the Seamew is a Jonahed schooner, it is because of something different. Yes!" "Bah!" cried Eunez, yet with continued eagerness. "Tell me what it may be if it is not that girl with the evil eye?" "Ask 'Rion Latham," whispered Johnny. "You know him huh?" The Portygee girl looked for a moment rather taken aback. Then she said, tossing her head: "What if I do know 'Rion?"
