Then he presented his friend to the Americans, who approved him on sight. Henderson came a few minutes later and listened respectfully to the plan Miss Doyle unfolded. He was to go with Monsieur Rondel to Charleroi, find Mrs. Denton, explain that her husband was very ill, and bring her back with him to Ostend. He would report promptly on his return and they would tell him what to do next.
The fellow had had such reviews; the book, although less sensational than its predecessor had hit the public straight in the middle of its susceptible heart. Had young Rondel done it all with bad work-well, that was common enough but the book was good, uncommonly good. He sent the nurse downstairs and began to build an elaborate fortress on the nursery floor.
Indeed, there can be no better pastime for a lonely man than the mechanical exercise of verse. Such intricate forms as Charles had been used to from childhood, the ballade with its scanty rhymes; the rondel, with the recurrence first of the whole, then of half the burthen, in thirteen verses, seem to have been invented for the prison and the sick bed.
"Of course," answered Uncle John, as the girl hesitated. "You should have brought her to us at once. Where is that Belgian Rondel?" "He is guarding the woman, sir." "Guarding her!" "She's a little difficult to manage, sir, at times. She left Charleroi willingly enough, but she's tricky, and it is our duty to deliver her to you safely."
They left the house, and advanced to the Rondel, where the superb statue of Flora was reclining. "There, under this marble form, is the vault in which I shall lie down to sleep," said Frederick. "I began my building at Weinberg with this vault. But it is a profound secret; guard it well, also, dear friend! The living have a holy horror of death; it is not well to speak of graves or death lightly!"
She lives with her mother, or did, the last we heard of her." "And her mother's name and address?" inquired Henderson. "We are ignorant of either," she confessed; "but it's not a very big town and I'm sure you'll easily find her." "I know the place well," said Rondel, "and I have friends residing there who will give me information."
The Mona Liza is a sort of riddle, an acrostic, a poetical decoction, a ballade, a rondel, a villanelle or ballade with double burden, a sestina, that is what it is like, a sestina or chant royal. The Mona Liza, being literature in intention rather than painting, has drawn round her many poets. We must forgive her many mediocre verses for the sake of one incomparable prose passage.
Thirty-six short poems are attributed to him, including Ane New Yeir Gift to Quene Mary, The Rondel of Love, and a satire, Justing at the Drum. He has great variety of metre, and is graceful and musical, but his satirical pieces are often extremely coarse.
He ran against Arlotto of Soria; and Angiolin then ran against Malducco; and Mazzarigi the Renegade came against Avino; and Uliviero was borne forth by his horse Rondel, who couldn't stand still, against Malprimo, the first of the captains of Falseron.
'Pay Miss Annette Jones, or order, the sum of two hundred and thirty pounds. No, don't cross it! Rondel obeyed. 'Now, toss it over to me. You observe I still hold the pistol. Rondel once more obeyed. Then, still keeping him under cover of the ugly-looking tube, she backed towards the door. 'Good-bye, she said. 'Be sure I shall look out for your next volume.
