It may be I have, it may be I have not. What then, Sir? While they seem in angry Dispute, enter Mopsophil. Mop. Seignior Doctor tells me I have a Lover waits me, sure it must be the Farmer or the Apothecary. No matter which, so a Lover that welcomest Man alive. I am resolv'd to take the first good Offer, though but in revenge of Harlequin and Scaramouch, for putting Tricks upon me. Ha, Two of 'em!
Most true, Seignior; why shou'd not the Cavaliers keep Filles de Chambre, as well as great Ladies Valets de Chambre? Doct. Indeed 'tis equally reasonable. But have you never serv'd Ladies? Har. Oh yes, I serv'd a Parson's Wife? Doct. Is that a great Lady? Har.
So much the more valuable, then, the accounts given by this remarkable man of the times. We seemed turning from an impressive text as we left the tomb; left the old grand seignior in his little six feet of earth six feet out of 175,000 acres!
He determined to quit France; and the favourite idea, which he never afterwards relinquished, that the East is a fine field for glory, inspired him with the wish to proceed to Constantinople, and to enter the service of the Grand Seignior. What romantic plans, what stupendous projects he conceived! He asked me whether I would go with him? I replied in the negative.
At that time only two European powers were not tied to Napoleon's fate Sweden and Turkey. Napoleon was anxious to gain the alliance of these two powers. With respect to Sweden his efforts were vain; and though, in fact, Turkey was then at war with Russia, yet the Grand Seignior was not now, as at the time of Sebastiani's embassy, subject to the influence of France.
What really matters, more or less, is that it would appear the man broke my backbone as one snaps a straw, since I cannot move a limb of me." "Seignior," said Melicent, "you mean that you are dying!" He answered, "Yes; but it is a trivial discomfort, now I see that it grieves you a little." She spoke his name some three times, sobbing.
The surgeon and La Hontan put all his followers out of the door, he was scarcely conscious that they stood by him, and left, beside his brother Longueuil, only one young man who had helped carry him in. Saint-Denis, on the bed, saw him with the swimming eyes of fever. The seignior of Beauport had hoped to have Sainte-Hélène for his son-in-law.
He entered with stooping shoulders, a humble and modest look, and threw such a degree of civility into his address to the Seignior Balafre, that no one who saw the interview could have avoided concluding that he came to ask a boon of the Scottish Archer.
"Never mind that, noble seignior," answered Blazius, the pedant, "for though on the stage we may sit down to mock repasts pasteboard fowls and wooden bottles we are careful to provide ourselves with more substantial and savoury viands in real life.
He was a man of long experience, trained all his life to affairs, and perfectly capable of giving a good account of everything to which he turned his hands. He admitted, however, to other correspondents, that the administration of the sage seignior, on whom his Majesty could so implicitly rely, had at last "brought that provinces into a deplorable condition."
