Several times I had asked Kory-Kory to show me their contents, but my servitor, who, in almost every other particular had acceded to my wishes, refused to gratify me in this. One day, returning unexpectedly from the 'Ti', my arrival seemed to throw the inmates of the house into the greatest confusion.
"The arms," he explained, aside, to the curé, "and crest of Monseigneur, the Marquis de Beaupertuys." Not the least important of the force of the Weymouth Bank was Uncle Bushrod. Sixty years had Uncle Bushrod given of faithful service to the house of Weymouth as chattel, servitor, and friend.
"Let us thank and praise a kind Providence for it," said his servitor with a sigh of relief, "since our Lord and Saviour assumed the form of a servant, that of a scarecrow, in which he has done admirable service, is far too noble and distinguished for Biberli."
It is very interesting to notice that the "Loyal Servitor" that faithful chronicler who followed Bayard through all his campaigns, and probably often wrote at his dictation never allows us to suspect that the Good Knight felt any bitterness at this neglect. Not one word of complaint is ever heard; he never murmured, he asked for nothing; his only anxiety was to serve his country and his king.
However, she must say something grateful or again offend the dignity of her venerable servitor. "Thank you, Pedro. It is very pretty. I will add it to the case of minerals that your master arranged yonder." The shepherd cast one contemptuous glance toward the shelves she indicated, and straightened himself indignantly.
Quick, Coursegol, have her and her child brought in and apply restoratives." "Oh, the child is doing very well," replied the servitor. "All it needs is a little milk; for to-day, one of our goats must be its nurse." As he spoke Coursegol summoned a servant to whom he confided the infant; then, taking the mother in his strong arms, he carried her up-stairs and placed her on a bed.
The Kid seized this and plucked forth a black man in a white tie and the garb of a servitor. "Get up!" commanded the Kid. "Are you in charge of this free lunch?" "Yes, sah, I was. Has they done pinched us ag'in, boss?" "Looks that way. Listen to me. Are there any peaches in this layout? If there ain't I'll have to throw up the sponge."
He had not been so glad or confident since his marriage day, when he snatched his bride from the fastness of his enemy, and as Grimond helped him to arm, and gave the last touches to his martial dress, he jested merrily with that solemn servitor, and sang aloud to Grimond's vast dismay, who held the good Scottish faith that if you be quiet Providence may leave you alone, but if you show any sign of triumph it will be an irresistible temptation to the unseen powers.
In th' warrum summer's afthernoon th' Czar felt almost dhrousy as he set in his rile palace an' listened to th' low, monotonous-drone iv bombs bein' hurled at th' Probojensky guards, an' picked th' broken glass out iv th' dhrink that'd just been brought to him be an aged servitor who was prisidint iv th' Saint Pethersburg lodge iv Pathriotic Assassins.
"Eat, sirs," the old servitor exhorted us: "alas! that man may take nothing out o' the world!" I know not who of us was most taken aback. But noting Delia's sad wondering face, as her eyes wander'd round the neglected room and rested on the tatter'd portraits, I lost patience. "Our business is with Master Hannibal Tingcomb," said I sharply.
