She took her tabouret that evening at the King's grand supper, which was the last he ever gave. On the morrow he sent some precious stones to the Persian ambassador just alluded to. It was on this day that the Princesse des Ursins set off for Lyons, terrified at the state of the King as I have already related. For more than a year the health of the King had diminished.
You shall find it lurking amongst worsteds and flower-patterns, and very often preferred to the pretty work that tasks a far prettier eye: or, stepping into the verandah to see a steamer go by, you shall pick it up from a tabouret, where it lies with a pearl-knife in its uncut pages, and the breezes playing with its parted leaves evidently the immediate relic of some startled and disappearing fair one.
Never mind, I'll put the window down." However, just as he was putting it down, a snow-flake, one of a hundred, all pressing for the same point, flew past him, and alighted on the green velvet tabouret. It was nothing, only a snow-flake, and another time, Fred would have thought nothing of it. But in the novel awakening of his faculties, even a snow-flake had a new interest.
Judith, rising from the old cross-stitch tabouret where she had been sitting, laid a fresh log on the fire, then went and stood beside the long window, looking out upon the rainy night. "What," asked Edward between two chords, "what do you hear from the Valley?" Unity answered: "General Banks has crossed the Potomac and entered Winchester poor, poor Winchester!
"You see, Madame," he said, pointing towards the couple, "Montbrun take a tabouret at once, when we come on board, and Mademoiselle Emmeline now has it. It was very maladroit in me not to keep one for you; I beg a t'ousand pardons." "Haven't you got a seat; that is a pity. But I dare say you can easily find one."
It was a large mansion, without the Lud Gate. The demoiselles stirred not at his entrance, and Katherine quietly motioned him to a seat at some distance. "By your leave, fair lady," said Hastings, "I rebel against so distant an exile from such sweet company;" and he moved the tabouret close to the formidable chair of the presiding chieftainess. Katherine smiled faintly, but not in displeasure.
The only trait in her character that I can find to praise is her conduct to Montchevreuil; although she was a wicked old devil, Maintenon had reason to love her and be kind to her, for she had fed and clothed her when Maintenon was in great want. I believe the old woman would not procure for Madame de Dangeau the privilege of the tabouret, only because she was a German and of good family.
The King was satisfied with the feelings and conduct of this band, which, as is well known, existed but a very short time. The new constitution abolished what were called honours, and the prerogatives belonging to them. The Duchesse de Duras resigned her place of lady of the bedchamber, not choosing to lose her right to the tabouret at Court.
"And let me implore you for a while to fold those busy hands, and give your attention to the music which has been gotten up for your especial gratification." The empress quietly folded her work, and rose from her tabouret. "Allow me to present to your majesty the youngest field-marshal in the army," said Leopold, signing to Eugene to advance.
"I know of none," answered the earl, who having doffed his armour, and dismissed his squires, leaned thoughtfully against the wall, dressed for the banquet, with the exception of the short surcoat, which lay glittering on the tabouret. "You know of none? Reflect! Have you brought hither Edward as a guest or as a prisoner?" The earl knit his brows "A prisoner, archbishop?"
