Their sabres flashed like lightning glances, and as fatally bore down on all before them; and as the routed squadrons fell back, the wild cheers of "Vive l'Empereur!" told that at least one great moment of success atoned for the misfortunes of the day. "His Majesty saw your charge, Colonel," said a general officer to Tascher as he rode back at the head of a squadron.
She had tried to overcome the opposing current so far as it concerned herself, because it was unpleasant; and, although not wholly unaccountable for she was conscious of some weaknesses, as most mortals are so far as Mrs. Tascher was affected by her shortcomings the prejudice seemed unfounded.
The doctor came up and seated himself on the top step, and remarked that he didn't know whether it would be worth while to go up town before supper or not. Miss Custer was about to persuade him that it would not be worth while, when a movement on the part of Mrs. Tascher recalled her to the consciousness of that lady's proximity and put her under a sort of constraint.
But he soon changed his mind when he reflected that most of the figures were represented in naturalibus, which would appear incongruous in an apartment used for grand diplomatic receptions, and in which the Council of Ministers usually sat. The last of January, Mademoiselle de Tascher, niece of her Majesty the Empress, was married to the Duke of Aremberg.
The Emperor on this occasion raised Mademoiselle de Tascher to the dignity of a princess, and deigned, in company with the Empress, to honor with his presence the marriage, which took place at the residence of her Majesty the Queen of Holland, in the Rue de Ceriltti, and was celebrated with a splendor worthy of the august guests.
Tascher to go, and the doctor, with a painful attempt to appear natural, kept beside her and was scrupulously attentive to her comfort. Ruth playfully claimed Hugh as her escort. Bruce, true to agreement, monopolized Miss Custer in a masterly way, much to her surprise.
She so far outdid Miss Custer in the matter of pleasing and entertaining that when the doctor went away he hardly thought of the latter. He said to himself as he went down town, "What a remarkably brilliant woman Mrs. Tascher must have been in her day! And is yet, for that matter. Husband been dead six years: wonder why she never married again?"
Who will come to my rescue?" "I am willing to trust you," laughed Mrs. Tascher. "You have thirty years upon your head, and a vast amount of hard practicality in it: Dr. Ebling lacks something of both." The girls had got their hats and were already out upon the veranda. "Come, Bruce: have you decided whether there is an important case pending or not?" called the doctor. Mrs.
On advancing farther, we heard the faint sounds of a cannonade; and then they grew louder and louder, till the whole air seemed tremulous with the concussion. "A heavy fire, Colonel," said a veteran officer of the regiment. "I should guess there are not less than eighty or a hundred guns engaged." "Press on, men! press on!" cried Tascher.
Tascher, who felt that the sharpest knife was the best to be used in a case of urgent surgical necessity, wrote briefly that the doctor and Miss Custer were married that Miss Custer had begged for at least three months' preparation, but the doctor was impatient; and so, as soon as she was able to stand the journey to Boston, where her friends and property were, they had joined hands and started.
