Un homme ayarit ecrit a sa maitresse, avoit glisse le billet sous la porte, et puis s'avisant que la fille ne pourroit pas s'en appercevoir il en ecrivit un autre en ces termes, "J'ai mis un billet sous votre porte; prenez-y garde quand vous sortirez."
Je vous presenterai specialement a M. Franck, qui, sur ma demande, a ete votre rapporteur, et qui a parle de vous en termes excellents. From the Duc d'Aumale he received, a few days later: Bruxelles, 31 mai. Je ne doutais pas du bon accueil qui vous serait fait a l'Institut, et je suis ravi d'en recevoir le temoignage par votre lettre.
Many specimens of this might be given, but as the mist is impenetrable, we will turn to one where the light can be seen the story of the peasant of Termes, who assassinates a praetor, while that officer is passing along a road unattended. The context is not seen. A man who has committed a murder unseen by anybody effects his escape from pursuit by getting into a wood.
As for Termes, he wished they had not quitted him till the end of their journey, so much did he dread being left alone with his master.
At these words five-and-thirty of the guests were in motion to receive this new visitor: the bride alone, out of an idea of decorum, remained seated; and the audacious Termes, having swallowed the first shame of this adventure, began to lay about him at such a rate, as if it had been his intention to swallow all the wine provided for the wedding, if his master had not risen from the table as they were taking off four-and-twenty soups, to serve up as many other dishes in their stead.
He had an old valet-de-chambre, called Termes, a bold thief, and a still more impudent liar: he used to send this man from London every week, on the commissions we have before mentioned; but after the disgrace of Mrs. Middleton, and the adventure of Miss Warmestre, Mr.
Termes, having put on a face of brass, pretended not to know him, and pushed him back with some degree of rudeness. "No, no!" said the other; "since I was obliged to sit up with you the whole night, in order to strike the bargain, you shall pledge me in the bride's health."
Spelman says, in defining an heirloom, that it may be "Omne utensil robustius;" which would exclude a necklace. In the "Termes de Ley," it is defined as "Ascun parcel des ustensiles." We are told in "Coke upon Littleton," that Crown jewels are heirlooms, which decision, as far as it goes, denies the right to other jewels.
King Lewis then lost Lombardy, for not having observ'd some of those termes which others us'd, who have possessed themselves of countries, and desir'd to keep them. And by experience we have seen it, that the power hereof in Italy, and that of Spain also, was caused by France, and their own ruine proceeded from themselves.
Never was country magnificence more naturally displayed: Rusty tinsel, tarnished lace, striped silks, little eyes, and full swelling breasts, appeared on every side. If the first sight of the procession surprised the Chevalier de Grammont, faithful Termes was no less astonished at the second.
