"That's as if you said Goupil was to be my successor." "The two things are not so impossible," said Goupil. On returning from mass Madame de Portenduere told Tiennette to inform her son that she wished to see him. The little house had three bedrooms on the first floor.
"My dear Tiennette," cried the jeweller, "it is finished I will be a bondsman, and thou wilt live to make my happiness as long as my days. In thy company, the hardest chains will weigh but lightly, and little shall I reck the want of gold, when all my riches are in thy heart, and my only pleasure in thy sweet body. I place myself in the hands of St.
"And your mother?" "She is a washerwoman." "And what is your name?" "I have no name, dear sir. My father was baptised Etienne, my mother is Etienne, and I am Tiennette, at your service." "Sweetheart," said the jeweller, "never has woman pleased me as you please me; and I believe that your heart contains a wealth of goodness.
There was a vast crowd at the abbey for the nuptials of Tiennette, to whom the queen presented the bridal dress, and to whom the king granted a licence to wear every day golden rings in her ears. Leu, there were torches at the windows to see them pass, and a double line in the streets, as though it were a royal entry.
Hereupon came Tiennette, clad in glorious apparel, wearing a robe of white wool, with her hair tastefully dressed, and, withal, so royally beautiful, that the goldsmith was petrified with ecstasy, and the chamberlain confessed that he had never seen so perfect a creature.
"The matter is this, then, my dear father," said the chamberlain. "The goldsmith of the court, here, has conceived a great love for a girl belonging to the abbey, and I charge you, as you would have me grant the favors you may seek hereafter, to liberate this girl." "Who is she?" asked the abbot of the burgess. "She is named Tiennette," replied the goldsmith, timidly.
One shall be a statue of Madame the Virgin, to this end, to thank her for the liberty of my dear wife; and the other for my said patron, if I am successful in my undertaking to liberate the bondswoman Tiennette here present, and for which I rely upon his assistance.
The abbot sent for Tiennette, telling his clerk to dress her in her best clothes, and make her as brave as possible. "Your love is in danger," said the chamberlain to the goldsmith, drawing him one side.
Alexander Dumas, one of the most celebrated authors of France, was born on the 24th of July, 1802, in the village of Villars-Coterets. His grandfather, the marquis de la Pailletrie, was governor of the island of St. Domingo, and married a negress called Tiennette Dumas. Some declare that this woman was his mistress, and not his wife, but we will not pronounce upon this point.
"I must spend this week in Paris, to take the preliminary steps, buy books and mathematical instruments, and try to conciliate the minister and get the best terms that I can for myself." Ursula and her godfather accompanied Savinien to the gate. Soon after he entered his mother's house they saw him come out again, followed by Tiennette carrying his valise.
