Some say it was jealousy on Ninon's part, but any one who reads her letters to de Sévigné will see between the lines a disposition on his part to wander away after a new charmer. Others, however, say that she intended to send them to the Marquis de Tonnerre, whom the actress had betrayed for de Sévigné.
"Tonnerre!" said Emile, springing up and flinging his arms round Raphael; "my friend, remember the sort of women you are with." "I am a millionaire!" "If you are not a millionaire, you are most certainly drunk." "Drunk with power. I can kill you! Silence! I am Nero! I am Nebuchadnezzar!" "But, Raphael, we are in queer company, and you ought to keep quiet for the sake of your own dignity."
Upon two chairs, with drooping heads and pendent arms, the detective's two assistants were asleep. "Tonnerre de nom d'un chien!" exclaimed Ganimard. At the same moment, the baron cried out: "The pictures! The credence!" He stammered, choked, with arms outstretched toward the empty places, toward the denuded walls where naught remained but the useless nails and cords. The Watteau, disappeared!
The next morning he did not wake, or rather did not come downstairs until nine o'clock. He asked casually what had become of his noisy neighbor, and was told that he had started in the Lyons mail at six in the morning, with his friend the colonel of the Chasseurs; but the landlord thought they had only engaged places as far as Tonnerre.
"De grace, a minute only. Monsieur Gering, the brave English lieutenant, is at Hudson's Bay, and next summer he will go with the great William Phips Tonnerre, what a name William Phips! Like a pot of herring! He will go with him after the same old treasure. Boston is a big place, but I hear these things." Usually a man of few words, Perrot had bursts of eloquence, and this was one of them.
With regard to the subject of my note you received it, did you not?" "Certainly; and M. de Gery should have sent you a reply this very morning. What you ask is impossible. Twenty thousand francs! Tonnerre de Dieu! You go at a fine rate!" "Still, it seems to me that my services " stammered the beauty-man. "Have been amply paid for. That is how it seems to me also.
The French loss was much more considerable; the Varsovie especially, having 100 killed and wounded, while the captain of the Aquilon was killed in a boat of the Imperieuse, when seated by the side of Lord Cochrane, by a shot from the burning Tonnerre. The burning Varsovie and Aquilon, being supposed by the French to be fire-ships, created a further panic among them.
He heard the grinding crunch of jaws, and he knew they were the Wild Dog's jaws; he heard a snarl choking slowly into a wheezing sob of agony, and he knew that the sound came from The Eller. The blood rose into his face. The red fire in his eyes grew livid a blaze of exultation, of triumph. "TONNERRE DE DIEU! he is choking the life out of Netah!" he gasped. "NON, I have never seen a dog like that.
"The lady who passed the inn three days ago. I spoke of her then, you remember." "Tonnerre de Dieu!" Keredec slapped his thigh with the sudden violence of a man who remembers that he has forgotten something, and as a final addition to my amazement, his voice rang more of remorse than of reproach. "Have I never told you that to follow strange ladies is one of the things you cannot do?"
Among them were the Dukes of Orleans, Rochefoucault, and Liancourt, Count Lally Tollendal, the two brothers Lameth, Clermont Tonnerre, and the Marquis de La Fayette, all of whom were guillotined or exiled during the revolution. The discussions in the Assembly did not equal the tumults of the people.
