It happened that the Growler was a short distance to windward of us, when we first became aware of the nature of our critical situation. She up helm, and, running down within hail, Lieutenant Deacon informed Mr. Trant he had just sounded in two fathoms, and that he could see lights ashore.
Trant, who had accompanied him part of the way, returned, but I was sent for to a little house at Madrid, in the Bois de Boulogne, where she lived with Mademoiselle de Chaussery, the ancient gentlewoman with whom the Duke of Orleans had placed her.
O indeed 'twas Sir Benedict, I saw his hawk-face plain ere he closed his vizor, and he fought left-handed. Moreover, beside him I recognised the leaping dog blazoned on the shield of Hacon of Trant Oho, this shall be wondrous news for Duke Ivo, methinks.
Falconer caught it, and stopping him, asked how far he had read. Whilst he was turning over the leaves, Lady Trant went on, in her turn "With all her practice, or her simplicity, whichever it may be far be it from me to decide which I fancy she has met with her match, and has been disappointed in her turn." "Really!" cried Georgiana, eagerly: "How! What! When! Are you certain?" "Last summer Oh!
Because, in the first place, I didn't, just then, want a big disturbing influence in my life; and because I didn't want to be a dupe; and because Paulina Trant was not, according to hearsay, the kind of woman for whom it was worth while to bring up the big batteries.... "But my resistance was only half-hearted.
The son-in-law I really wished for has not escaped me, sir the elder brother, English Clay Clay, of Clay-hall, I apprehend, you will allow, is rather a better match for your daughter; and his proposal for Georgiana, his relation, Lady Trant, was last night authorized to make to me in form.
"I am so glad you are going to give my friend Rachel Trant a trial. I am sure you will like her. She has excellent taste." "Now I must not wait any longer. So good-by. Shall you be at Madame Caravicelli's this evening?" "I am not sure. I don't feel much disposed to go." "Good-by for the present, then. Good-morning," to Mrs. Ormonde, and Miss Bradley swept out of the room.
The horse could with the utmost ease have headed Trant off and trotted into Celorico while the infantry fell on him, and but for the grossest blundering the militia as a fighting force should have been wiped out of existence. But blunders dogged Marmont throughout this campaign. The day was a rainy one, and the militia, finding their powder wet, ran for the ford like sheep.
Those men under Trant were never tried much under fire, but they certainly improved in discipline very much in the short time they were with us.
She had been poor and fond of enjoyment, and she had married that pompous stick Philip Trant because she needed a home, and perhaps also because she wanted a little luxury. Queer how we sneer at women for wanting the thing that gives them half their attraction!
