Ask your own heart now, nay, I will not say heart, ask your own common-sense, whether a man who then put aside your purse spendthrift, vaurien, though he might be was likely to steal or accept a woman's jewels. Va, mon pauvre Louvier, again I say, 'Fors non mutat genus."
"Well, a prodigal son, as Lucas named me yesterday. It is the same thing." "I have heard M. l'Abbé read the story of the prodigal son," I said. "And he was a vaurien, if you like no more monsieur's sort than Lucas himself. But it says that when his father saw him coming a long way off, he ran out to meet him and fell on his neck." M. Étienne looked not altogether convinced.
Now, I knew that there was a Count de Crequy; but I had always understood that the elder branch held very little communication with him; in fact, that he was a vaurien of some kind, and rather a disgrace than otherwise to the family.
"Oh yes, you must pay your dues!" He was clearly ashamed of his rôle, however; for as he spoke he shook off the Colonel's hold with a pettish gesture, struck his horse with his stick, and cantered away over the hill. In a twinkling he was lost to sight. "Vaurien!" cried Captain Augustin, shaking his fist after him. But he might as well have sworn at the moon.
M. Victor had numerous connections among the highest families, the Rochebriants, Chavignys, Vandemars, Passys, Beauvilliers; but they are not likely to have retained any connection with a ruined vaurien, and still less with a niece of his who was the child of a drawing-master. But now you have given me a clew, I will try to follow it up.
"Ah! if you would but work, Jacques, you vaurien, I would make a great man of you," Hennepin had said to him more than once; but this had made no impression on Jacques. It was more to the point that the ground-hogs and black squirrels and pigeons were plentiful in Casanac Woods. And so he thought as he stood at the door of the Church of St.
Here is a note upon my agent for fifty pounds, vaurien! Go and spend it, and be merry! I dare say thy mother will repay me, though she does not love me." And she looked quite affectionate, and held out a pretty hand, which the youth kissed. "Your mother did not love me, but your mother's father did once. Mind, sir, you always come to me when you have need of me."
For me I willingly confess myself a vaurien but I assure you I am not as bad as I seem. Your friend Sylvie is safe from me." Angela's eyes lightened, her mind was greatly relieved. "You will leave her to herself " she began. "Certainly I will leave her to herself. She will not like it, but I will do it! She is going away to-morrow, I found that out from her maid.
"It is that serpent" she wiped her eyes on a huge blue-and-yellow pocket handkerchief "who has done it all; and my poor unsuspecting child has flirted with Nicolas, and made the way easy. Ciel! what do I know? It is possible that Marie loves Nicolas, and is willing to throw herself away on a vaurien with a pair of dark eyes; and the news will not grieve her as it has grieved me."
Help me to-morrow, here, and I will give you money!" "What is your own scheme?" the doubting vaurien demanded. "I must know all of this Hugh Johnstone, all about this girl," she whispered, her lips almost touching his cheek. "Let me play with him to-night; I am yours as soon as he departs!" sullenly said Hawke.
