He had not, however, lost a word of what was passing between Vendôme and myself, and on the Duke addressing him he put down the cup he held in his hand, saying quietly: "If Monsieur Broussel will add to his kindness by lending me a sword it may, perhaps, be better for us, and I promise faithfully to return it."
I owe you a debt which I can never repay never;" and the laces at her throat rose and fell as she sighed, her wonderful eyes still fixed upon me. Gradually the yellow sun rose over the bare frozen lands over which we were speeding, and when at last we entered Paris, I set her down in the Place Vendôme.
Then enter Mr. Hill again alive. He meets Anna, and claims her as his wife. It is Anna again who stands between me and ruin." "I cannot let you go on," Ennison interrupted. "I believe that I can give you great news. Tell me where the fellow Hill took you for this marriage ceremony." "It was behind the Place de Vendome, on the other side from the Ritz." "I knew it," Ennison exclaimed.
Charles, whose personal safety was the first object of the generals, was sent with an escort of cavalry to Catalonia in November; and in December the army commenced its retreat towards Arragon. But the Allies had to do with a master-spirit. The King of France had lately sent the Duke of Vendome to command in Spain.
The next march was a long one to Vendôme, and at this place they again halted for a day. Stopping for a night at Beaugency, they marched to Orleans, where was a large prison. Here they remained for a week. The guards who had accompanied them from Nantes left them here at Orleans and returned by water.
With such a guarantee from a man in such favour at Court, who could doubt? Yet, shortly after, Marlborough crossed the Escaut in four places, and Vendome actually wrote to the King, begging him to remember that he had always declared the defence of the Escaut to be, impossible!
As 23,000 were manufactured by the Commune according to documents found on prisoners, and of these not many were used, a large number are believed to be still somewhere concealed. Nearly all the missing pieces of the Colonne Vendôme have been recovered. It is thought the Column can be exactly restored. A strange proposal is made to preserve untouched the ruins of the Hôtel de Ville.
My sister embraces Madame Franchomme. After a stay of less than six weeks Chopin removed from the Rue Chaillot to the apartments in No. 12, Place Vendome, which M. Albrecht and Dr. O'Meara had succeeded in finding for him. About this time Moscheles came to Paris. Of course he did not fail to inquire after his brother-artist and call at his house.
As for me, I remained spectator, and did not go and adore this idol. In a few minutes Vendome was sent for by the King and Monseigneur. As soon as he could dress himself, surrounded as he was by such a crowd, he went to the salon, carried by it rather than environed. Monseigneur stopped the music that was playing, in order to embrace him.
M. de Vendome, once general of an army, could no longer serve in any other quality; and would act as a stepping-stone for M. du Maine. From this moment M. de Noailles returned more than ever into the good graces of the King. Everything happened as it had been arranged. But the secret was betrayed in the execution.
