"Sir George," he said, "can you give me five minutes?" "With pleasure!" he answered. "I was going into the Ritz. Come and have something." "To Maxim's, if you don't mind," the Vicomte said. "It will take us only a moment." Sir George stepped in.
They accepted this in place of Balzac's play, and "L'Ecole des Menages," of which the only copy extant is in the possession of the Vicomte de Spoelberch de Lovenjoul, has never been acted. Balzac was in terrible trouble about the rejection of the drama from which he had hoped so much. I shall certainly require rest at Frapesle.
Kent's brief speech over the dying Lear had a great effect upon my mind, and was the burthen of my reflections for long, so profoundly, so touchingly generous did it appear in sense, so overpowering in expression. Perhaps my dearest and best friend outside of Shakespeare is D'Artagnan the elderly D'Artagnan of the "Vicomte de Bragelonne."
The Vicomte, who had been acting very strangely during the meal, showed unmistakable signs of a futile anger. He had asked Honora to walk with him. "Of course," added Mrs. Holt, "no one need listen who doesn't wish to. Since you were good enough to reconsider your decision and attend divine service, Howard, I suppose I should be satisfied." The reading took place in the library.
Now, in the "Vicomte," he had much to do with the contest of Fouquet and Colbert. Historic justice should be all upon the side of Colbert, of official honesty, and fiscal competence.
As for the civilians who had enjoyed the hospitality of the Hôtel de Périgny, they remained unobserved on the outskirts of the crowd. The vicomte expressed little or no surprise to learn that Victor had signed. He simply smiled; for if others were mystified as to the poet's conduct, he was not. Often his glance roved toward the stairs; but there were no petticoats going up or coming down.
In fact, the arrangements will take us another two or three hours at least." The vicomte articulated for the second time: "Thank you." "You're all right?" asked the colonel. "Quite calm?" "Perfectly calm, thank you." The two men withdrew. When he was once more alone he felt as though he should go mad. His servant having lighted the lamps, he sat down at his table to write some letters.
A young knight, tall and strong as his Danish ancestor, stept forth, and laid gripe on the banner. Then William, now completely armed, save his helmet, sprang at one bound on his steed. A shout of admiration rang from the Quens and knights. "Saw ye ever such beau rei?" said the Vicomte de Thouars.
Before we rode to the Bois de Boulogne the vicomte gave me a sealed letter, which I was to give to his parents in case of his death." The young man thereupon handed the marquise the letter. Madeleine tore the envelope with a trembling hand. There were only a few lines: "You have brought me up badly. You are the cause of my death. I hate you!"
So Madame de Morteyn took the papers, and the little postman doffed his cap again and trotted away, blue blouse fluttering and sabots echoing along the terrace pavement. "I am tired of chess," said the old vicomte; "would you mind reading the Gaulois?" "The politics, dear?" "Yes, the weekly summary if it won't bore you." "Tais toi! Écoute. This is dated July 3d. Shall I begin?" "Yes, Helen."
