Moreover, the fiefs dependent on the Gascon duchy had fallen away with the attenuation of the duke's domain. In particular the viscounty of Béarn, now held by the Count of Foix, repudiated all allegiance to its English overlord. Even a thoroughly Gascon seigneur, such as the lord of Albret, was wavering in his fidelity to his duke.
The greatest feudatories of these districts, the friendly Count of Foix as well as the hostile Count of Armagnac, and the Breton pretender to the viscounty of Limoges, were to do homage to Edward for all their lands within these bounds. Nor was this all.
Corneille was the son of Pierre Corneille, master of forests and waters in the viscounty of Rouen. His mother was of noble descent, but the couple were somewhat poor. The dramatist was born in 1606, and early became a pupil of the Jesuits of Rouen. He was educated for the law, but had no taste for that profession, and although he attempted to practice it he was unsuccessful.
"It's rather odd to reward a man for his mother's . There, I don't say a word about Addie. I took her to her first ball, poor girl." "Disney used to know her as a girl." "If you're relying on Robert Disney's romantic memories " But she stopped, adding after a pause, "Well, one never knows. But again, why a viscounty?"
"There's nothing between my cousin and me. There's no question of marriage and never can be. And if there were " He seemed to gather himself up for a flight of scorn "If there were, do you think I'm going to save my own pride by saddling the family with a beastly new viscounty?" His tones rose in indignation on the last sentence, as he looked from one to the other.
I seemed a very poor Christian to myself. "Come! come, Mr. Mallock," pursued the King very gently and kindly. "Think of it once again. You shall have what you please your Viscounty or anything else of that sort; and you shall keep your lodgings and remain here as my friend. What do you say to that?" For a moment again I hesitated; for it is not to everyone that a King offers his friendship.
There was a gratuitous implication that Southend and the rest of the world were apt to be loquacious. "Well, then," said Southend, "I will. What we want is " After one glance at Lady Evenswood, he got it out. "What we want is a viscounty." For a moment Mr Disney sat still. Then again he rose slowly. "Have I tumbled into Bedlam?" he asked.
Who was he, and how did he come there? Harry heard Lady Evenswood's laughter; he heard her murmur to herself with an accent of pleasure, "A beastly new viscounty!" Then the man in the doorway came a little farther in, saying: "That's exactly what I think about it, Mr Tristram. I've heard what you said and I agree with you. There's an end, then, of the beastly new viscounty!"
And it is also decreed that this sentence be printed and published by the deputy of the Attorney-General at the Chatelet, and affixed to the walls in the usual places and cross roads of the town, provostship and viscounty of Paris, and wherever else requisite.
I presume that his ambition was at least a viscounty, if not an earldom, and a field-marshal's baton. On leaving the gentleman whose "tact and geniality" are commemorated in the "Dictionary of National Biography," we repaired my father and I to the cafe where most of the English newspaper men met.
