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.
"Beyond doubt, my daughter, it would have countenanced no such invention; for the town held its charter from the Viscounts of Beziers and Albi, and might consume only such corn and wine as were grown in the Viscounty." "Parbleu!" the baker shrugged his shoulders "in the matter of wine we should fare well nowadays under such a rule!" "In these times Ambialet grew its own wine, and by the tun.
I had audience with King James on the night before, when I went to take my leave of him; and he renewed to me the offer of the Viscounty, of which I think Mr. Chiffinch had spoken to him. But I refused it as courteously as I could, telling him that I was for Rome and the cloister. All the rest, however, is known by others better than by myself; and the events that followed.
Southend was well satisfied with the way in which his overture was received. Lady Evenswood was watching intently. "The idea is " said Harry slowly "I mean I don't quite gather what it is. You talk of my cousin, and then of a viscounty. The two go together, do they?" It was rather an awkward question put as bluntly as that. "Well, that did seem to be Mr Disney's view," said Southend.
"It was done in the Bearsdale case," suggested Lady Evenswood. "Of course there was a doubt there " "Anyhow a barony but a viscounty would be more convenient," murmured Southend. Mina was puzzled. These mysteries were beyond her. She had never heard of the Bearsdale case, and she did not understand why in certain circumstances a viscounty would be more convenient.
Southend had felt much the same thing over the matter of Harry and the viscounty. "So it all ends, it all ends and we've got to go back to Blent!" "Yes, I love him," said Cecily. "That evening in the Long Gallery the evening when he gave me Blent do you know what I thought?" She spoke low and quickly, lying back quite still in the attitude that Addie Tristram had once made her own.
Joan was consoled by remaining in possession of the county of Penthièvre and the viscounty of Limoges. Practically her defeat was an English victory, and Montfort remained in his duchy so long only as English influence prevailed.
The king offered him a viscounty, but he declined the honor, "lest his zeal and services for the restoration of the ancient government should be reproached as proceeding from ambition, and not conscience;" and so scrupulous was he that his being made a knight of the Bath even was done without his knowledge, he being then at Dunkirk, and Charles inserting with his own hand his name in the list.
By the treaty passed between Henry III. and Reymond VI. of Turenne in 1223, it was stipulated that the Viscount should pay homage to Henry, but that the English officers should exercise no jurisdiction in the viscounty, except in the town of Martel, where the King could hold his assizes with the consent of the Viscount.
"If ever the time comes ." He had laughed at that; it had sounded so unlikely, so unreal, so theatrical. "If ever the time comes, I shall remember." That was a strange thing to look back to now. But it was all strange the affair of the beastly new viscounty, Blinkhampton and its buildings, the Arbitration and the confidence of Mr Disney.
