Monsieur Auguste de Maulincour has for the last few days shown signs of mental derangement, and we fear that he may trouble your happiness by fancies which he confided to Monsieur le Vidame de Pamiers and myself during his first attack of frenzy.
But a murmured word from De Mouchy caught her ear, and leaning back in her chair, her face half turned towards De Mouchy, and her fan outspread between herself and the prince, she asked in a quick whisper: "Is it over?" "Yes! He has come." As De Mouchy spoke the crowd parted, and the Vidame appeared, and bowed before Diane.
The papers were 'requested to state that the marriage announced between the Vidame de la Lain and Miss Malory will not take place. Why it did not take place was known only to Mrs. Malory, Mrs. Brown-Smith, and Merton.
As the sentry saluted the Vidame he rode close up to the man, and, bending down from the saddle, said something in a quick, low voice, but it was too far off for me to hear.
It was not Louis de Pavannes at all. It was no old friend at all, It was the Vidame de Bezers! "Welcome, gentlemen!" he said, smiling at us and never had the cast been so apparent in his eyes. "Welcome to Paris, M. Anne!" There was a long silence. We stood glaring at him, and he smiled upon us as a cat smiles.
He went to Monsieur de Maulincour to demand the satisfaction agreed upon between them. It was not without great difficulty that he succeeded in reaching the presence of the author of these misfortunes; but the vidame, when he learned that the visit related to an affair of honor, obeyed the precepts of his whole life, and himself took Jules into the baron's chamber.
I knew that Kit seeing him thus would gladly have died with him; and I thanked God she did not see him. Yet there was a quietness in his fortitude which made a great difference between his air and that of Bezers. He lacked, as became one looking unarmed on certain death, the sneer and smile of the giant beside him. What was the Vidame about to do? I shuddered as I asked myself.
Malory, 'and she wants dreadfully to go and see her. That would do. 'All things work together for good. The cook must have a telegram also, said Mrs. Brown-Smith. The day, which had been extremely hot, clouded over. By five it was raining: by six there was a deluge. At seven, Matilda and the Vidame were evicted from their dusky window seat by the butler with a damp telegraph envelope.
I blurted out, with the flush and tremor of a boy's passion. "You had not called my godfather, Anne de Montmorenci a girl, M. le Vidame!" For though we counted it a joke among ourselves that we all bore girls' names, we were young enough to be sensitive about it. He shrugged his shoulders. And how he dwarfed us all as he stood there dominating our terrace!
That redoubtable dandy now watched the Vidame de Pamiers' introduction of his young friend to that lovely woman, and bent over to say in Rastignac's ear: "My dear fellow, he will go up /whizz/! like a rocket, and come down like a stick," an atrociously vulgar saying which was remarkably fulfilled.
