One of these men, a bold and active Fleming, named Durant, was especially charged to keep Barclay well informed. The other, whose business was to communicate with Charnock, was a ruffian named Chambers, who had served in the Irish army, had received a severe wound in the breast at the Boyne, and, on account of that wound, bore a savage personal hatred to William.
Hope was in such a state of transparent admiration, that Albinia could not help two or three times noiselessly clapping her hands under the table, and secretly thanking the rioters and their tag-rag and bob-tail for having provided a home for little Genevieve Durant.
The Honorable Whiting Griswold, of Greenfield, was president, and among the prominent men present were Henry F. Durant and ex-Vice-President Wilson. In 1868, the convention met at Worcester; in 1869, at Lowell.
With a bellow of rage and hatred Durant was upon him, and under the weight of the giant he crashed to the floor. With them went the table and lamp. There was a vivid splutter of flame and the cabin was in darkness, except where the moon-light flooded through the one window. Challoner had looked for something different.
The leader of these troops was Nicolas Durant de Villegagnon, and his men comprised a number of Huguenots who were abandoning France. Villegagnon's own character appears to have been complex and curious in the extreme.
Since the days of his puppyhood with Challoner a smell like that which came from the meat had not filled Miki's nostrils, and at last Durant saw him lick his chops and heard the click of his teeth. He chuckled in his beard. Still he waited another quarter of an hour. Then he pulled the meat off the spit, cut it up, and gave a half of it to Miki. And Miki ate it ravenously.
For the second time Neil Durant had a word of approval for the younger boy. "Good work!" he said. "You got me clean." The scrub endeavored to live up to the pace that Teeny-bits had set, but they had shot their bolt and the first team pushed the ball over in three tries and scored two more touchdowns in the course of the next fifteen minutes.
"I didn't know there was any one here till I heard Cæsar knock something down." She dusted the tops of the crutches with her sleeve and propped them against the table. "Thanks!" said Durant curtly. He was not feeling sociable he could not feel sociable on that day of all days in his life's record. Yet, as if attracted by something, the girl lingered.
She pointed a brown hand towards the sand-dunes. "On the shore, sir," she said. "We hear the waves all night." "So do I," said Durant, and his voice was suddenly sharp with a pain he could not try to silence. "All night and all day." She did not seem to notice his tone. "You live in the cottage on the cliff?" she asked. He nodded. "I came last week," he said.
The quarter ran after it, made a quick scoop, and attempted to come back but was stopped before he had taken half a dozen steps. Fighting hard, the Ridgley team prevented the visitors from advancing and forced them to kick from their own goal line. Neil Durant caught the punt at mid-field and dashed forward ten yards before he was checked.
