"Oh! now I'm sure it's you," replied Seymour, laughing "that's your old trick do you not recollect the boy that Captain McElvina took off the wreck?" "Ah mon ami Seymour, I believe midshipman, I believe," cried Debriseau. "Est-ce donc vous? "And how is it that you have been on board of a French man-of-war?"
Her "Bon jour, Monsieur," was as cordial as ever; and it even seemed to me and that didn't in the least tend to compose me that her eyes sparkled with an archness which I had never seen in them before, and that her voice had in it a tinge of malice, as she held out to me two of her finest bunches, saying, "Est-ce que, Monsieur en desire deux encore ce soir?"
'Is it the good Lord, or is it merely the devil, that makes me always have a weakness for rascals? I told him it was the devil. I was not a priest then. I could not be so sure with my answer now."
