The people of his retinue told me that perhaps he would be elected grand master!" "If he refuse to fight, he will lose his honor," said Lis of Targowisko.

"My leave of absence does not terminate until tomorrow morning, and I think that it is much more pleasant to talk over matters comfortably round a table than it is to do so in a set manner. Therefore, gentlemen, if you will all sup with me this evening at the Fleur de Lis, after we have finished our meal we will talk over our wine. My opinion is that officers of a regiment should be good comrades.
At the moment when the distant heights resounded with the fierce yells of the savages, and leaping forms came bounding down the slope, the remarkable warrior of the Fleur de lis the fearful enemy who had whispered the most demoniac vengeance in his ears the preceding night was the only one that met and riveted the gaze of the governor.
It is a matter not unworthy of observation, that although the revolution with a keen, and savage eye, explored too successfully, almost every vestige of a royal tendency, the beautiful pavement under the dome of the invalides has escaped destruction.

Then, forcing herself to smile, she asked: "Won't you risk a look-in at the Exposition du Lis with us, Monsieur Gerard?" "Well, no," replied the Count, "I want to walk. I shall go with Monsieur l'Abbe Froment to the Chamber." Thereupon he took leave of mother and daughter, kissing the hand of each in turn.
"The strange object you saw on the lake, my love, was nothing more than a canoe disguised with leafy boughs, in which Sir Everard Valletort and myself, under the guidance of old Francois of the Fleur de lis, whom you must recollect, have made the dangerous passage of the Sinclair in the garb of duck hunters, which latter we had only discarded on reaching the schooner, in order to assume another we conceived better suited to our purpose.
