They had come to the end of the park, where its gates lead into the forest ; one road led to the Rue de la Lampe, the other into the great waving world of trees. It was a lovely summer's afternoon. There was a host in the air, delighting and basking in the golden comfort; butterflies, midges, flights of birds from the forest were passing. It was pleasant to exist in such a place and hour, to walk by...
Page 1 - It was all empty, dim-panelled, orderly, with its narrow tall windows refiecting the green without, and the gables and chimney-stacks piling under the blue. He was in the drawing-room then ; she had hoped to find him here. Marthe sighed and then walked on across the polished floor, and so into the drawing-room. It was dimmer, more chill than the room in which their meals were served. Some one was standing waiting for her in one of the windows. Marthe' remembered at that, instant that it was Lord...
Page 3 - England, where she went and took possession of her new home. The neighbours called; the drawing-room chintzes were renewed; Marthe Capuchon existed no longer; no one would have recognized the listless ghost flitting here and there, and gazing from the windows of the old house in the Rue de la Lampe, in the busy and practical mistress of Henry Maynard's home. She had gained in composure and spirits and happiness since she came to England. Her house was admirably administered; she wore handsome shining...
Page 5 - Remy made his appearance at Littleton, when the family lawyer, Monsieur Micotton, had come over to see her on business. This grasping, clear-headed woman exercised a strange authority and fascination over the stupid little attorney ; he did her business cheaper than for any other client ; he told her all sorts of secrets he had no right to communicate; and now he let out to her that her mother had been making her will, and had left everything that she had laid by, in trust for little Marthe Maynard,...
