Scaramouche Father Gilbert returned to the fort, after an absence of three weeks, and he brought intelligence which deeply concerned La Tour. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World "Is Charles La Tour then in such straits that we are to have no relief in this fortress?" The Lady of Fort St. John La Tour, in vain, endeavoured to rally them; surrounded by superior numbers, and their retreat entirely intercepted, submission or destruction seemed inevitable.

The Acadian Exiles : a Chronicle of the Land of Evangeline But Andre-Louis had taken advantage of that moment of M. de La Tour d'Azyr's impotence to draw a pistol in his turn.

The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World At daybreak a signal on the wall where it could be seen from D'Aulnay's camp brought an officer and his men to receive Madame La Tour's dispatches.

The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World "D'Aulnay hath me at sore straits," confessed La Tour, staring at the flame, "since he has cut off from me the help of the Bostonnais." The Lady of Fort St. John Stanhope thought it possible he might direct him to La Tour; and he ordered a boat to be got ready immediately, in the hope of overtaking him. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World La Tour himself was absent; but his wife, a woman of heroic mould, made a most determined resistance. The Acadian Exiles : a Chronicle of the Land of Evangeline They had made the mistake of not fully forewarning and persuading M. de La Tour d'Azyr. Scaramouche Your wrath has never slumbered," replied La Tour, "and my hatred to you will mingle with the last throb of my existence. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World La Tour moved his palm over her cheek. The Lady of Fort St. John There is no chance which I would not hazard," said La Tour, "to free myself from this hateful prison, which is more intolerable to me than the most hopeless dungeon ever invented by despotic jealousy. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World "Must I again ask you, La Tour," she said, with a displeased air, "to refrain from these invectives, which I may not, cannot listen to, and which render my attempt to serve you, almost criminal?" The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World M. de La Tour d'Azyr, overcome, reeled away to a chair and sat down heavily. Scaramouche This accident was a seasonable warning to D'Aulney, who then lay near the mouth of the river, waiting for La Tour's return; but, being apprized of his reinforcement, he prudently retreated from the unequal conflict. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World "All things failing me"—La Tour held out his wrists, and looked at them with a sharp smile. The Lady of Fort St. John In the mean while, La Tour was informed that M. D'Aulney continued to embrace every opportunity to display his hostility towards him. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World "And whither do you go, and how elude observation?" asked La Tour. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World And La Tour d'Azyr is a beast, as all the world knows. Scaramouche La Tour resolved to avenge these repeated insults; and, hearing that the fort at Penobscot was at that time weakly defended, he made immediate preparations to commence an attack on it. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World She seized La Tour's hands, with a swift impulse of atoning to them for the thought of such indignity, and kissed his wrists. The Lady of Fort St. John It was, therefore, with equal surprise and displeasure, that he at length discovered their change of feeling, and received from a large majority a decided refusal to enter into any new engagements with La Tour. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World La Tour refrained from replying, even by a glance: the soldiers, at that moment, commenced their march; and guarded, with ostentatious care, he walked apart from the other prisoners towards the fort. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World It can be shown that M. de Vilmorin never practised fencing in all his life, and it is notorious that M. de La Tour d'Azyr is an exceptional swordsman. Scaramouche La Tour permitted his soldiers to celebrate the marriage of their comrade, and their mirth was the more exuberant, from the privations they had of late endured. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World From whatever point she had approached, La Tour could scarcely believe her feet came tracking the moist red clay alone. The Lady of Fort St. John The first hours of misfortune are generally the most tedious; and the night which succeeded the imprisonment of La Tour appeared to him almost endless in duration. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World "Touch not upon that theme," said La Tour, starting with almost frenzied violence; "time may wear away every other remembrance, but the treachery of a friend must remain indelible and unforgiven." The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World It put forward just such arguments as now obtain against M. de La Tour d'Azyr. Scaramouche See you to it, then," continued La Tour; "and be sure that none of those English pass the gates to-night. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World Madame La Tour, with two women attendants, was seen coming up from the water's edge, while two men pushed off with the boat. The Lady of Fort St. John He was in motion at an early hour, anxious to obtain information of La Tour, though totally at a loss in what direction to seek for him. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World "And you," said La Tour, "who have generously hazarded so much to aid me—how can I be satisfied that you will escape unharmed? how can I leave you, in uncertainty and peril?" The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World With white face and twitching lips, Andre-Louis looked up at M. de La Tour d'Azyr, who stood surveying his work with a countenance of grave but remorseless interest. Scaramouche "I bring you a friend, to whose services we are much indebted," said La Tour to his lady; "and I must request your assistance, in endeavoring to render this dreary place agreeable to him." The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World Madame La Tour glanced at her ship, which would have to wait for wind and tide to reach the usual mooring. The Lady of Fort St. John La Tour, piloted by a fisherman whom he took aboard, landed on a peninsula, since called Bagaduce point, on which the fort was situated. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World I deny that command," said La Tour, "and bid you exercise it at your peril. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World He had not the high stomach of M. de La Tour d'Azyr, and he was a good deal younger. Scaramouche "Adèle!" exclaimed La Tour, springing towards her; then suddenly retreating to the utmost limits of the room, while every nerve shook with powerful emotion. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World For a brief time another ship could have passed up that natural lock, as La Tour's ship had passed on the cream-smooth current at flood tide the day before. The Lady of Fort St. John "It is a calumny, vile as your own base heart," exclaimed La Tour; "and so help me, heaven, as I shall one day prove its falsehood." The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World That mask of disinterestedness and patriotism," said La Tour, scornfully, "is well assumed; but, beshrew me! if it does not hide some dark and selfish purpose. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World First came the Marquis of La Tour d'Azyr, Count of Solz, Knight of the Orders of the Holy Ghost and Saint Louis, and Brigadier in the armies of the King. Scaramouche Forgive me this once only, madam," said La Tour, "and I will endeavor not to offend again. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World Whoever she may be," declared La Tour, "she hath heard too much to go free of this place. The Lady of Fort St. John Make the experiment," said La Tour, proudly; "and again you may return, vanquished by a woman's prowess. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World "It must have been father Gilbert," said La Tour; "and, if he is concerned, I would place the utmost confidence in his prudence and fidelity." The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World Meanwhile, M. de La Tour d'Azyr was climbing into his carriage. Scaramouche This alteration occasioned some delay; and La Tour's impatience was, more than once, vented in imprecations on the individuals, whose sense of duty interfered with his selfish projects. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World She sat on the mandolin box in shadow, vaguely sulking, until Madame La Tour, fresh from her swift attiring, stood at the top of the stairway. The Lady of Fort St. John Stanhope had returned to Boston, and previous to his departure he sought an interview with La Tour, and formally requested the hand of Luciè. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World La Tour had not thought necessary to provide for such an exigence, as he never admitted the possibility of falling a prisoner into the hands of D'Aulney. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World He was angry with Aline for her smiling reception of M. de La Tour d'Azyr and the sordid bargain he saw her set on making. Scaramouche La Tour scornfully replied; "I can expect no other liberty, while it is in your power to hold me in bondage." The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World "Doubtless you did right," hesitated Madame La Tour. The Lady of Fort St. John His lieutenant, therefore, determined to sail for Pemaquid, to seek assistance, which would enable him, at least, to recover the liberty of La Tour. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World She flitted rapidly by La Tour, but at a little distance paused, in a situation which screened her from every eye but his. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World A fire of logs was burning brightly at the room's far end, and by this sat now M. de La Tour d'Azyr and his cousin, the Chevalier de Chabrillane. Scaramouche Next came father Gilbert, with slow, thoughtful steps; and La Tour beside him, with the stern, abstracted countenance of one, who had little concern in the ceremonies, which he sanctioned by his presence. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World The guests had deserted the hall fire and a sentinel was set for the night before Madame La Tour knocked at Antonia's door. The Lady of Fort St. John This information determined La Tour to attack the fort without delay. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World "You can offer no terms," said La Tour, "which comport with the honor of a gentleman and a soldier to accept." The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World "My God, boy, you are speaking of M. de La Tour d'Azyr." Scaramouche De Valette and Stanhope continued to watch the procession till it stopped before the door of a comfortable house, which was occupied by La Tour and his family. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World Three of La Tour's soldiers, with Father Jogues and his donné, had come to bury the outcast baby. The Lady of Fort St. John Towards the close of the day preceding La Tour's escape, De Valette received a message from father Gilbert, requiring him to return, without delay, to the neighbourhood of fort Penobscot. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World The remainder of the night, which succeeded La Tour's release, was passed by Madame d'Aulney, in a state of morbid excitement. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World Ah, this La Tour d'Azyr is a hard man, and he feels very strongly in these matters. Scaramouche In the mean time, De Valette had strictly obeyed the instructions of La Tour. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World It is well known through the colonies that La Tour can no longer get help, and is outlawed by his king. The Lady of Fort St. John She watched alone by the side of her sleeping infant, and even maternal solicitude was, for a time, suspended by the intense interest, which her own perilous adventure, and the safety of La Tour awakened. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World The bitter enmity of La Tour and D'Aulney, the struggle for pre-eminence, which kept them continually at strife, had deadened every social affection and aroused the most fierce and selfish passions. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World "Is it M. de La Tour d'Azyr who is with your uncle?" Scaramouche La Tour endured the first days of confinement with more patience than could have been expected from his irascible disposition; his mind was continually excited by hopes of speedy release, and plans of future vengeance. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World He was examining as self-indulgence his strong and gentlemanly desire not to involve Madame La Tour in further troubles by proselyting her people. The Lady of Fort St. John La Tour was disappointed in his application to Sir David Kirk, and, for a time, his tide of fortune seemed entirely to have ebbed. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World In the background Andre-Louis, too, had risen, brought to his feet by alarm, by the evil that he saw written on the handsome face of M. de La Tour d'Azyr. Scaramouche Less than ever when you learn that I am very closely concerned in the visit of M. de La Tour d'Azyr. Scaramouche La Tour's meditations were broken by the sentinel entering with a light; and as he placed it on a wooden stand, he lingered a moment, and regarded the prisoner with peculiar attention. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World From this post he got a view of La Tour's small ship, yet anchored and safe at its usual moorings. The Lady of Fort St. John He stood aghast, all thought suspended in him, what time M. de Vilmorin's eyes continued fixed upon M. de La Tour d'Azyr's, as if searching there for a meaning that eluded him. Scaramouche La Tour d'Azyr's words were but as a move in a game of chess, calculated to exasperate his opponent into some such counter-move as this—a counter-move that left him entirely at the other's mercy. Scaramouche There came a formal letter to my uncle this morning from M. de La Tour d'Azyr, announcing the visit and its object. Scaramouche But it was too late to recall what he had done; and La Tour again sunk into a train of reflections, though of a more tranquil nature than those which before agitated him. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World There was a hole beside the portrait of Claude La Tour, and through its tunnel starlight could be seen and the night air breathed in. The Lady of Fort St. John Who?" he shouted, and without waiting for an answer, "Why, here's impudence," he stormed on, "to come before me with such a charge against a gentleman of M. de La Tour d'Azyr's eminence! Scaramouche Now, whatever he may have been, and whatever the views held on the subject by Andre-Louis, M. de La Tour d'Azyr was certainly not a coward. Scaramouche When M. de La Tour d'Azyr comes to make his court, study him well; consult your fine instincts; leave your own noble nature free to judge this animal by its intuitions. Scaramouche "Antoine!" exclaimed La Tour, suddenly recognizing in him a soldier of his own, who, on some former occasion, had been taken prisoner by D'Aulney, and voluntarily remained in his service. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World They will all, like you, beg to give themselves to the holding of Charles La Tour's property. The Lady of Fort St. John After an absence of rather more than a week, M. le Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr was back in his place on the Cote Droit of the National Assembly. Scaramouche But M. de La Tour d'Azyr was absent from those eager ranks. Scaramouche Perceiving Aline, M. de La Tour d'Azyr detached himself from the others, and lengthening his stride came straight across the terrace to her. Scaramouche "My liberation!" said La Tour, in surprise; "may heaven bless you for the kind thought, Adèle; but you deceive yourself, if you admit the possibility of effecting it." The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World He felt his rage mounting against Charles La Tour for leaving her exposed in this frontier post, the instrument of her lord's ambition and political feud. The Lady of Fort St. John But it was added that M. de La Tour d'Azyr had gone to the theatre expressly for the purpose of breaking finally with La Binet. Scaramouche "Justice may seem to you a different matter when at last you shall have resolved yourself to become Marquise de La Tour d'Azyr." Scaramouche Coldly now he returned M. de La Tour d'Azyr's greeting, and discreetly removed himself to go and join his friend. Scaramouche La Tour sprang upon the deck, flinging aside the disguise which he had till then retained; and a shout of joyful recognition was echoed by every voice in either vessel. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World Permit me, Madame La Tour, to make my compliments to an amazon. The Lady of Fort St. John What of your own attitude from the outset where M. de La Tour d'Azyr is concerned? Scaramouche La Tour d'Azyr had quitted the front of the box to meet those who came to join him. Scaramouche The carriage rolled away, the powdered footman in blue-and-gold very stiff behind it, M. de La Tour d'Azyr bowing to mademoiselle, who waved to him in answer. Scaramouche La Tour's vessel had out-sailed the other, through the day; and he had so often navigated the bay, and rivers of the coast, that every isle and headland were perfectly familiar to him. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World "And it is La Tour d'Azyr you desire me to kill?" asked Andre-Louis very slowly, after the manner of one whose thoughts are meanwhile pondering the subject. Scaramouche "You do not of your own knowledge know that it was not as M. de La Tour d'Azyr asserts—that he went to the Feydau that night?" Scaramouche Again in that phrase there was something that stirred a memory in La Tour d'Azyr. Scaramouche I think," said M. de La Tour d'Azyr, slowly, "that we are at cross-purposes. Scaramouche Were the worst fate which your malevolence could devise, at this moment before me," said La Tour, "my resolution would remain unalterable. The Rivals of Acadia An Old Story of the New World He was brought face to face with M. de La Tour d'Azyr, whose handsome countenance was calm and composed, but whose eyes reflected something of the sudden blaze of passion stirring in him. Scaramouche "Do you happen to know if M. de La Tour d'Azyr has married?" he asked. Scaramouche M. de La Tour d'Azyr is, after all, a man of honour, and men of honour never deal in falsehood. Scaramouche Hardly could La Tour have told you why, but he sank back in his seat with a sense of relief. Scaramouche To Andre-Louis, since La Tour was not one of that waiting pack, it mattered little on that Tuesday morning who should be the next. Scaramouche I stated definitely that I would not in any circumstances receive M. de La Tour d'Azyr again! Scaramouche We know enough to justify a surmise that he had not merely been La Tour d'Azyr's second in the encounter, but actually an instigator of the business. Scaramouche |
