they think me such a lout, what would they say to honest Philip?'

The Chevalier seemed willing to take on him the whole management of his
'fair cousin.' He inquired into the amount of the rents and dues which
old Osbert had collected and held ready to meet the young Baron's
exigencies; and which would, it seemed, be all needed to make his dress
any way presentable at court. The pearls, too, were inquired for, and
handed over by Osbert to his young Lord's keeping, with the significant
intimation that they had been demanded when the young Madame la Baronne
went to court; but that he had buried them in the orchard, and made
answer that they were not in the chateau. The contract of marriage,
which Berenger could just remember signing, and seeing signed by his
father, the King, and the Count, was not forthcoming; and the Chevalier
explained that it was in the hands of a notary at Paris. For this
Berenger was not sorry. His grandfather had desired him to master the
contents, and he thought he had thus escaped a very dry and useless
study.

He did not exactly dislike the old Chevalier de Ribaumont. The system on
which he had been brought up had not been indulgent, so that compliments
and admiration were an agreeable surprise to him; and rebuffs and
rebukes from his elders had been so common, that hints, in the delicate
dressing of the old knight, came on him almost like gracious civilities.
There was no love lost between the Chevalier and the chaplain, that was
plain; but how could there be between an ancient French courtier and
a sober English divine? However, to Mr. Adderley's great relief, no
attempts were made on Berenger's faith, his kinsman even was disposed
to promote his attendance at such Calvinist places of worship as they
passed on the road, and treated him in all things as a mere guest, to
be patronized indeed, but as much an alien as if he had been born in
England. And yet there was a certain deference to him as head of the
family, and a friendliness of manner that made the boy feel him a real
relation, and
use in my inches in the tilt - yard. But if 
 they remember me such a lout, what would they suppose to honest Philip?' 

 The Chevalier seemed willing to take on him the hale management of his 
' fair cousin.' He inquired into the sum of the rents and dues which 
 erstwhile Osbert had collected and held quick to meet the young Baron's 
 exigencies; and which would, it seemed, be all need to make his dress 
 any way presentable at court. The pearls, excessively, were inquired for, and 
 handed over by Osbert to his young Lord's retention, with the significant 
 intimation that they had been demanded when the young Madame la Baronne 
 die to court; but that he had buried them in the orchard, and made 
 answer that they were not in the chateau. The contract of marriage, 
 which Berenger could barely remember signing, and seeing signed by his 
 father, the King, and the Count, was not forthcoming; and the Chevalier 
 explained that it was in the hands of a notary at Paris. For this 
 Berenger was not sorry. His grandfather had desired him to master the 
 contents, and he thought he had thus escaped a very dry and useless 
 study. 

 He did not exactly dislike the old Chevalier de Ribaumont. The arrangement on 
 which he had been brought up had not been indulgent, so that compliments 
 and wonder were an accordant surprise to him; and rebuffs and 
 rebukes from his elders had been so coarse, that hints, in the delicate 
 dressing of the old knight, come on him almost like gracious civilities. 
 There was no sexual love lost between the Chevalier and the chaplain, that was 
 plain; but how could there be between an ancient French courtier and

 attempt were made on Berenger's faith, his kinsman even was disposed 
 to promote his attendance at such Calvinist places of worship as they
