New York: Grosset & Dunlap. Very Good in Very Good dj. [1926] (c.1905). First Edition Thus. Hardcover. [moderate wear to extremities, some age-toning to edges of text block, one-time owner's declaration of ownership on front endpaper; the jacket is lightly edge- and surface-worn, with a teensy bit of paper loss at the top of the spine, a few small edge-tears in the rear panel]. (8 B&W film stills) Photoplay edition of this Sabatini historical adventure -- with the Brobdingnagian subtitle of "Being an Account of the Strange Wooing pursued by the Sieur Marcel de Saint-Pol, Marquis of Bardelys, and of the things that in the course of it befell him in Languedoc, in the year of the Rebellion" -- a tie-in with the 1926 M-G-M film adaptation, which starred John Gilbert and Eleanor Boardman. .
Synopsis
THE WAGER Speak of the Devil," whispered La Fosse in my ear, and, moved by the words and by the significance of his glance, I turned in my chair. The door had opened, and under the lintel stood the thick-set figure of the Comte de Chatellerault. Before him a lacquey in my escutcheoned livery of red-and-gold was receiving, with back obsequiously bent, his hat and cloak. A sudden hush fell upon the assembly where a moment ago this very man had been the subject of our talk, and silenced were the wits that but an instant since had been making free with his name and turning the Languedoc courtship - from which he was newly returned with the shame of defeat - into a subject for heartless mockery and jest. Surprise was in the air for we had heard that Chatellerault was crushed by his ill-fortune in the lists of Cupid, and we had not looked to see him joining so soon a board at which - or so at least I boasted - mirth presided. And so for a little space the Count stood pausing on my threshold, whilst we craned our necks to contemplate him as though he had been an object for inquisitive inspection. Then a smothered laugh from the brainless La Fosse seemed to break the spell. I frowned. It was a climax of discourtesy whose impression I must at all costs efface.
