"Au quatre, de Busson qui est d'argent au lyon de sable arme couronne et
lampasse d'or," And so on, through the other quarterings: Bigot, Epinay,
Malestroit, Mathefelon. And finally, "Sur le tout, de Pasquier qui est
d'or a trois lyons d'azur, au franc quartier ecartele des royames de
Castille et de Leon."
Presently my mother came home from the English chapel in the Rue
Marboeuf, where she had been with Sarah, the English maid. Lunch was
announced, and we were left alone with the family papers. With infinite
precautions, for fear of blurring the dream, we were able to find what
we wanted to find--namely, that we were the great-great-grandchildren
and only possible living descendants of Gatienne, the fair glassmaker
and composer of "Le Chant du Triste Commensal."
Thus runs the descent--
Jean Aubery, Seigneur du Brail, married Anne Busson. His daughter,
Gatienne Aubery, Dame du Brail, married Mathurin Budes, Seigneur de
Verny le Moustier et de Monhoudeard.
