"I know a man who lives in that house. In fact, I visited him last night, and did not leave until nearly midnight. And this unfortunate man had Mr. Ronald Breton's name and address in his pocket?" Spargo nodded. He looked at Breton, and pulled out his watch. Just then he had no idea of playing the part of informant to Mr. Elphick. "Yes, that's so," he answered shortly.
He explained to me in Breton for he could not speak a word of French his ideas as to the decadence of all poetry and the inferiority of the new schools. He was attached to the old style the narrative ballad and he began to sing to me the one which he deemed the prettiest of them.
Scarcely was the commission drawn when the Comte de Soissons, attacked with fever, died, to the joy of the Breton and Norman traders, whose jubilation, however, found a speedy end. Henri de Bourbon, Prince de Conde, first prince of the blood, assumed the vacant protectorship.

Brown, a shipper on the wharf, who knew all about Cape Breton, and could tell us exactly how to get there. It is needless to say that a weight was taken off our minds. We pinned our faith to Brown, and sought him in his warehouse. Brown was a prompt business man, and a traveler, and would know every route and every conveyance from Nova Scotia to Cape Breton. Mr. Brown was not in. He never is in.
They say he has left Quebec; what more know you?" "'Tis no secret, Monsieur," replied De Artigny quietly enough, although there was a flash in his eyes, as they met mine. "The Sieur de la Salle has sailed for France." "France! Bah! you jest; there has been no ship outward bound." "The Breton paused at St. Roche, held by the fog. When the fog lifted there was a new passenger aboard.
