The doctor told the bourgeois that Courant was to go with his train to California, and the apple-cheeked factor grinned and raised his eyebrows: "Vous avez de la chance! He's a good guide. Even Kit Carson, who conducted the General Fremont, is no better." The general satisfaction did not extend to Susan. The faint thrill of antagonism that the man had roused in her persisted.
"If people in a better world are really au courant as to the affairs of this, I should like Lady Jane Vawdrey to know that I am not utterly without the instincts of a gentlewoman." She wandered on, following the winding of the lanes, careless where she went, and determined to take advantage of her liberty. She met few people, and of those she did not trouble herself to ask her way.
Courant, standing on his saddle, saw no promise of it, nothing but the level distance streaked with white mountain rims, and far to the south a patch of yellow bare sand, he said, as he pointed a horny finger to where it lay. They camped in the glare and opened the casks. After the meal they tried to rest, but the sun was merciless.

But in 1721 James Franklin, much against the advice of his friends, started a rival paper, the "New England Courant," which the young apprentice had to carry about to subscribers after helping it through the press.
But the reference of the present writer was to another production of the great logician, thus spoken of in a quotation from "the accomplished editor of the Hartford 'Courant," to be found in Professor Smyth's introduction: "It has long been a matter of private information that Professor Edwards A. Park, of Andover, had in his possession an published manuscript of Edwards of considerable extent, perhaps two thirds as long as his treatise on the will.
Courant clasped his hands behind his head and gazed ruminantly before him. "Do you know how she'll live, that 'poor Lucy'?" "Like a squaw." He was unshaken by her contempt, did not seem to notice it. "They'll go by ways that wind deep into the mountains.
When they ceased and the quiet had resettled, the Mormon woman rose and put away her sewing. "I don't seem to have no more ambition to work," she said and walked away.

She was up there helping with water and rags a strong, nervy girl.
The sessions of both Volksraads shall be held in public, unless the majority in special cases resolve to revoke the publicity. Each Volksraad shall keep minutes of its transactions. It shall have these published regularly in the Staats Courant, except the notes of the secret sittings, which shall only be partly published with the consent of the First Volksraad.
