She could only say that Genifrede had nursed Dessalines well; and she must have her help again now. "You will go, Genifrede," said her father; "that Madame Dessalines may be at liberty to nurse Monsieur Papalier herself." "No, no," said Therese, trembling. Genifrede also said "No." "You would not have me nurse him?" said Therese. "Any one else! Ask me to save Rochambeau.
Tell us but that must be hereafter. Do you come to me from him?" "From the government generally," replied Petion. An expression of disappointment, very evident to his watchful wife, passed over the face of Toussaint. "There is no letter," she whispered to Genifrede.
