Their names were as follows: Abraham Martin and his wife Marguerite Langlois, and his two daughters, Anne and Marguerite; Pierre Desportes and his wife Françoise Langlois, and a girl named Hélène; Nicholas Pivert and his wife Marguerite Lesage, and their niece; Louis Hébert and his wife Marie Rollet, and a son named Guillaume; Adrien Duchesne and his wife; Guillaume Couillard, his wife, Guillemette Hébert, and a girl named Louise; Champlain and his wife Hélène Boullé.

The eldest daughter, Guillemette, who had married one Guillaume Couillard, came down from Tadoussac, and they took his place on the farm. Hers had been the first wedding in Quebec. Rose felt that this must change the home for her. She had counted on going back to them. There were days when she grew very tired of miladi's whims and inanities, and longed to fly to her beloved wood.

Then from above a delicate and cool voice was audible. "You have mistaken the window, Monsieur de Montcorbier. Ysabeau de Montigny dwells in the Rue du Fouarre." "Ah, cruel!" sighed Francois. "Will you never let that kite hang upon the wall?" "It is all very well to groan like a bellows. Guillemette Moreau did not sup here for nothing.

The family has been traced back to a grandfather who lived in the middle of the fifteenth century. This Jean Cartier, or Quartier, who was born in St Malo in 1428, took to wife in 1457 Guillemette Baudoin. Of the four sons that she bore him, Jamet, the eldest, married Geseline Jansart, and of their five children the second one, Jacques, rose to greatness as the discoverer of Canada.

"One can only see one eye," observed Damoiselle Guillemette; "there is a wart on the other." "It's not a wart," returned Master Robert Mistricolle, "it is an egg which contains another demon exactly similar, who bears another little egg which contains another devil, and so on." "How do you know that?" asked Guillemette la Mairesse. "I know it pertinently," replied the protonotary.

The sound of military music and the tramp of marching men could be heard approaching louder and louder. Five girls had forced their way to the very front row of the throne and were applauding and shouting with the rest. These were the light ladies of the Fircone, Isabeau, Jehanneton, Denise, and Blanche with Guillemette, fat Robin Turgis' fat daughter.

"Horrible!" said the Rue Saint Jacques, and drew a moral of suitably pious flavor. Guillemette Moreau had told Catherine of the affair before the day was aired. The girl's hurt vanity broke tether. "Sermaise!" said she. "Bah, what do I care for Sermaise! He killed him in fair fight.

But within an hour, Guillemette, within a half-hour after leaving me, he is junketing on church-porches with that trollop. They were not there for holy-water. Midnight, look you! And he swore to me chaff, chaff! His honor is chaff, Guillemette, and his heart a bran-bag. Oh, swine, filthy swine! Eh, well, let the swine stick to his sty. Send Noel d'Arnaye to me."

Gaudy, painted, assertive strumpets with young, fair, shameless faces worthy Jills of the ill-favoured Jacks who cuddled them Jehanneton, the fair helm-maker; Denise, Blanche, Isabeau, and Guillemette, the landlord's daughter, who consorted gaily enough with these brightly-plumaged birds of a rogue's paradise. But the sixth woman was a bird of quite another feather.

"Guillemette Maugerepuis, just look at that bull's muzzle; it only lacks the horns. It can't be your husband." "Another!" "Belly of the pope! what sort of a grimace is that?" "Hola he! that's cheating. One must show only one's face." "That damned Perrette Callebotte! she's capable of that!" "Good! Good!" "I'm stifling!" "There's a fellow whose ears won't go through!" Etc., etc.
