My father translated what I said into English, and it seemed to me that he added something more which made everybody laugh, for the old grandfather winked his eye several times and said, "Fine dog!" "This is what I suggest," said my father, "that is if Mattia would like to live with us?" "I want to stay with Remi," replied Mattia. "Well, this is what I propose," continued my father.
Caesar again summoned the chiefs to come to him, and between threats and encouragements succeeded in preventing a general rising. But the tribes on the upper Seine broke into disturbance. The Aedui and the Remi alone remained really loyal; and it was evident that only a leader was wanted to raise the whole of Gaul. Caesar himself admitted that nothing could be more natural.
You know that to-day is Pancake day, and because you think we haven't any butter and milk you don't dare speak. Isn't that so, eh? "Oh, Mother." "I didn't mean that Pancake day should be so bad after all for my little Remi. Look in that bin." I lifted up the lid quickly and saw some milk, butter, eggs, and three apples. "Give me the eggs," she said; "while I break them, you peel the apples."
All that wonderful history, since Clovis was baptized by Saint Remi; and Charlemagne crowned, and Charles the VII, with Jeanne d'Arc looking on in bright armour, and various Capets, and enough other kings to name Notre-Dame of Rheims the "Cathedral of Coronations."

It seemed to me that a watch was a sort of confidential friend of whom one could ask advice and to whom one could talk. "Friend watch, what's the time?" "Just twelve o'clock, my dear Remi." "Really! Then it's time for me to do this or that.
"The words mean nothing," said Arthur; "they are stupid, but the things that one sees! Remi made me see the shepherd with his flute, and the fields, and the dogs, and the sheep, then the wolves, and I could even hear the music that the shepherd was playing. Shall I sing the song to you, Mamma?" And he sang a little sad song in English. This time Mrs.

My dear fellow, she would be furious. Oh, lord, yes; I've only to take Remi there; I should never hear the last of it!"

St. Remi was a fervent Christian and an able bishop; and "I will listen to thee, most holy father," said Clovis, "willingly; but there is a difficulty.
