I went back again and saw him; he was still drunk and I was glad, because I thought 'This will keep him here, this will make her hate and avoid him, this will prevent the marriage'." Father Rielle, though listening intently, still kept his gaze riveted on the peculiar actions of the men outside Poussette's.
Her brother took note of this. "You had better sit," he murmured. "I will not! In this room you know I have never sat here since You know the vow I made. And why." "I know, my sister, I know. Nevertheless, sit now." Father Rielle turned half round. "Sit, my daughter. It will not be for long." And from Dr. Renaud came the sharp order: "Sit at once."
A quick jealousy animated the priest's eager question. "I am, but we can make room for you. Certainly, my friend, we are neither of us so very stout and you are thin; you shall sit in our laps oh yes, I take no denial! You shall come with us, Father Rielle, and we three shall descend upon this sick seigneur of yours and his housekeeper and see what they are doing.
Although that unnatural dark is over, the shades of the true night will soon be falling and it is lonely here. So the sooner you go the better." "But where can I go? Will it not be better to remain here with you until Father Rielle returns?" "I think not he is slow that priest! See if you go now, you will surely overtake him.
It was Sunday morning and at eleven he would have to take charge of the service and address the usual congregation as Father Rielle had already partly done, the early mass at St. Jean Baptiste-on-the-Hill being held at half past seven.
Only I do not like to see you and that other man together I always feel something happening, I do not know what! but I will tell you all about it. Father Rielle drove me to this place; we got out, came in, and then he talked most foolishly, most wildly hurt my wrist see here! And while I was wondering how I could put him off, get rid of him, I discovered that the other man was in the loft.
"It is then just between you and me, sir?" "That's the idea. Of course I shall say nothing about it to a third person. Come you promise!" Poussette seemed uneasy. "But m'sieu just you and me? That seems, sir, just same thing as go confess to Father Rielle. Beg pardon, Mr. Ringfield, but bigosh, sir that is same sure as go on the confession." Ringfield saw the point.

Martin fetched brandy while the entire Archambault family flocked out to see the sight, and stood gaping and chattering until rebuked by Father Rielle. The doctor knelt a long time at her side.
And Father Rielle answered quietly: "There is no difficulty, my son. The sin, if sin it was, is past, and even if it were not, if it still lingered in you, we would take you in and help and restore you. We refuse no man, no woman; we do not question, we do not talk, we make no guesses, we are not curious.
You don't need any educating, any furbishing up thank Heaven you were always a lady! but we'll go abroad, of course, for a while and I'll show you Paris, Pauline, Paris, where you told Father Rielle you wanted to go and act; and you shall buy all you want at the shops, and I'll take you to the Louvre. Oh, yes, and you must go and see Mme.
