At last Michikamau, which I had so longed to see through two summers of hardship in the Labrador wilds, was near, and I could hope to be rewarded with a look at it within the week. But with the joy of it there was also a sadness, for I must part from three of my loyal companions.

And then it was natural, since I love you. And you know it." She knew very well that all she could say would only irritate him. He asked her whether that was the way she spoke in the Rue Spontini.

Making an effort, however, to disguise her emotion, she pretended to accost him with the calm and cordial friendship of former times. "Why, good-morning, Claudet," said she, "you come just in time. A quarter of an hour later you would not have found me. Will you come in and rest a moment?"
