"It is a marriage our great Archbishop at Lambeth Palace will uphold against a hundred popes and kings," said the chaplain with importance. "You are no priest, but holy peddler!" cried Gabord roughly. "This is not mating as Christians, and fires of hell shall burn aho! I will see you all go down, and hand of mine shall not be lifted for you!"
I saw the friendly spirit in the words. "Voban," urged I, "Voban may come to me?" "The Intendant said no, but the Governor yes," was the reply; "and that M'sieu' Doltaire is not yet come back from Montreal, so he had no voice. They look for him here to-morrow." "Voban may come?" I asked again. "At daybreak Voban aho!" he continued.
You remember what she said?" "Tonnerre, you shall see to-morrow," he answered; "now all the sheep go bleating with the bell. Bigot Bigot Bigot there is nothing but Bigot! But, pish! Vaudreuil the Governor is the great man, and Montcalm, aho! son of Mahomet! You shall see. Now they dance to Bigot's whistling; he will lock her safe enough to-morrow, 'less some one steps in to help her.

"Let no man put asunder," she answered softly and solemnly. "Aho!" said Gabord, and turned his head away. Then the door shut upon me, and though I am no Catholic, I have no shame in saying that I kissed the feet on the crucifix which her lips had blessed.
"His sister it was his sister," said I, "that brought him back to life?" "Like that aho! They said she must not come, but she will have her way. Straight she goes to the palace at night, no one knowing but guess who? You can't but no!" A light broke in on me.
Before to-night she never spoke of him before the world but a poor daft thing, going about all sad and wild. She missed her chance to-night aho!" "Why are you not with Montcalm's soldiers?" I asked. "You like him better." "I was with him, but my time was out, and I left him for Bigot. Pish! I left him for Bigot, for the militia!" He raised his thumb to his nose, and spread out his fingers.
"Aho, aho, aho," shouted the voice and after another period of silence there arose answering voices and then the sound of bodies crashing through the corn and the excited chatter of children. A dog came running along the row where she lay and stood beside her. His cold nose touched her face and she sat up. The dog ran away. The Leander boys passed.
"'Tis dickey-bird, aho!" cried he. There was exultation in his eye and voice. Here was a chance for him to prove himself against me; he had proved himself for me more than once. "Here was I," added he, "making for M'sieu' Voban, that he might come and bleed a sick soldier, when who should come running but our English captain! Come forth, aho!" "No, Gabord," said I, "I'm bound for freedom."
So I spoke to Gabord. "Voban! Voban!" said he. "Does dickey-bird play at peacock still? Well, thou shalt see Voban. Thou shalt go trimmed to heaven aho!" Presently I asked him if he would bear a message to the Governor, asking permission for the Seigneur Duvarney to visit me, if he were so inclined.
