"Isaac and Aimee are in the wood. Run, Genifrede." Genifrede did not obey. She was too much terrified to leave the piazza alone; though her father gently asked when she, his eldest daughter, and almost a woman, would leave off being scared on all occasions like a child. Margot went herself; so far infected with her daughter's fears as to be glad to take little Denis in her hand.
"If they had taken that monkey which is looking down at your drawing, Aimee, and seven of its brethren, and installed them at Cap, they would have done us all the good the Commissaries have done, and far less mischief. The monkeys would have broken the mirrors, and made a hubbub within the walls of Government-house.
"Aimée!" he breathed in exultant, still half-incredulous joy. "Aimée!... Did I hurt you ?" "Oh, no, no!" came Aimée's shaken voice. "Oh, you are safe!" He felt her trembling in his clasp and he swept her close to him. For one breathless instant they clung together, in a sharp, passionate gladness which blurred every sense of dread or danger.
And that before long, depend upon it," he continued, turning on his saddle to look for Genifrede and Aimee. "They are fine girls, very fine girls for their age." When he turned again, Toussaint was no longer beside his horse. He was at the head of the march. "What a sulky fellow he is!" muttered the planter, with a smile.

She was pitying him far more than she was pitying herself. It was a work not soon over, but she finished it at length. The packets were assorted and tied with new ribbon, and she lay down for a few minutes to rest. "You will give them to him, Aimée?" she said. "I think he will come some day; but if he does not, you must keep them yourself. I should not like people to read them afterwards.
That evening we were eleven at table. Gaspard was placed next to Veronique, and he sat looking at her, forgetting his plate, so moved at the thought of her belonging to him that, at times, the tears sprang to his eyes. Cyprien and Aimee, married only three years, smiled.

"Other people go the other way about it," said Aimée. "If we were only rich!" said Mollie. "But it is a most glaringly patent fact that we are not," said Dolly. "There is one thing certain, however, it must be white."

"It should not do that," replied Aimee, as she sat looking into the water. "You should not be angry at my being happy.
Denis shook his head, as if he did not quite approve this. "Our priest told Isaac," continued Aimee, "that God sends his rain on the just and on the unjust. And do not you know that he does? When the rains come next month, will they not fall on all the plantations of the plain, as well as in the valley where the camp is?
