Humbled to the point of exasperation, Vincent throw himself over the ship's side into the boat, and never more saw the face of an Ouverture. "I have nothing left but you," sobbed Aimee "but you and my mother. If they kill you my mother will die, and I shall be desolate." "Your brothers, my child." "No, no. I have tried all. I left you to try. I loved you always; but I thought I loved others more.
Aimee wrapped her two children in her skirt, as if to protect them. Veronique, her face in her hands, did not move. Aunt Agathe, very pale, made the sign of the cross, and mumbled Paters and Aves. Meanwhile the spectacle about us became of sovereign grandeur. The night retained the clearness of a summer night.
"If it be so, may indeed Heaven forgive you! Moyse hates the whites: and you see how wretched we are!" "Aimee, do not be hard. We are made to love my heart inclines to all who are about me: but if there are some if one cannot Oh, Aimee, do not be hard!" "It is those who hate who are hard," said Aimee, whose tears fell fast, in sympathy with Afra's. "Is it not so, Afra?"
So without even as much reasoning as has been here given, Aimee made her preparations, swallowing down the tears that would overflow her eyes, and drop into the little trunk she was packing so neatly. And by her side, on the ground, sate the child, now nearly two years old; and for him Aimee had always a smile and a cheerful word.
He recalled, with peculiar pain, a woodchuck that he had penned up as a boy, and he hoped with extraordinary passion that the poor beast had made another hole. Never again, he resolved, would he pen up a living creature, never again, if only again he could see the light of day and breathe the free air.... He thought of Aimée. And when he thought of her his heart seemed to turn to water.
Isaac, had, however, promised Madame Leclerc to return by an appointed hour. There could be no difficulty, he said, in going to Pongaudin any day: but to-day he had promised that they would both return to Madame Leclerc. Aimee, therefore, bade her father farewell for the present only for a very little while. He must tell her mother that they should certainly meet very soon.
No tears! no terrors, my Aimee! By being mine, and going with me to that place where all are happy to Paris you will, through my interest, best aid your father; and Isaac and I will watch over you for ever." "Not a word more, Vincent! You make me wretched. Not a word more, till I have spoken to my father. He must, he will tell me what he thinks, what he expects whether he fears. Hark!
But I see how it is," he added, stooping, and speaking low to her mother, while he glanced at Moyse "she has learned at last the old song that she would not listen to when I wanted to tell her fortune: "`Your heart's your own this summer day; To-morrow 'twill be changed away. "And Aimee is she married?" "Aimee is a widow at least, so we call her," said her mother, smiling.
It is always going on without you." "I have a passion for the sea," he murmured. "I would like to wring the neck of the cook, chloroform the dog, buy Marie Aimée some lawn tennis shoes, and have a daily box of flowers from Paris." "They shall be ordered at once." "I should also like," she was looking out to sea, "to fill the hotel with people." "You flatter me," he murmured.
"All that is a good deal changed now, I hear," said Paul. "The whites at Cap are following the example of the rebels at Paris, and do not rely upon God, as on their side, as they used to do." "Will God leave off taking care of them, then?" asked Denis, "and take care only of us?" "No," said Aimee. "God is willing, Isaac says, to take care of all men, whether they serve him or not."
