The dying man peeled off the white bark of the birch, and with the juice of berries wrote upon it his death song, which was found long after by the side of his remains. His grave is now a marked spot on the Ottawa. La Complainte de Cadieux had seized the imagination of Amelie.
Then you shall see afar, rifting the darkness of night, A gleam as of dawn that spread across the starry floor, And the seaman that watch for a sign shall mark the track of their flight, A luminous pathway in Heaven and a beacon for evermore. "Do you read the riddle?" said Amelie, giving M. du Chatelet a coquettish glance.
The discussion was not yet ended when Edouard returned with his gun slung over his shoulder. "Look, brother," said he, turning to Roland; "just see what a fine present Sir John has given me." And he looked gratefully at Sir John, who stood in the doorway vainly seeking Amelie with his eyes. It was in truth a beautiful present.
Amelie divined truly from Le Gardeur's restless eyes and haggard look that a fierce conflict was going on in his breast between duty and desire, whether he should remain at home, or go to the village to plunge again into the sea of dissipation out of which he had just been drawn to land half-drowned and utterly desperate.
At four o'clock she returned, bringing word that she had seen Sir John with her own eyes getting into his travelling carriage, and that he had taken the road to Macon. Amelie could therefore feel perfectly at ease on that score. She breathed freer. She had tried to inspire Morgan with a peace of mind which she herself did not share.
Basil never forgot it; the rooms were not crowded, the pictures beautiful, and Lady Amelie in one of her most graceful moods. They both stood before a little gem by one of our first English artists, called "The Coquette's Decision," a very pretty picture that told its own story. A young girl, standing, half hesitating between two gentlemen. They looked anxious, she smiling and triumphant.
Then, letting her other hand fall into that of Roland, who was kneeling on the other side of the bed, she said: "We have forgiven each other, brother?" "Yes, dear Amelie," he replied, "and from the depths of our hearts, I hope." "I have still one last request to make." "What is it?" "Do not forget that Lord Tanlay has been my best friend."
Though you may not see me, you will hear of me. I kiss you, ROLAND. "Well, Charles," asked Amelie, when the young man had finished reading, "what do you think of that?" "That it is something we had to expect from day to day, my poor angel, but it is none the less terrible." "What is to be done?" "There are three things we can do." "Tell me."
"Don't touch me," moaned the baroness. "Don't come near me. I am a murderess. I murdered her who called me mother." She held the ivory locket toward Marie, and added: "See, this is what she was like when I deserted her my little daughter Amélie!" "Your daughter?" repeated Marie, wonderingly. "You have been married? Are you a widow?" "I am."
To features which looked as if chiselled out of the purest Parian marble, just flushed with the glow of morn, and cut in those perfect lines of proportion which nature only bestows on a few chosen favorites at intervals to show the possibilities of feminine beauty, Amelie de Repentigny added a figure which, in its perfect symmetry, looked smaller than it really was, for she was a tall girl: it filled the eye and held fast the fancy with the charms of a thousand graces as she moved or stood, suggestive of the beauty of a tame fawn, that in all its movements preserves somewhat of the coyness and easy grace of its free life.
