Leaning against one another, their eyes sparkling, their breathing oppressed, Francois and Amandine were not less anxious to know the contents of the box than their brother or sister. At length the top was forced off. "Ah!" cried the family, in a joyful tone. And all, from the mother to the little girl, crowded around the stolen case.
There is vice at the bottom; but you restrain him. Amandine, when she is once fifteen, will go alone. Ah! they have thrown stones at us, they have hunted us like mad dogs. They shall see what our family is except you, coward; for you alone make us blush!" "It is a pity." "And as you may be spoiled here with us, to-morrow you will go from this never to return."
"It's a pity they are so handsome!" said Francois. "When you have learned a trade, and earn money, you can buy some quite as handsome. Come, go to bed; it is late, children." "You are not angry, brother?" said Amandine timidly. "No, no, my girl; it is not your fault. You live with rogues you do as they do without knowing it.
These two noble generalissimi even found their way into monasteries and nunneries, and carried off their silver plate, actually, seizing the consecrated vessels used for the sacrament, saying that all such things would help the good cause. One day they entered a wealthy Bernardine monastery, where the miraculous tomb of Sainte Amandine was on view.
Before they enter the kitchen, we will relate what passed since Fleur-de-Marie had been confided to the care of the children. Francois and Amandine had just carried Fleur-de-Marie into the kitchen near the fire, when Saint Remy and Dr. Griffon, who had crossed over in Nicholas's boat, entered the house.
"You will place the children as apprentices far from this, in the provinces." "They shall remain here." "Come now, mother; when you have made them like Nicholas, Ambrose, father what good will it do you?" "To do some good business with their aid. We are not yet too many. Calabash remains here with me to keep the tavern. Nicholas is alone; once taught, Francois and Amandine will help him.
Come, keep it keep it, I tell you; or if you won't, I'll pitch it into the fire to make the pot boil." These words soothed Calabash's bad temper, and she took the shawl. Nicholas was, doubtless, in a generous mood; for, tearing off with his teeth two of the handsomest handkerchiefs, he threw them to Francois and Amandine. "That's for you, my kids, to put you in the notion to go on the lay.
It appears that he was surprised by robbers when despoiling one of these tombs. After robbing him of all that he possessed, they buried him alive in the very, grave where he was digging, so as to save expense. What a dismal sort of science! What a life, and what a death! The Monks of Sainte Amandine. The Prince of Orange Entrapped. The Drugged Wine. The Admirable Judith.
"You'll go and tell him everything, little spy! Do you think we are afraid that he'll eat us?" Then, addressing the widow, Calabash added, "Mother, this will end badly for him; he wants to lay down the law here. Nicholas is furious against him; so am I. He sets Amandine and Francois against us, against you. Can it be borne?" "No!" said the mother, in a short, harsh voice.
Amandine, some fire at once; you and your brother, bring here, near the chimney-place, a poor girl who was drowning. I saved her. She is under the arbor. Francois, a pair of pincers, a hatchet, an iron bar, so that I can break down the door of my Martial!" "Here is an ax to split wood, but it is too heavy for you," said the young boy.
