You will help me. We shall want for nothing." And he took her into his lonely habitation beside the Falls of Montmorenci, where in effect the two spent a tranquil, easy existence. At the end of three years, the son of a farmer of Charlesbourg fell in love with the girl, and spite of his attachment, Batoche consented to a marriage between them.
The Canadian troops were soon able to continue their forward movement and won a decisive victory at Batoche, in which Colonels Williams, Straubenzie, and Grasett notably distinguished themselves. Riel was soon afterwards captured on the prairie, but Dumont succeeded in crossing the frontier of the United States.
Batoche remained with them two days, endearing himself still more to both, if that were possible, by his kind, intelligent attentions. When he was on the point of departure, Pauline said to him: "Do not tell anybody that I am here." "But I thought you said you wanted to see Zulma?" "Not now. A little later." "Very well. I will not tell anybody. I did not intend to."
He was a son of that gallant officer, Inspector "Jack" French, leader of "French's Scouts" in the second Rebellion, who was killed by a half-breed sniper after having driven Riel's men from their coverts in one section of the fight at Batoche.
Rapidly as these surmises passed through his mind he had not time to resolve them, before Batoche resumed in these simple words: "I am returning at once to Sieur Sarpy's." For a moment Cary was unable to make a syllable of reply. He looked hard at the old man as if to fathom his inmost thoughts. But the latter did not flinch.
Wherever you lead, Batoche, I will follow. Tell her this, and now, adieu." "Adieu?" said Batoche inquiringly. "Yes, I will return home. I have had an agreeable ride. I might perhaps have advanced a little further, but now that I have met you, and received this precious letter, I am satisfied." "It is not yet late in the forenoon," replied Batoche. "Mademoiselle might tarry somewhat longer.
With your help, I am certain that she will do so. It is my only comfort on my departure, together with the assurance that you will always be her friend and mine." Batoche, too, had a word with Zulma.
The railway formed the base from which three military expeditions could be despatched to the most important points of the Saskatchewan country one direct to Batoche, a second to Battleford, and a third for a flank movement to Fort Edmonton, where a descent could be made down the North Saskatchewan for the purpose of recapturing Fort Pitt and attacking the rebellious Indians under Big Bear.
If she had known you were coming to-day, she would be here herself to make it." It was now Pauline's turn to speak. "No, no, not there," she said, shaking her head and colouring deeply. "I am most anxious to see Zulma. Indeed, I must see her, but not at her house." Again, Batoche did not urge his suggestion.
Your visit has done me a world of good." The little grey eyes of Batoche were fixed like gimlets on the wall opposite, at the line where it touched the ceiling. There was a glassy light in them. He had gone off suddenly into one of his absent moods. But it was only for a moment.
