"Yes, monsieur," answered Gaspard, with the pride we take in distinction of any kind. "But you came to live in Beauport parish." "Does a goat turn to a pig, monsieur, because you carry it to the north shore?" "Perhaps so: everything changes." Sainte-Hélène leaned forward, resting his arms on the arms of the chair. He wrinkled his eyelids around central points of fire. "What is a loup-garou?"
You will soon need it all," said a voice in a low tone. The hunter immediately recognized Barbin, a farmer of Beauport. "What are you doing here?" "No time for questions to-night. You will know later." "And who are those in the thicket yonder?" "My friends and yours." Batoche shook his head dubiously, and muttered something about going forward to satisfy himself by personal inspection.
There were still several cases of crucifixes of all sizes, having the appearance of silver but were found to be of iron, covered with the thinnest tinsel. The priests pleaded hard to have them preserved. "No," said Captain Beauport, firmly; "I will be no party to your impostures.

Indeed, at that period, the country in the immediate vicinity of the Falls of Montmorenci was very sparsely settled. The nearest village, in the direction of Quebec, was Beauport, and even there the inhabitants were comparatively few. The hut of the hermit was also removed from the high road, standing about midway between it and the St.
We know from other sources that one of the sailors engaged in dragging away the fireship likened it to having "hell-fire in tow." Fraser records on Tuesday, July 31st, the disastrous attempt by the British to carry by a frontal attack Montcalm's entrenchments along the Beauport shore.
