The Executor of La Salle's Plan of Colonization. First Experiences of the Settlers. Bienville's Shrewdness in getting rid of the English. New Orleans Founded. Character of the Population. Indian Wars. La Salle was dead, but his bright dream of France enthroned on the Mississippi, holding in her hand the sceptre of the great West, was too vital to die.
It was weird work, in the dead of night and along the lonely roads; but we pushed on, and crept into Philadelphia between one and two in the morning." "That was a very brave, act, Mademoiselle." Bienville's eyes glistened and his face lighted up with an ardor that was not dampened by the casual, almost listless, air with which she told her story.
But Nick, who was plainly in search of something he did not find, hurried on. We soon came to the quarter which had suffered most from the fire, where new houses had gone up or were in the building beside the blackened logs of many of Bienville's time.
I said, one day, that I had won, when I hadn't won. I said it to people who welcomed my victory, not through friendship for me, but from envy of her." The perspiration began to stand in beads upon Bienville's forehead, but he held himself erect and went on with the same outward tranquillity.
I bear it; I forgive it; because it convinces me of what I've been afraid of all along that I'm a woman who throws some sort of evil influence over men. Even you are not exempt from it even you! Oh, Derek, go away from me! If you won't do it for your own sake, do it for Dorothea's. I won't do battle with Bienville's accusations now. Perhaps I may never do battle with them at all.
And this is it: In 1855 this Attalie Brouillard so called, mark you, for present convenience only lived in the French quarter of New Orleans; I think they say in Bienville street, but that is no matter; somewhere in the vieux carré of Bienville's original town.
"It is the convent of the good nuns, the Ursulines, Monsieur," he said in French, "and it was built long ago in the Sieur de Bienville's time, when the colony was young. For forty-five years, Monsieur, the young ladies of the city have come here to be educated." "What does he say?" demanded Nick, pricking up his ears as he came across the street.
What it would do is this: it would help to corroborate Bienville's word against yours." "Fortunately there are means of proving that I'm right. I can't tell you exactly what they are; but I know that, in France, when people die the registers tell just what they died of." "I've already sent for the necessary information. I've done even more than that.
"It is the convent of the good nuns, the Ursulines, Monsieur," he said in French, "and it was built long ago in the Sieur de Bienville's time, when the colony was young. For forty-five years, Monsieur, the young ladies of the city have come here to be educated." "What does he say?" demanded Nick, pricking up his ears as he came across the street.
"Do you not fear to speak with him of such as this?" "No, Madame, Bienville's soldiers do not fear him; they leave that for his enemies." And so it fell out that Jacques told the Governor. And he told him all. It was ever Bienville's wont to act with quick decision. "Order Major Boisbriant to report to me at once." And off posted Jacques upon his errand.
