Probably De Monts had some part in arranging the marriage, for Nicholas Boulle was a Huguenot and De Monts appears as a witness to the notarial documents. Subsequently, Madame Champlain became an enthusiastic Catholic and ended her days as a nun. She had no children, and was only once in Canada, residing continuously at Quebec from 1620 to 1624.
The robin had perched himself on the limb of a dead fir tree, and began a gay song. "You had better go farther away from your enemy," she counselled. Then to the canoeist "Will you let me come in and go down the river?" "Yes, I will take you down. What did you do with young Boullé?" She colored a little. "I want to tell you." "I saw you both up on the cliff." "I came away and left him."
Her husband assisted her, with the tenderest care. Was he happy with her, when she was only half his age? M. Destournier wondered. When they started, a salute was fired. He was leaving his new fort but half completed. "Who was that pretty young girl who kept so close to the Héberts?" Eustache Boullé asked his sister. "There, talking to that group of Indian women."
He broke it open, but the golden purple juice ran over his hand. "It is the wine of sunshine. Here is to thy health, Rose of Quebec." "M. Boullé is in there," nodding. "He came out in the wood and found me up the tree," and she laughed gayly.

"Are you very angry because I could not take M. Boullé for a husband?" she inquired timidly. "Oh, no, no. It was your life, Mademoiselle, for sorrow or joy. You only had the right to choose." The bronze lashes quivered sensitively upon her cheeks, and a soft flush seemed to tangle itself among them. "Is it joy, M'sieu?" in a low tone. "It ought to be."
About the end of 1610 or early in 1611 Champlain, in Paris, espoused a very youthful lady, named Hélène Boullé, daughter of the King's private secretary. She was a Huguenot, though subsequently converted by her husband. She visited Canada in 1620, and remained about four years. Champlain went to France before winter, and was there detained nearly two years by the affairs of the company.
Louis XIV was a man with a will of iron and made it absolute law during his long reign of seventy-two years. His ideal was splendor, and he encouraged great men in the intellectual and artistic world to do their work, and shed their glory on the time. Condé, Turenne, Colbert, Molière, Corneille, La Fontaine, Racine, Fénélon, Boulle, Le Brun, are a few among the long and wonderful list.
