What with the collapse of the war scare, and this canard about Mrs. Noel, there was indeed cause for alarm. The afternoon post brought a letter from Lord Valleys marked Express. Lady Valleys opened it with a slight grimace, which deepened as she read. Her handsome, florid face wore an expression of sadness seldom seen there.
There Hugot was at home, for he could compound an omelette, fricassee a chicken, or dress a canard aux olives, with Monsieur Soyer himself. But Hugot although for many years he had accompanied his old and young masters in the chase had no taste whatever for hunting. He had a wholesome dread of bears and panthers, and as to Indians ... Ha! Indians!
Gerard heard of this canard while he was still on the ship, and as he was travelling with Herbert Swope a denial, sent by wireless, appeared in The World, which was worse than the rumor itself. In this Swope reported that Mr. Gerard was coming over to announce the approaching beginning of ruthless submarine war.
"Who has told you that canard?" said the priest, folding his arms and leaning back as far as the little calèche would allow. "No, I did not think of doing so to-day; you doubtless heard me talking of the matter to Dr. Renaud.
"So you are introducing the canard to the political world," remarked Lousteau. "It is simply the Chabot affair carried into the region of abstract ideas," said Finot. "Fasten intentions on the Government, and then let loose public opinion."
He simply forwarded General Phelps's resignation to Washington, with the earnest request that the Government would proclaim some policy in regard to the contrabands, and shortly after, learning that the story of an intended attack on the city at that time was a canard, allowed the matter to drop.
Henley himself was disposed to regard the report as a false one, a canard set afloat by the irrepressible Wrinkle, who would joke as readily about the dead as the living. But even the shrewd business man himself was convinced one morning by the appearance of Wrinkle, who had dismounted from a fine horse at the hitching-post and came in lashing the legs of his baggy trousers with a riding-whip.

The Opposition is weakly and insignificant enough in all conscience, without courting further unpopularity by floating British public feeling in this way, and encouraging the cranks among its following to bring ridicule upon the country. "The absurd canard to which we have referred is maliciously ill-timed. It will doubtless be reported on the Continent, and may injure us there.
They steer for the mouths of the Canard and Gaspereau. Some are already close at hand. The strange light of the 'Eye of Gluskâp, is on the sails of all. From somewhere I hear voices singing, 'Nos bonnes gens reviendront. The sound of it comes beating on the wind. Hark! how it swells over the marshes!"
