But let her find that we have overdrawn our account with nature, then does Folly throw aside her smiling mask, become terrible with her importunities, and hound us into the grave. I am paying Folly, Monsieur," exhibiting a palsied hand. "I am paying in precious hours for the dross she lent me in my youth." Chaumonot could not contain his indignation against this fallacious reasoning.

Their occurrence is no matter of surprise, and it would be superfluous to doubt that they were recounted in good faith, and with a full belief in their reality. Still other visions are recorded by Chaumonot as occurring to Brebeuf, when they were together in the Neutral country.

At their meals, the Fathers sat on logs around the fire, over which their kettle was slung in the Indian fashion. Lettre du P. Du Peron a son Frere, 27 Avril, 1639. Chaumonot compares it to the paste used for papering the walls of houses. The repast was occasionally varied by a pumpkin or squash baked in the ashes, or, in the season, by Indian corn roasted in the ear. They used no salt whatever.

Ragueneau stood motionless, waiting the blow. His assailant forbore, and withdrew, muttering. Pierre Chaumonot was emerging from a house at the Huron town called by the Jesuits St. Michel, where he had just baptized a dying girl, when her brother, standing hidden in the doorway, struck him on the head with a stone.

I am not giving a thousand livres for an 'Absolvo te. Perhaps, after all," and the marquis smiled maliciously, "I am giving you this money to embarrass Monsieur du Rosset, the most devout Catholic in Rochelle. I have heard that he has refused to aid you." "I shall not look into your purpose," said Chaumonot. "Monsieur," said Brother Jacques musically, "I am about to ask a final favor."

"And you are Father Chaumonot?" said the marquis turning to the elder. His glance discovered a finely modeled head, a high benevolent brow, eyes mild and intelligent, a face marred neither by greed nor by cunning; not handsome, rather plain, but wholesome, amiable, and with a touch of those human qualities which go toward making a man whole.

"Whenever Father Chaumonot thinks it safe and men can be spared, he will make preparations. It will be before the winter sets in." Madame sat down upon an adjacent boulder, and reflected. "Shall I gather you some chestnuts, Madame? They are not so ripe as they might be, but I daresay the novelty of eating them here in the wilderness will appeal to your appetite."

The Chevalier, Victor and the vicomte were given rooms in the citadel; D'Hérouville accepted the courtesy of the governor and became a resident of the château; father Chaumonot, Major du Puys, and his selected recruits, had already made off for Onondaga. A word from Father Chaumonot into the governor's ear promoted the Chevalier to a lieutenancy in lieu of Nicot's absence in Onondaga.

"The Chevalier du Cévennes: the ways of God are inscrutable." "In what way, my son?" asked Chaumonot. "I met the Chevalier in Paris." Brother Jacques folded his arms and stared absently at his plate.

Le Jeune, Massé, Brébeuf, Lalemant, Ragueneau, Le Dablon, Jogues, Gamier, Raymbault, Péron, Moyne, Allouez, Druilletes, Chaumonot, Ménard, Bressani, Daniel, Chabanel, and a hundred others, they soon formed that legion whose works of courage and devotion stand forth so prominently in the early annals of New France.
