"That Iroquois, who belongs to the North-West trappers " "Pays d'En Haut?" asks Paul, speaking for the first time. "Yes," I answered, "and they all disappeared with the woman and the child the day before the storm." The Mute's eyes were back on the snow. "Now," said I, "I'll make you a rich man if you take me straight to the place where he's hiding."
To each bit of courtesy done eagerly to her there was her grave "I thank you," at each portage and line her hand to the rope, her shoulder to the pack, and all in the simple unconsciousness of her womanhood that made her what she was, a leader. Before forty-eight hours had passed they would have followed her to the brink of death, to the Pays d'en Haut, to the heart of an hostile camp.
Some have labored hoping to reform their generation, others have written to offer solutions for life's many problems. Beaumarchais, whose penetrating wit left few subjects untouched, makes his Figaro put the subject aside with "Je me presse de rire de tout, de peur d'etre oblige d'en pleurer." The author of this little volume pretends to settle no disputes, aims at inaugurating no reforms.
In a far high hill of the Pays d'en Haut we put her to sleep with that last look of love on her dark face...and we made a pact to lie beside her when our time should come, he who out-lived the other to see the rites of the Death Feast. He has joined her. I saw his rites.

If monopolists of New France, through envy, sacrificed Quebec's first claim to the unknown land, Frontenac made haste to repair the loss. Father Albanel, a Jesuit, and other missionaries led the way westward to the Pays d'En Haut.
Could he marry a girl who had been a ballet-dancer, and who had come into an unexpected heritage? "Es-tu fou d'en douter?" cried Edgar. "What a sublime occasion to manifest thy scorn of the miserable banalities of the bourgeoisie! It will but increase thy moral power over the people. And then think of the money. What an aid to the cause! What a capital for the launch! journal all thine own!
Apart from his immediate success in building under the eyes of the Iroquois a fort at the outlet of Lake Ontario, Frontenac profited greatly by entering the heart of the Indian world in person. He was able, for a time at least, to check those tribal wars which had hampered trade and threatened to involve the colony. He gained much information at first hand about the pays d'en haut.
