Abbé Tanguay, who is almost infallible on French-Canadian matters, slips up on Radisson, because his writings preceded the publication of the Radisson Relations. The five writers who have attempted to redeem Radisson's memory from ignominy are: Dr. N. E. Dionne, of the Parliamentary Library, Quebec; Mr. Justice Prudhomme, of St. Boniface, Manitoba; Dr. George Bryce, of Winnepeg, Mr.
The old man's mouth trembled; he was frightened. "What you hear?" he faltered. "Only good things. That she was very tender and went with you to the grave." "Oui," admitted Etienne, visibly relieved and grasping at this opportunity. "She's sweet and good. She's play-mamma." "And her name is Zelie Dionne?" she asked, her face growing white in the dusk.
And he wondered because there was joy in her tones. Old Etienne came to the gate with his lantern; the big turbines were stilling their rumble and growl in the deep pits and his day's work was ended. "P'r'aps you may walk to Mother Maillet's with me and say the good word to Jean from Tadousac and to Zelie Dionne, who is now so very glad," suggested the old man, humbly.
There are fourteen sons and daughters of Onesime Dionne that's my father for all the habitant folks marry young, and the priest smiles and blesses the household when there are many children. And girls are not of much account in the house. The sons claim and receive their shares of the arpents of land when those boys are grown and married. The girl may marry yes!
Cartwright is now at sea." It plainly could not have been written while en route across the Atlantic with Sir George Cartwright, for it records events after that time. Robson's Hudson Bay. See Dr. N. E. Dionne, also Marie de l'Incarnation, but Sulte discredits this granting of a title. See Robson's Hudson Bay, containing reference to the journal kept by Gorst, Bayly's secretary, at Rupert Fort.
There are many roads to take in this life and if any one goes to her with prayer and humble soul she will guide. Ah, it is true, sir." There was earnestness in her features and conviction in her tones and it was plain that Zelie Dionne was speaking out of the depths of her heart, and Farr remembered what old Etienne had said about the son of Farmer Leroux.
But I see some very queer look in Jean Leroux's eye when he say to me as I meet him at the gate of his fadder's farm, 'And how carries Zelie Dionne herself these days? And though he look high over the tree and chew the straw and look very careless, ah, I see the big tear in his eye and hear him choke in his throat."
You may take the initiative by introducing into family conversation some topic of current interest which will promote questions incubator babies, the Dionne quintuplets, child marriages, the recent thirteen-year-old father. Pets are marvelous biological laboratories white mice, rabbits, puppies, snakes, turtles. Of course there must be mates and matings.
Farr entered by the kitchen door and stood there, looking in with some confusion on the girl and child. "It is only Zelie Dionne; she is my boarder," the woman informed him. "She is a good girl and she has the very nice job in the cloth-hall of the big Haxton mill. She lives with me because I was neighbor of her good folks in the Tadousac country, so far away from here in our Canada. Come!
"I may be a poor judge," acknowledged Farr. "I have never yet taken root in the soil of any one place." "And I think, mebbe, the girl you do not understand! Is it to stay in the home and hear every day about you love the pig of a Leroux, bah? No, no, m'sieu'! That's too proud, is Zelie Dionne. And so is Zelie Dionne too proud to take a son from a home that do not want her. So they wait."
