"Do you suppose I could see the abbess, if I were to go to the convent to consult her? It is not late." "If the Dumonts were but here still!" said Pierre "only next door but one! It was a comfort to have them at hand on any difficulty." "If they were here, I should not consult them.
I have never forgotten this reply, and I made use of it when I became a colonel. In fact old Blancheville had drawn our horoscopes accurately, Gavoille became a lieutenant-colonel, Dumonts a brigadier-general and I a divisional general. On my arrival at Toulouse, I had exchanged the horse which I had bought in Spain for a delightful mount from Navarre.
If young Paul and old Auguste made things unpleasant for him, he thought himself more than a match for them. It was the thought of the suffering he had brought upon Tannis that worried him. He had not, to be sure, been a villain; but he had been a fool, and that is almost as bad, under some circumstances. The Dumonts, however, did not trouble him.
Elinor had just arrived in Prince Albert on a visit to Tom, to which she had been looking forward during the five years since he had married and moved out West from Avonlea. As I have already said, she was very beautiful at that time, and Carey fell in love with her at the first moment of their meeting. During the next three weeks he went to town nine times and called at the Dumonts' only once.
As for the others, whom he called the block-heads, he simply shrugged his shoulders when they did not know their drill or made mistakes during exercises, but he never punished them for it. There were two or three sous-lieutenants whom he had picked out, they were MM. Gavoille, Dumonts and me. In our case he would not suffer an incorrectly given order, and punished us for the slightest mistake.
