'Fidele is my name, answered Imogen. 'I have a kinsman, who is bound for Italy; he embarked at Milford-Haven, to whom being going, almost spent with hunger, I am fallen into this offence. 'Prithee, fair youth, said old Bellarius, 'do not think us churls, nor measure our good minds by this rude place we live in. You are well encountered; it is almost night.
'Dame auteur, says my faithful mentor, the Biographic Generale, 'consideree comme le peintre le plus fidele de la vie rurale en Angleterre. 'Author of a remarkable tragedy, "Julian," in which Macready played a principal part, followed by "Foscari," "Rienzi," and others, says the English Biographical Dictionary.
The rest of the village was in full attendance, for it was not every day in the week that the "tambour," the town-crier, had business enough to render his appearance, in his official capacity, necessary; as a mere townsman he was to be seen any hour of the day, as drunk as a lord, at the sign of "L'Ami Fidele."
After that, Fidele, still on the scent, led me up the steep bank of the Black River, where he again stopped, and barked with all his might. This was on the brink of a spring, near which was a fallen palm-tree, and a fire, still smoking. At last he led me to this very spot. We are now at the foot of the mountain of the Three Breasts, and still a good four leagues from home.
"Fidele is my name," answered Imogen. "I have a kinsman, who is bound for Italy; he embarked at Milford-Haven, to whom being going, almost spent with hunger, I am fallen into this offence." "Prithee, fair youth," said old Bellarius, "do not think us churls, nor measure our good minds by this rude place we live in. You are well encountered; it is almost night.
You shall have better cheer before you depart, and thanks to stay and eat it. Boys, bid him welcome." "And then," said Polydore to his brother, "how angel-like he sings!" They also remarked to each other that though Fidele smiled so sweetly, yet so sad a melancholy did overcloud his lovely face, as if grief and patience had together taken possession of him.
No, I can receive no commendation in the presence of Toulan, the most loyal, the bravest, the most prudent of us all; for Toulan is the soul of every thing, and our martyr queen confessed it in giving him the highest of all titles of honor, in calling him Fidele, a title which will remain for centuries." "Yes, you are right," said Dr. Naudin, laying his hand on the shoulder of Dr. Saunier.
A heavy sigh escaped from the lips of the queen, and, throwing her arms around the dauphin with a convulsive motion, she murmured: "My son, oh, my dear son! May God take my life if He will but spare thine!" Where was Toulan? Where had he been all this dreadful day? "Where was Fidele the brave, the indefatigable?
"Surely," said Virginia, "it is Fidele, our own dog: yes, now I know his bark. Are we then so near home? at the foot of our own mountain?" A moment after, Fidele was at their feet, barking, howling, moaning, and devouring them with his caresses. Before they could recover from their surprise, they saw Domingo running towards them.
I recall, gentlemen, those fine lines which Victor Hugo applied to himself, as explaining the inspiration of his life: Fidèle au double sang qu'ont versé dans ma veine, Mon père vieux soldat, ma mère vendéenne. That double fidelity to ideas and aspirations, quite distinct, is our glory in Canada.
