A young blacksmith, armed with a great club, was hanging upon my stirrup, and bounding along beside my horse with a swiftness and strength which excited my admiration. From him I heard first of the thing which had taken place. "It was De Gamache and some of the other lesser officers who designed it," he cried.
A Te Deum followed in the Jesuits' church which was now completed on the heights near their college, commenced as early as 1635 one year before the building of Harvard College through the generosity of Réné Rohault, eldest son of the Marquis de Gamache.
The Jesuits replaced them, and were able, thanks to the munificence of the son of the Marquis de Gamache, to add a college to their elementary school at Quebec. At Ville-Marie the Sulpicians, with never-failing abnegation, not content with the toil of their ministry, lent themselves to the arduous task of teaching; the venerable superior himself, M. Souart, took the modest title of headmaster.
Here and there a brave officer, with his band of chosen followers, would be presenting a bold face to the foe, making a stand and seeking to rally the flying ranks. I was certain that I saw De Gamache himself, hewing his way like a very Paladin through the ranks of the English, and dealing death and destruction wherever he went.
Surely if assault were to be made it should wait for another day. Thus they communed together a stone's throw from the Maid; but she only looked upon them with her deep inward smile, and softly I heard her speak the words: "No, it must be done today." De Gamache rode up, and some half dozen other officers with him. His face was stained with blood and blackened by smoke.
He waked to find two officers of the law beside him, and the body of Jean Gamache, stark and dreadful, a few feet away.
