"We can only hope for the best, aunt; and I do think Angelique loves Le Gardeur as she never loved any other." They were presently rejoined by Pierre Philibert. The Lady de Tilly and Amelie apologized for Le Gardeur's departure, he had been compelled to go to the city on an affair of urgency, and had left them to make his excuses.
Angelique sat upon her horse fixed as a statue and as pale as marble, not at the danger of the Bourgeois, whom she at once recognized, but out of fear for her lover, exposed to the menaces of the crowd, who were all on the side of the Bourgeois. Le Gardeur leaped down from his horse and advanced with a terrible imprecation upon the Bourgeois, and struck him with his whip.
"Fill as many of them as you can," suggested Vergor. "You are doubtless much away from your mother, inspecting the troops; but what will madame say if you fail to answer at her roll call to-night?" "Nothing. I should be in my father's tent at Montreal, if she had been able to go when he was ordered back there." "Who is your father?" "Le Gardeur de Repentigny."
Le Gardeur strove to be gay, and teased Amelie in playfully criticizing her programme, and, half in earnest, half in jest, arguing for the superior attractions of the Palace of the Intendant to those of the Manor House of Tilly.
"I dare hardly look in the honest eyes of Le Gardeur after nursing such a monstrous fancy as that," said she; "but my fate is fixed all the same. Le Gardeur will vainly try to undo this knot in my life, but he must leave me to my own devices." To what devices she left him was a thought that sprang not up in her purely selfish nature.
He is going to the bad, I fear more's the pity! such a nice, handsome fellow, too!" "All lies and calumny!" replied Jean, in a heat. "Le Gardeur de Repentigny is the son of my dear old seigneur. He may get drunk, but it will be like a gentleman if he does, and not like a carter, Babet, or like a " "Boatman!
"You ask what I think of the Intendant?" asked he, surprised somewhat at the question. "Yes an odd question, is it not, Le Gardeur?" and she smiled away any surprise he experienced. "Truly, I think him the most jovial gentleman that ever was in New France," was the reply; "frank and open-handed to his friends, laughing and dangerous to his foes.
Angelique had been duly informed of the return of Amelie to the city, and of her fruitless visits to the Palace to see her brother. It was no pleasure, but a source of angry disappointment to Angelique that Le Gardeur, in despair of making her his wife, refused to devote himself to her as her lover.
My saintly sister Amelie believed in your love, and sent these flowers to place in your hair when you had consented to be my wife, her sister; you will not refuse them, Angelique?" He raised his hand to place the garland upon her head, but Angelique turned quickly, and they fell at her feet. "Amelie's gifts are not for me, Le Gardeur I do not merit them!
The old soldier emphasized the word HONORABLE. "No, I had not heard of it, never expect to hear of an honorable post in the company of Bigot, Cadet, Varin, De Pean, and the rest of the scoundrels of the Friponne! Pardon me, dear, I do not class Le Gardeur among them, far from it, dear deluded boy!
