"O my grief, always on the side of the corpse, that can thank nobody for naught!" was his snarling comment. "What about those turnips from Denise Gareau, numskull?" he grunted, in a voice between a sneer and a snort. The apprentice was unmoved.
He sniffed, rubbed his nose with a forefinger, laboriously wrote for a moment, and then added: Ditto to Madame Denise Gareau for turnips for supper after obs'quies ...................... 10 sols "Saperlote, leave out the Madame, calf-lugs , you!" The apprentice did not move a finger. Obstinacy sat enthroned on him. In a rage, the Master made a snatch at a metal flower-wreath to throw at him.
The army was his devoted servant; Italy and the world should see how different was his moderation from the rapacity of the republic and its tools, vandals like the commissioners Gareau and Salicetti. Such was the "leisure" of one who to all outward appearance was but a man, and a very ordinary one.
Louis, Quebec, with pompous firing of cannon and other demonstrations of welcome. So eager were the French to take possession of the new land that thirty young men equipped themselves to go back with the Indians; and the Jesuits sent out two priests, Leonard Gareau and Gabriel Dreuillettes, with a lay helper, Louis Boësme.

Radisson and Groseillers knew the penalties of ignoring this order. They asked the Jesuits to intercede for them. Though Gareau had been slain trying to ascend the Ottawa and Father Ménard had by this time preached in the forests of Lake Michigan, the Jesuits had made no great discoveries in the Northwest. All they got for their intercessions was a snub.
The sixty canoes left Quebec with more firing of guns for a God-speed; but at Lake St. Peter the Mohawks ambushed the flotilla. The enterprise of exploring the Great Beyond was abandoned by all the French but two. Gareau, who was mortally wounded on the Ottawa, probably by a Frenchman or renegade hunter, died at Montreal; and Dreuillettes did not go farther than Lake Nipissing.
