Some of my Acquaintance, who have try'd these Directions, approve of them; and, for my own part, I think them as agreeable as any that I have eaten: but as the Taste is not alike in every one, I shall add an Observation or two more of Monsieur Garneau's, concerning the Mushroom, which I think not unworthy our notice.
"Come on, then," cried Kalman, as Mackenzie reached for the bottle. "Come and show me how." "There iss no hurry," said the deliberate Mackenzie, drinking his glass with slow relish. "But first the pitaties are to be got over from Garneau's." Again and again, and with increasing rage, Kalman sought to drag Mackenzie away from his bottle and to his work.
It is written with much fervour, from the point of view of a French Canadian, imbued with a strong sense of patriotism, and is the best monument ever raised to Papineau; for that brilliant man is M. Garneau's hero, to whose political virtues he is always kind, and to whose political follies he is too often insensible.
But at noon Mackenzie rode back to report that nowhere could the stallion be seen, that he had rounded up Garneau's ponies without coming across any sign of the stallion. "I am afraid he has got across the Eagle," said French, "and if he has once got on to those plains, there will be the very deuce to pay. Well, get a move on, and try the country across the creek first. No, hold on.
Dismay, therefore, smote the ranch, when Mackenzie announced one morning that Black Joe had broken out and was gone. "He can't be far away," said French; "take a circle round towards the east. He has likely gone off with Garneau's bunch."
All that, however, by way of parenthesis. Garneau's history, of which we have a fair translation, remains the best work of the kind, but it is not a history of Canada simply of one section and of one class of the population. Hannay's 'History of Acadia' is also a work which displays research, and skill in arranging the materials, as well as a pleasing, readable style.
Some wild duck and some bannock with black molasses, together with strong black tea, made a palatable supper after a long day on the breezy prairie. After supper the men sat smoking. "The oats in, Mac?" "They are sowed, but not harrowed yet. I will be doing that to-morrow in the morning." "Potato ground ready?" "Yes, the ground is ready, and the seed is over at Garneau's."
