Laurent Goussard must therefore have been thunderstruck when he read the following letter: Your proposal does not suit me. My conscience will not allow me to buy property below its proper value. In a word, my friend, I wish to pay you more than you ask; let me know if that suits you. Laurent Goussard thought at first that either she had misunderstood him or he her.
Personally Laurent Goussard has become her slave, her henchman. He does no business, he takes no step, he never moves a sack of flour without going to her for advice; and, as she said in joke the other day, if she took a fancy to make a John the Baptist of the sub-prefect, Laurent Goussard would bring her his head on a charger.
"Danton died April 5, 1794. To be his son, I must have been born no later than January, 1795, which would make me forty-four years old to-day. But the register of my birth, and I somewhat hope my face, make me out exactly thirty." "Yes, you are right," said Laurent Goussard; "figures demolish my idea; but no matter, we'll vote for you all the same."
At the period when Mother Marie-des-Anges was authorized to reconstitute her community, Laurent Goussard, who had not made much by his purchase, went to see the good abbess, and proposed to her to buy back the former property of her convent.
Poly Goussard displayed twenty dazzling teeth and made haste to follow. The three men entered the store and found seats on boxes and bales. "Me, I work all winter at Fort Enterprise," said Poly. "So I heard," said Peter. "You've had quite a trip." The rosy half-breed shrugged. "It is easy. Jus' floatin' down the Spirit River six days."
Her gratitude, thus openly shown to the memory of the great revolutionist, has been of course to the revolutionary party a potent recommendation, but not the only one. In Arcis the leader of the advanced Left is a rich miller named Laurent Goussard, who possesses two or three mills on the river Aube.
Laurent Goussard, who, as I told you in a former letter, was Danton's friend, was also, in a way, his brother-in-law; for Danton, who was something of a gallant, had been on close terms for several years with the miller's sister.
The man climbing over his family indiscriminately, landed and came up the bank with outstretched hand. The woman and children remained sitting like statues in their narrow craft, staring unwinkingly at the white men. Mrs. Goussard as a full-blooded Cree was considerably below Peter's half-breed wife in the social scale, and she knew better than to make a call uninvited.
