As she came forward now, Grandois, taken aback, said: "Alors, they're all right, ma'm'selle, thank you. It was you sent the jellies, eh?" She nodded with a smile. "Yes, I sent them, Grandois. May I come and see madame and the boy to-morrow?" The incident had taken a favourable turn. "It's about even-things between us, Grandois?" asked Carnac, and held out his hand.
"My father hit you, but you hit him harder by forgetting about the smallpox and the rent, and also by drinking up the cash that ought to have paid the rent. It doesn't matter now that the rent was never paid, but it does that you recall the smallpox debt. Can't you say a word for me, Grandois? You're a big man here among all the workers. I'm a better Frenchman than the man I'm trying to turn out.

She had followed the experience on the Island by a visit to Grandois' house, carrying delicacies for the sick wife. Denzil had come with her, and was waiting in the street. She had almost ended her visit when the outer door opened and Luzanne Larue entered carrying a dish she placed on the table, eyeing Junia closely.
"Had we not better go somewhere else to talk, after you've seen Madame Grandois and the baby?" she asked with a smile, yet she felt she was about to face an alarming event. "Madame Grandois has spoken pleasantly of you to me," Junia added, for tact was her prompt faculty. "If you'd come where we could talk undisturbed do you see?"
He had always been popular with them, in spite of the strike he had fought, but they voted independently of their employers; and he was glad to know that most of them were with him in the fight. His triumph over Eugene Grandois at the Island had been a good influence, and he had hopes of capturing the majority of the river people.
"Friends and comrades," said Eugene Grandois, with his hands playing loosely, "there's been misunderstandings between me and the Grier family, and I was out against it, but I see things different since M'sieu' Carnac has spoke and I'm changing my mind certainlee.
