The ladies looked at one another: Rose in great confusion. "Tra la! la! la! Tra lal! lal! la! la! la!" "Jacintha!" screamed Rose angrily. "Hush! not a word," said the baroness. "Why remonstrate with HER? Servants are but chameleons: they take the color of those they serve. Do not cry. I wanted your confidence, not your tears, love.
I long for his return, that his wife, his mother, and his sister may all combine to teach this poor soldier what happiness means. We owe him everything, Josephine, and if we did not love him, and make him happy, we should be monsters; now should we not?" Josephine stammered an assent. "NOW you may read his letter: Jacintha and all," said the baroness graciously. The letter circulated.
"Of course I do; but I have the ill-luck to love Jacintha, and she loves these aristocrats, and makes me do little odd jobs for them." And at this Dard's eyes suddenly glared with horror. "Well, what of that?" asked Riviere. "What of it, citizen, what? you do not know the fatal meaning of those accursed words?" "Why, I never heard of a man's back being broken by little odd jobs."

At this moment Jacintha came running towards them. They took it for a summons to breakfast, and moved to meet her.
At the same time Jacintha asked permission to pass the rest of the evening with her relations in the village. But why that swift, quivering glance of intelligence between Jacintha and Rose de Beaurepaire when the baroness said, "Yes, certainly"? Time will show. Josephine and the doctor were left alone.
Jacintha drew nearer to her. "Mademoiselle, I beg pardon, madame, I carried you in my arms when I was a child.
Indeed, I fully believe she would have died of despair: but one of nature's greatest forces stepped into the arena and fought on the side of life. She was affected with certain bilious symptoms that added to Rose's uneasiness, but Jacintha assured her it was nothing, and would retire and leave the sufferer better.
"Now sign my name." Rose complied. "There; now fold it, and address it to his lodgings." Rose did so; and, rising with a cheerful air, said she would send Jacintha with it directly. She was half across the room when her mother called her quietly back. "No, mademoiselle," said she sternly. "You will give me the letter.
It takes the people by the shoulders and forces them into the paths of devotion, which lead straight to Heaven. And it does its duty, according to the teachings of the Church. Open one of the devotional books which are printed in the country. Here is one selected at random, 'The Life of St. Jacintha. It lies on a young girl's work-table.
