I racked my brain for minutes, till the blood pounded at my temples. Presently a plan came to me. "There is in Quebec one Madame Jamond, a great Parisian dancer, who, for reasons which none knows save perhaps Monsieur Doltaire, has been banished from France.
"Madame Lotbiniere had come to know Jamond, and she arranged, after much persuasion, for lessons in dancing to be given to Lucy, myself, and Georgette. To me the dancing was a keen delight, a passion. As I danced I saw and felt a thousand things, I can not tell you how. Now my feet appeared light as air, like thistledown, my body to float.
Jamond! was the cry, and they drank; the Intendant himself standing up, and touching the glass to his lips, then sitting down again, silent and immovable as before.
She makes conditions which must be respected. She must be let come and go without individual courtesies. Messieurs, he added, 'I grant her request in your name and my own. "There was a murmur of 'Jamond! Jamond! and every man stood looking towards the great entrance door. The Intendant, however, was gazing towards the door where I was, and I saw he was about to come, as if to welcome me.

All my people, even Georgette, were abroad at a soiree, and would not be home till late. So I sought Mathilde, and she hurried with me, my poor daft protector, to Jamond's, whose house is very near the bishop's palace. "We were at once admitted to Jamond, who was lying upon a couch.
I felt my blood fly back and forth in my heart with great violence, and I leaned against the oak screen for support. 'Courage, said the voice of Jamond in my ear, and I ruled myself to quietness. "Just then the Intendant's voice stopped the men in their movement towards the great entrance door, and drew the attention of the whole company. 'Messieurs, said he, 'a lady has come to dance for us.
I determined that I would not leave Jamond, in any case, and I felt for a weapon which I had hidden in my dress. We had not, however, gone a half dozen paces in the entrance hall when there were quick steps behind, and four soldiers came towards us, with an officer at their head an officer whom I had seen in the chamber, but did not recognize.
