We shall, on ze to-morrow, us depart, on ze joli bateau with ze mademoiselle; quick shall run ze stream, row ze oar, fly ze sail we come right away to ze excellent long friend of your father. Ze honor and ze felicity shall be to me to serve mademoiselle for ze sake of her divine uncle, for ze own beautiful sake of ze fair angel."
M. Hamel, one of Beaujeu's officers, volunteered to go on this mission, with a boat's crew, in the shallop of the Joli. He was an impetuous young fellow, with more bravery than prudence.
Madame Gugou beamed with delight. "Tiens! C'est joli, a! Gugou!" she called. "We must kill a chicken and cut some haricots and a lettuce. They shall dine well in Vallcy these two." Gugou grinned toothlessly from the doorway of the shed where he was stabling Clarissa, and then hobbled his way up to the garden.
She then began, and gave me a picture of her old friendship with Lady Hilda, and of the dreadful calamity which had befallen in her going off with Bobby Bulteel. "It was one of those cases of mad love, Nicholas, which fortunately seem to have died out of the modern world, though for the truth I must say that one more séduisant than ce joli Bulteel, I have never met!
They did not need the stimulus of alcohol to aid this flow of spirits, for, like most Frenchmen of that class, they were very abstemious, although the "Patron" always produced for us "un bon vieux vin de derriere les fagots," or "un joli petit vin qui fait rire." It was sheer "joie de-vivre" stimulated by the good food and that spontaneous gaiete francaise which appeals so irresistibly to me.
"Will you permit me," said Madame de Tecle, "to give to my daughter a few orders in English, which we are translating? You are too warm do not run any more. Tell Rosa to prepare my bodice with the small buttons. While I am dressing, you may say your catechism to me." "Yes, mother." "Have you written your exercise?" "Yes, mother. How do you say 'joli' in English for a man?" asked the little girl.
"Mais non!" pronounced Virginia, with emphasis. There followed an untranslatable gesture. "How droll!" shoulder and outstretched hands were saying. "If the kind gentleman wishes to give mademoiselle the joli bas !" His face had puckered up again. Then suddenly it unpuckered. "Tell you what you might do," he solved it. "Just take 'em along and send them to your mother.
This greatly increased the chagrin of La Salle for an interview with them would have greatly facilitated his operations. Religious ceremonies were, in a remarkable degree, blended with all these explorations. The next day after the Joli cast anchor, all the ship's company was assembled for divine worship, to return thanks to God for their prosperous voyage.
He dined with us the other night, the Metternichs, and twenty-five other people, among whom were Auber and Massenet. In the boudoir, before dinner, he spied a manuscript which Auber had brought that afternoon. He took it up, looked at it, and said, "C'est tres joli!" and laid it down again. Was that not wonderful, that he could remember it all the time during the dinner?
"Rossignolet du bois joli, Emporte-moi-t-une lettre!" Alexandra was coming home! St. Helen's Island, named affectionately by Champlain after his fair young wife, Hélène, stretches its half-mile of park along the middle of the River opposite the city of Montreal.
