It had, however, been of no use, and Grassette had refused the advances and ministrations of the little good priest, Father Laflamme, who had come from the coast of purpose to give him the offices of the Church. Silent, obdurate, sullen, he had looked the priest straight in the face, and had said, in broken English, "Non, I pay my bill. Nom de diable!
Margaret remembered her very distinctly, although she had only exchanged a word with her at the memorable dinner in New York when Henderson had revealed her feelings to herself. Mrs. Laflamme had the immense advantage it seemed so to her after five years of widowhood of being a widow on the sunny side of thirty-five.
As they journeyed to the morning-room Hugh Tryon said: "Does M. Laflamme still come to paint Miss Wyndham?" "Yes; but it ends to-morrow, and then no more of that. Prisoners are prisoners, and though Laflamme is agreeable that makes it the more difficult." "Why should he be treated so well, as a first-class prisoner, and others of the Commune be so degraded here as Mayer, for instance?"
If to Margaret's country apprehension the conversation was not quite up to the level of the dinner and the house what except that of a circle of wits, who would be out of place there, could be? the presence of Mr. Henderson, who devoted himself to her, made the lack unnoticed. "I saw you, Mr. Henderson" it was Mrs. Laflamme raising her voice "the other night in a box with a very pretty woman."
"You will not come here again?" "No. If M. Laflamme should not arrive, and you should go alone, leave one pair of oars; then I shall know. Good-bye." "Good-bye, mademoiselle. A thousand times I will pray for you. Ah, mon Dieu! take care! you are on the edge of the great tomb." She stood perfectly still. At her feet was a dark excavation where was the skeleton of Ovi the King.
Dorion was the man whose constructive ability, admirable temper, and long years of fighting against heavy odds marked him out as chief, but family and health considerations determined him to retire to the quieter if not less heavy labours of the bench. Fournier soon followed. Laflamme, in whose office Laurier had studied, was hardly a man of sufficient weight.
"I have always been a philanthropist about the negro till I came down here, and I intend to be again when I go back." Mrs. Laflamme was not a very eager apostle either, and the young ladies devoted themselves to the picturesque aspects of the population, without any concern for the moral problems. They all declared that they liked the negro.
I wish you to wait there until M. Laflamme and Carbourd come by the river that is their only chance. If they get across the hills they can easily reach the sea. I know that two of your horses have been over the path; they are sure-footed; they would know it in the night. Is it not so?" "It is so. There are not a dozen horses in the colony that could be trusted on it at night, but mine are safe.
Laflamme would never drive over the edge, whereas no one could tell what sheer Carmen might not suddenly take. A woman's reputation is almost as much affected by the expectation of what she may do as by anything she has done. It was Fox McNaughton who set up the dictum that a woman may do almost anything if it is known that she draws a line somewhere.
J. J. C. Abbott, a sound and eminent practitioner, and a future prime minister of Canada, taught commercial law. Laflamme had charge of civil law. Young Laurier made the most of the opportunities offered.
