Laval's opinion may be inferred from the fact that in 1675, sixteen years after his arrival in Canada, only one priest lived throughout the year among his own people. This was the Abbé de Bernières, curé of Notre Dame at Quebec. In 1678 two more parishes received permanent incumbents Port Royal and La Durantaye. Even so, it was a small number for the whole colony.
Forthwith he plunged into the thing he contemplated. "I'm going to make a big talk with you before we eat," he said. "You see, I've wanted to right along, Nancy, but Well, I want to tell you you're no more responsible for Laval's life, and the lives of those dogs, than I am. We're each playing our little parts in the things of life like the puppets we are.
She dressed in a trembling excitement of pleasure, as far as her own part of the preparation went; then Mrs. Laval's maid came in to finish her toilette, and Mrs. Laval came to superintend it. Matilda had only to stand still and be curled and robed and sashed and slippered; till the work was done, the maid went, and Mrs. Laval took the child in her arms and asked if she was happy?
He smiled and turned off to go his way alone; while David, who had been much struck with the sweet gracefulness of Matilda's manner, walked beside her; thinking, perhaps, that Mrs. Laval's adopted child was a different person from what he had fancied. "What shall I do, now, Matilda?" he asked presently. "I don't know. O David, I am very much obliged to you for coming with me."
"And from whom do you get these papers?" "From a poor writer to whom they have been given to be copied, since, thanks to a descent made on Laval's house, a press which he had hidden in the cellar has ceased to work." "And this writer is in direct communication with Cellamare? The idiots!" "Not at all, monseigneur; their measures are better taken.
"When they select a man to fill Laval's place, of course they will be careful to choose one as good and kind," said Pauline, with mild confidence. "The jailer before him was not good and kind," remarked her daughter. "They dismissed him for it," said Adolphus, quickly. "But they said the prisoners were half-starved, and abused every way. It was a good while before it was found out.
"What, is that voice Mademoiselle Berry's?" asked D'Harmental, with astonishment. "It is, monsieur; and if you do not believe me," replied the duchess, "permit me to take Laval's arm, that you may go and assure yourself of it." "Oh, madame," said D'Harmental, respectfully retaining the hand she was about to withdraw, "pray excuse me.
Joseph Séré de la Colombière, vicar-general and archdeacon of Quebec, pronounced Mgr. de Laval's funeral oration. No sooner had he returned, than the Bishop of Petræa devoted all the strength of his intellect to the execution of a plan which he had long meditated, namely, the foundation of a seminary.
It was with the purpose of weakening it and of rendering it, by the aid which it would require, more dependent on the civil authority, that he undertook that campaign for permanent livings which ended in the overthrow of Mgr. de Laval's system." Colbert, in fact, was too strongly prejudiced against the clergy of Canada by the reports of Talon and Frontenac.
He doesn't mean half he says." "I'd say few of us do when we let our feelings go." Father Adam smiled back into the eyes which seemed to hold him fascinated. "You see, Laval's much what we all are. He's got a tough job to put through, and he does his utmost. He's a big man, a brave man, a yes, perhaps a harsh man. But he couldn't do his job as he's paid to do it if he weren't all those things."
