In re Lecour would be a great precedent." "Such is not our desire." "What! not to establish a precedent?" "No, Mr. Advocate," Germain said firmly; "a simple petition to obtain this order is what we want. We must have it, and quickly, and nothing more." "Ah, then, this is what you want," said he. "I will draw it for you," and, sitting down, he wrote out a document as follows:
"Yes, sir, preserved for generations in a distant colony by a branch that does you honour. Permit me, sir, to introduce you to your cousin, Monsieur LeCour de Lincy, of Canada, officer of the Bodyguard, and who longs to make the acquaintance of the head of his family." De Lincy bowed ceremoniously, and, glancing again at the ring, examined it with avidity.
By something erratic in his look Lecour recognised the would-be slayer of de Léry, and his hand crept towards the hilt of his sword. "Don't be afraid of me," said the maniac; "we are allies." "I am not afraid," Lecour answered. "What do you wish of me?" "To give you this," Philibert exclaimed gaily, handing him a packet. "Take it; your battle is won."
Lecour, finding that the Chevalier was eager for a general account of all Canadian beaux and dames, did his best to respond. De Bailleul's cup ran over. "Do you know," he exclaimed, "I have never met any people like the Canadians. When Montcalm was general, I commanded a certain detachment towards Lake Champlain.
"Time is not important to me, father," answered Germain cheerfully. "May I take the register to this table near the light?" "With pleasure; but should the handwriting be difficult, speak to me. I am the archivist of the abbey." And thus saying he turned back to his workmen. Lecour examined the volume with beating heart.
Do I not in you Madame, see again Daphne, the friend of Apollo, who turned into that tree?" and, smiling atrociously over his classical sweet speech, he looked at Lecour. "The insolence!" thought Germain, who also took it as a good opportunity to begin his rôle. "Well, sir," he exclaimed sharply, "talking of Apollo, did you ever hear that this god flayed one Marsyas for presumption?"
De Léry, annoyed and disappointed that the judge did not rise to the occasion, and thrown back on his own resources, went to Lord Dorchester himself, requesting his mediation. The Governor read over the letters which had passed, especially that sent by LeCour for signature. "Tut, what a young fool. Tell LaNaudiere there to send for him," he exclaimed. So in about half an hour Germain appeared.
When Germain returned from the shooting party, he was sent for from Collinot's office, and upon his entering, the door was closed. As the closing of Collinot's door was an unusual proceeding, and was known among the regiment to denote something very particular, speculation and excitement immediately became rife, and the news that Lecour was closeted with Collinot spread like wildfire.
He was not strong when he came to us: I said from the beginning 'He is on the short way to heaven': he seemed like one who had suffered too much." They followed her out of the chamber. Lecour could not help some eagerness concerning the will, and perusing it closely when she handed it to him, found it bequeathed him all the testator's possessions.
He stopped and bowed to Germain. "Monsieur LeCour de Lincy here has some papers to show us," de Léry proceeded, "which refute that unfortunate report arising from the letters of my son." Lecour produced his papers, and on perusal of them for some time, both Panet and de Léry pronounced them perfect. "I owe you the sincerest formal apology, Monsieur de Lincy," de Léry said.
