Then it was gone, and we heard nothing more whatever of an unusual nature. Following the death of Mr. Maddison, The Gables remained empty until a while ago, when a French gentleman, named Lejay, leased it " "Furnished?" "Yes; nothing was removed " "Who kept the place in order?" "A married couple living in the neighbourhood undertook to do so.
The man attended to the lawn and so forth, and the woman came once a week, I believe, to clean up the house." "And Lejay?" "He came in only last week, having leased the house for six months. His family were to have joined him in a day or two, and he, with the aid of the pair I have just mentioned, and assisted by a French servant he brought over with him, was putting the place in order.
As early as then little Arouet, who was weak and in delicate health, but withal of a very lively intelligence, displayed a freedom of thought and a tendency of irreverence which already disquieted and angered his masters.
