I tell you somet'ing now: dis li'l gal she's come to mean whole lot for me. At firs' I'm sorry, de same lak you feel. Sure! But bimeby I get to know her, for she talk, talk all tam she talk, lak crazee person, an' I learn to know her soul, her life. Her soul is w'ite, m'sieu's, it's w'ite an' beautiful; her life I lit 'im together in little piece, lak broken dish.
In the midst of their rattling came two soldiers, who ordered them about, and with much blustering began searching here and there, and chucking the maids under the chins, as I could tell by their little bursts of laughter, and the "La M'sieu's!" which trickled through the hay. I am sure that one such little episode saved me.
As the two sat at supper the postmaster was inclined to take a serious view of M'sieu's position.
Into this atmosphere of constraint came 'Poleon Doret, and, had it not been for his own anxieties, he would have derived much amusement from the situation. As it was, however, he was quite blind to it, showing nothing save his own deep feeling of concern. "M'sieu's," he began, hurriedly, "dat gal she's gettin' more seeck. I'm scare' she's goin' die to-night. Mebbe you set up wit' me, eh?"
Jo Portugais spoke. "That is true, M'sieu'; and what is more, I know a newly shaved face when I see it, and M'sieu's was tanned with the sun. It is foolish, that!" "This is not the place for evidence," said the Abbe sharply. "Excuse me, Abbe," said his brother; "if Monsieur wishes to have a preliminary trial here, he may. He is in my seigneury; he is a tenant of the Church here "
Nevertheless, there was just about half as much money coming in as formerly, and the quaint little pucker between M'sieu's eyebrows which served for a frown came oftener and stayed longer than ever before.
It was M'sieu's order. See," he suddenly lifted the picture over his head and whirled to the stump, "it shall go no farther. We will leave it here for the wolves and the crows and the pagan redmen." He dashed it down with all his strength, but Menard sprang forward, and caught it on his outstretched arm. "No, Father," he said; "we will take it with us."
The crowning interest of her life had come all at the last moment, as it were, and she had gone away almost gladly and with a kind of pride. Rosalie also had a hidden pride: the secret was now her very own hers and M'sieu's. It was St. Jean Baptiste's day, and French Canada was en fete.
"The Lajeunesse the Lajeunesse, the singer of all the world ah, why did she not say so then!" said the churl. "What would I not do for her! Money no, it is nothing, but the Lajeunesse, I myself would give my horse to hear her sing." "Tell her she can have M'sieu's horse," said the landlord, excitedly interposing. "Tiens, who the devil the horse is mine!
Without doubt we must take enough in grand quantity one must live well else one could not carry the load on the portages very long portages not good for heavy packs we must take very little stuff small rations, a little pork and flour we can get plenty to eat with our guns and m'sieu's rod a splendid country for sport and those little fishes in tin boxes which m'sieu' loves so well for sure we must take plenty of them!
