If the death of this girl be the elixir of life to you, it shall be the touchstone of fortune forever to La Corriveau!" Mere Malheur was next day despatched on a visit to her old gossip, Dame Tremblay. She had been well tutored on every point, what to say and how to demean herself.
Let us leave this Coriolanus among the Volscians it is a persecution to make converts, rather than martyrs, and "Quand le malheur ne seroit bon, "Qu'a mettre un sot a la raison, "Toujours seroit-ce a juste cause "Qu'on le dit bon a quelque chose."* * If calamity were only good to restore a fool to his senses, still we might justly say, "that it was good for some thing." Yours, &c. March 5, 1794.
"But thy body, lad; thy skin?" "Neither hot nor cold; and yesterday 'twas hot one while and cold another. But what I cannot get rid of is this tiresome leg." "Le grand malheur! Many of my comrades have found no such difficulty." "Ah! there it goes again; itches consumedly." "Unhappy youth," said Denys solemnly, "the sum of thy troubles is this: thy fever is gone, and thy wound is healing.
"Pretty temptations you and I are, Mere Malheur!" replied La Corriveau, with a scornful laugh. "Well, we were pretty temptations once! I will never give up that! You must own, Dame Dodier, we were both pretty temptations once!" "Pshaw! I wish I had been a man, for my part," replied La Corriveau, impetuously. "It was a spiteful cross of fate to make me a woman!"
I thought, through the whole day, that if you could sit by me, and stroke my head with your little hand, it would be well; and that, when we are formally united, far from deeming a return of this disorder un malheur, I should esteem it a fortunate apology for a day of luxurious indulgence, which I should not otherwise allow myself or you.
He now left us standing at the gate; and it was not for some moments that John Mayrant spoke again, evidently closing, for our two selves, this delicate subject. "I wish we had not got into that second volume of yours." "That's not progressive." "I hate progress." "What's the use? Better grow old gracefully! "'Qui no pas l'esprit de son age De son age a tout le malheur."
Pour empêcher ce malheur on placera la plus grande quantité de ribaudequins vers les angles du corps de bataille, et l'on tâchera de se tenir serré de manière
Belgrade est en Rascie, et elle appartenoit au despote, mais depuis quatre ans il l'a cédée au roi de Hongrie, parce qu'on a craint qu'il ne la laissât prendre au Turc, comme il a laissé prendre Coulumbach. Cette perte fut un grand malheur pour la chrétienté. L'autre en seroit un plus grand encore, parce que la place est plus forte, et qu'elle peut loger jusqu'
Why not tonight?" Caroline was all nervous impatience. "I will wait her coming in the vaulted chamber; I will watch for her as one in the valley of death watches for the angel of deliverance. Bid her come, and at midnight to-morrow she shall find the door of the secret chamber open to admit her." The eagerness of the ill-fated girl to see La Corriveau outran every calculation of Mere Malheur.
She is not a woman if she would not like to know her fortune, for she is in despair, I think, with all the world; and when a woman is in despair, as I know by my own experience, she will jump at any chance for spite, if not for love, as I did when I took the Sieur Tremblay by your advice, Mere Malheur!" Dame Tremblay left the old crone making hideous faces in a mirror.
