These good fathers, they so delight in losing fingers, and ears, and noses for the good of the Church though where the Church be glorified therein I sometimes can not say. Perhaps some leech mayhap some artisan " "Nay, 'tis too far a spot, Du Mesne, to tempt others than ourselves." "Upon the contrary rather, Monsieur L'as.
You, plaintiff A , I, defendant B . I should, if I were A , but no way advising it, being B , offer to divide the whole property, the claim for the mesne rents being wholly given up; and that the offer would be accepted, I'd engage upon my honour, supposing myself witnessing the transaction, only just as a gentleman." "Impossible, sir," cried Alfred, with indignation. "Do you take me for a fool?
Now, while I know yourself to be a man of spirit, Monsieur L'as, and while I should welcome you gladly as a brother of the trail, I had only thought that perhaps you would pardon me if I did but ask your purpose at this time." Law bent his head in silence for a moment. "What know you of this forward trail, Du Mesne?" said he. "Have you ever gone beyond this point in your own journeyings?"
Either New France or Old France, let me advise you; and as to that new West, let me counsel that you wait until after the Big Peace. And, in speaking, your friend, Du Mesne, your lieutenant, the coureur his fate, I suppose, one need not ask. He was killed where?"
"Yes, benevolence," John replied with a semi-grave face; he "had had to give away an unlimited number of bank-notes to the neighbourhood, as a recompense for having terrified it into fits." There were times when he thought he should have to come upon Lionel Verner for the mesne profits, he observed.
"'Tis easy of decision, then," replied Law, after a moment of reflection. "We take that course which leads us farther on at least. Again the paddles, my friends! To-night we sup in our own kingdom. Strike up the song, Du Mesne!" A shout of approval broke from the hardy men along the boat side, and even Jean Breboeuf tossed up his cap upon his paddle shaft.
"Mary Mother!" said Pierre Noir, "if it be a matter of a woman well, God help us all! At least 'tis something that will take Monsieur L'as over seas again." "'Tis mostly a woman," mused Du Mesne; "but this passeth my wit." "True, they pass the wit of all. Now, did I ever tell thee about the mission girl at Michilimackinac but stay! That for another time.
"But, but why what is all this? Why do we not hasten away?" broke in Jean Breboeuf. "Pish! We do not go away. We remain where we are." "Remain? Stay here, and be eaten by the Iroquois? Nay! not Jean Breboeuf." Du Mesne smiled broadly at his terrors, and a dry grin even broke over the features of the impassive old trapper, Tête Gris.
Hover about this bed in the frail and swaying lodge of bark and boughs, all ye most terrifying spirits! Let not this thing be! "Mother of God!" cried Jean Breboeuf, bending low and pulling his tunic tighter by the belt, as he came gasping into the faint circle of light which still remained at the fire log. "'Tis murderous, this storm! Ah, Monsieur du Mesne, we are dead men! But what matter?
The strongest feelings of our nature, honor, religion, female modesty, rose up against the innovation. Arrest on mesne process was the first step in most civil proceedings; and to a native of rank arrest was not merely a restraint, but a foul personal indignity.
