"And you say your family decline to accept the assistance of the police in their endeavors to bring the killer of your uncle to justice?" asked some Américain or other of 'Polyte Grandissime. "'Sir, mie fam'lie do not want to fetch him to justice! neither Palmyre! We are goin' to fetch the justice to them! And sir, when we cannot do that, sir, by ourselves, sir, no, sir! no police!"
I have not seen the Sieur since the news came. He was to go to Tadoussac the first of the week, and I had permission to go with him. One would think to-day that Quebec was one of the most flourishing of towns, and it is hard to believe the contrary. But every soldier is on the watch. They trust no one. What have you been doing, ma mie?" "Oh, I have something to show you. Come."
Did I not know how good a scholar you are, I should be tempted to believe that you had misread it. Me-Mee, Ma-Mee! That would be pretty in French, would it not? Ma mie my darling! Well, I dare say she was somebody's mie in her time. But tell me the story." Smith told him shortly and clearly; also he produced his photographs and copies of inscriptions.
And Brigit, too unstrung to tell the usual conventional lies, simply sobbed on, her whole body shaking with agony. Madame Joyselle sat patiently by her, stroking her shoulders with a kind hand, murmuring little broken phrases in French, patting her hair. "Oui, oui, ma mie Pauvre petite, ça te soulagera Pleures, ma cocotte, pleures!"
"Yes. Then you will go and see Fosseuse?" "Yes, sire." "And separate her from the others?" "Yes, sire." "And send her your doctor?" "Yes, sire." "And if, unluckily, what you say were true, and she had been weak, for women are frail " "Well, sire, I am a woman, and know the indulgence due to my sex." "All! you know all things, ma mie; you are in truth a model of perfection, and I kiss your hands."
"You think he loves her?" asked Anne Mie at last. "I am sure of it." "And she?" "Ah! I do not know. I would trust your instinct a woman's sooner than my own." "She is false, I tell you, and is hatching treason against Paul." "Then all we can do is to wait." "Wait?" "And watch carefully, earnestly, all the time. There! shall I pledge you my word that Deroulede shall come to no harm?"
Anne Mie, in a remote corner of the hall, had heard the name, and felt her very soul sicken at its sound. Merlin!
His mind was surcharged with the endless things he had gathered up, ready to pour into the sympathizing ear of Barbara Sanschagrin; and the servants and censitaires were equally eager to return to relate their adventures in the capital when summoned on the King's corvee to build the walls of Quebec. "V'la l'bon vent! V'la l'joli vent! V'la l'bon vent! Ma mie m'appelle! V'la l'bon vent!
"Did you know anything of this?" queried Merlin roughly from trembling Anne Mie. "Nothing," she replied. "No one knew anything of my private affairs or of my private correspondence," said Juliette coldly; "as you say, it was a splendid combination. I had hoped that it would succeed.
Where Paul Deroulede had failed to understand, there Anne Mie had already made a guess. She firmly believed that nothing now could save Juliette from death, and a great feeling of tenderness had crept into her heart, for the woman whom she had looked upon as an enemy and a rival. She too had learnt in those brief days the great lesson that revenge belongs to God alone. The Cheval Borgne.
