The eldest daughter, Guillemette, who had married one Guillaume Couillard, came down from Tadoussac, and they took his place on the farm. Hers had been the first wedding in Quebec. Rose felt that this must change the home for her. She had counted on going back to them. There were days when she grew very tired of miladi's whims and inanities, and longed to fly to her beloved wood.
"But you might be miladi's slave," suggested Wanamee, "and then you could watch the little one and follow her about to see that nothing harmed her." "There shouldn't anything hurt her." He sprang up. "You see I am growing tall, and presently I shall be a man. But I won't be a slave always." "No, no," said the Indian woman.
"Madame will conceive that, in miladi's absence, it was a prodigious inconvenience to order two coaches, and travel so far. His lordship's groom of the chambers is my witness that I protested against such an outrageous proceeding." "Two coaches!" exclaimed Angela.
Ess Kay's French maid, Louise, helped me get settled, paying me so many compliments on my hair, and my eyes and my complexion, that I grew quite confused; but perhaps that's a habit in which American ladies encourage their maids. "But the marvel that is Miladi's hair! It is of the colour of gold, and with a natural curl. It will be so great a joy if I may dress it. And her complexion!
'Madame's appearance was perfectly respectable. Madame might have reasons for not mentioning her name which Miladi might approve.

She was beginning to experience a peculiar loneliness, a want of companionship, that no one about her could satisfy. "Madame Destournier wishes to see you," exclaimed Pani, who had been sent on the errand. She went slowly to miladi's room, and entering it wished her good-morning, with a dainty courtesy.
She tapped at miladi's door, and a very sweet voice said "Come, little stranger." She opened it. Miladi was sitting by the small casement window, in one of her pretty silken gowns, long laid by. There was a dainty rose flush on her cheek, but the hand she held out was much thinner than of yore, when in the place of knuckles there were dimples.
"As if a girl knew what was best!" reiterated miladi scornfully. "And why should you wish to keep her? Unless" and now miladi's eyes flashed fire "unless " "Do not say it!" He held up his hand forbiddingly. "I will say it!
Rose was too just, perhaps with some of the incisive energy of youth, to cover up miladi's faults at once. If she had been grateful to him for his devotion she would have thought more tenderly of love. Yet she experienced a profound pity. There had been set aside a burial plot, one end for the white inhabitants.
