Moncton engaged with papers of consequence. He held out his hand as I took my seat at the desk. "Are we friends, Geoffrey?" "That depends upon circumstances" said I. "How hard it is for you to give a gracious answer," he replied. "It is your own fault that we ever were otherwise." "I will try and think you my friend for the time to come."
"Alice Mornington and Margaretta Moncton were nearly the same age, born at least within three months of each other, and were six years younger than I. Strikingly different in their complexion, appearance and disposition, the two little girls formed a beautiful contrast to each other.
I cried; almost choking with passion "for what? For his treating me like a menial and a slave! Never, Mr. Moncton, never!" My uncle regarded me with the same icy glance which froze my blood when a child, while I recapitulated my wrongs, with all the eloquence which passion gives passion which makes even the slow of speech act the part of an orator. He listened to me with a smile of derision.
"At midnight, on the 10th of October, 1804, an heir was given to the proud house of Moncton; a weak, delicate, puny babe, who nearly cost his mother her life. At this part of Harrison's narrative I fell back upon my pillow and groaned heavily. George flew to my assistance, raising me in his arms and sprinkling my face with water. "Are you ill, dear Geoffrey?"
"A true Moncton," returned his companion, a coarse-featured, vulgar-looking man, with a weak, undecided, but otherwise kindly countenance. "You will not be able to bend that young one to your purpose." A bitter smile was the reply, and a fixed stare from those terribly bright eyes. "Poor child! He's very unfortunate," continued the same speaker. "I pity him from my very soul!"
"No, no," said I, mentally, "he cannot be such a villain he dare not do it!" The next moment the fatal scroll lay torn and defaced at my feet. A cry of despair burst from my lips: I sprang forward, and with one blow laid him senseless at my feet, and fled from the house. I saw Robert Moncton but once again. Recollection shudders when I recall that dreadful meeting.
Moncton entered the office, a short, stout, middle-aged man swung himself round on his high stool and fronted us; but the moment he recognized his superior, he rose respectfully to receive him. Mr.
But your idea is excellent, Moncton. If the ships succeed in making the passage, the boats shall certainly be brought across, as you suggest. It will be a strategic triumph for us, even though we do not reap immediate fruit from it. And if once Amherst can march to join us, it will be everything to have shipping in the upper river." "And you are hopeful that he will?"
"Alas!" said Paul gravely, "the gallant Wolfe is no more. If you have lost your General, so have we. Wolfe fell early in the battle, and Moncton is dangerously wounded. We are robbed of our two first officers; but for all that we will have Quebec and Canada." "And you deserve it!" answered Colin, fired with generous enthusiasm.
He was a magnificent paymaster to his sneaks; and bound them to him with the strongest of all ties his purse-strings. Mr. Moncton, allowed this lad a handsome sum monthly for his own private expenses; and fond as he was of money, he never inquired of the haughty arrogant boy, the manner in which he disposed of his pocket-money.
