"Tell her I remember" There he faltered; he could say no more. "Yes," said Elizabeth, "I will, I will tell her everything, Mr. Manuel, everything that it would comfort her to hear." She had written letters now and then. Great pride Montier and Pauline took in their daughter's skilful use of pen and ink, and pencil, for Elizabeth could sketch as well as write.
I must tell you that her stay with Madame Montier has gradually produced a number of unforeseen complications.
Discretion on my part, you will thus perceive, has become more than ever necessary, so long as Kondjé-Gul remains with Madame Montier. Our amorous relations are absolutely reduced to epistolary effusions, and to clandestine meetings, to bring about which we have recourse to all the stratagems employed by separated lovers.
The attendance was almost entirely confined to Montier and his wife, but now and then Elizabeth also could serve him. She served him with her heart, with unobtrusive zeal that was exhaustless as the zeal of love. Unobserved, she watched, as well as waited on him; and oh, how jealous and impatient of time and authority did she become!
Pauline Montier made no haste to answer; she was afraid that she knew what he expected of her. "Do you see," continued Adolphus, "Elizabeth won't speak of it again? But what must she think of us? He is a man. They say we are all brothers." "I know it," said, almost sighed, his wife. "Looking out for our own comfort!" exclaimed Adolphus. "So mighty afraid of doing what we'd have done for us!
When we came to the Place, the old Man found them to be his; but suffered his Transports of Joy to rise so high, that I was ashamed of his behavior; for he fell a hallooing, and threw up his Montier Cap in the Air several times, till he raised the Neighbors out of their Beds to see what was the Matter.
But Nature's buoyant spirits must needs conquer the weight of influences whose business is to depress. And they, seeking, find their centre among things celestial, in spite of all opposing. Much leisure, light labor, was not the worst thing that could befall some of the men whose lot was cast on Foray. Adolphus Montier was a member of the military band.
A saw-mill also was put up on Tinker's creek. When Mr. Johnson was building the saw-mill at Jessup, he fell in with a young lady, Miss Montier, who enjoyed the distinction of being the first white girl that landed in Huron, where she lived with a family named Hawley.
Another priest, named De Lions, a chanter in the cathedral of Grenoble, writing on the 30th January 1707, says, "M. Mesnard, the curate of Montier, has written to me, stating that there is a man, about thirty-five years of age, named Delisle, who turns lead and iron into gold and silver; and that this transmutation is so veritable and so true, that the goldsmiths affirm that his gold and silver are the purest and finest they ever saw.
I trust you, for you love me; oh, love me, my mother, and trust me! I dare not live, I cannot endure my freedom, while he is wearing out his life in a prison. Am I ill? Has it worn me to see him, this year past, dying by inches? I am glad of it, I am proud of it! Now I will see if there is any pity or justice among rulers." Pauline Montier was confounded by this outbreak.
