"He is a great man almost." "He's no better judge of horses than M'sieu' Nic Lavilette eh, that's a bully bad scamp, my Gatineau!" responded Baby. "He's the best in the family.

Christian stood, straining to catch the failing sound of the hoofs. Down the passage came a flutter of white garments; soft limbs were twined about her, some ends of hair fell on her face.
