I have hidden a family in the woods, and I will die before I will tell where they are. I did what I could to persuade Gallifet's people to let Odeluc and his soldiers turn back to Cap: and I believe they would, but for Odeluc's obstinacy in coming among us. If he would have kept his distance, he might have been alive now. As it is " "And is he dead? the good Odeluc?"
To this accident it was probably owing that the party survived that hour, and that any order was preserved in the town. "Shame, Proteau! shame!" said Odeluc, as he bent down, and saw that the negro was dying. Papalier, Bayou, and a few more, cried "Shame!" also; while others applauded.
However his opinions might please or displease, all liked to look upon his bright countenance, and to hear his lively voice. Vincent Oge had said that Odeluc was a worse foe to the mulattoes than many a worse man he always so excited their good-will as to make them forget their rights.
But we have settled that matter for ourselves, by the help of our good Governor, and I firmly believe that we are at the commencement of a long age of peace." Here some applauded, while two or three shook their head. Odeluc continued "I see some of my friends do not altogether share my hopes. Yet are these hopes not reasonable?
And he looked among the black faces which were clustered behind the landlord. No one spoke thence; but a voice from the piazza said "Gallifet's force has risen. The canes are all on fire." "I will bring them to their senses," said Odeluc, with sudden quietness. "I have power over them. The Governor will give me a handful of men from the town guard, and we shall set things straight before morning.
We can ride together." "In a moment. Let us hear all we can first," replied Bayou. "Do you stay for that purpose, then, and look to our horses. I will learn what the Governor's orders are, and come here for you presently." And Papalier was gone. When Bayou turned to listen again, Odeluc was saying "Impossible! incredible! Gallifet's force risen! Not they?
