Mon Dieu! how one sleeps in the night of the north, in the beautiful wide silence!... So, m'sieu', just when I thought it was the time, I called, 'Corinne! Corinne! Then once again I said, 'P'tite Corinne! P'tite Corinne! Come home! come home! P'tite Corinne! I could see the fight in the jail of sleep.
And P'tite Louison's opinion was accepted instantly as final, with satisfied nods on the part of all the brothers, and whispers of "How clever! how adorable!" P'tite Louison affected never to hear these remarks, but looked complacently straight before her, stirring the spoon in her cup, or benignly passing the bread and butter.
P'tite Louison, she get ready quick- sapre, what fine things had she and it is all to be done in a week, while the theatre in New York wait for M'sieu'. He sit there with us, and play on the fiddle, and sing songs, and act plays, and help Florian in the barn, and Octave to mend the fence, and the Cure to fix the grape- vines on his wall.
"Padre, and p'tite Madame," began Laurence, "you've been like a father and mother to me and and " "And we thought you ought to know," said Mary Virginia. "My children!" cried my mother, ecstatically, "it is the wish of my heart! Always have I prayed our good God to let this happen and you see?" "But it's a great secret: it's not to be breathed, yet," said Mary Virginia.
The haste to disclaim was feverish, and the look directed by Celeste at Alexina was sullen, even while the old woman's strong, resistless brown hand was pushing her mistress back onto the pillows. "Got to res' lil' while, p'tite; got to min' Celeste an' lay back an' res' now."
I am there that day, and I see all, and I think it dam good. I say: 'That P'tite Louison, she beat them all' I am only twelve year old then. When M'sieu' Hadrian leave, he give her two seats for the theatre, and we go.
I caught them, and shook them, and shook him, and made him take a step forward; then I slap him on the back again, and said loud: 'Come, come, Babiche, don't you know me? See Babiche, the snow's no sleeping-bunk, and a polar bear's no good friend. 'Corinne! he went on, soft and slow. 'Ma p'tite Corinne! He smiled to himself; and I said, 'Where've you been, Babiche?
He was a great actor ah, yes, sublime!" he said. Medallion did not reply, but walked slowly down to where P'tite Louison was picking berries. His hat was still off. "Let me help you, Mademoiselle," he said softly. And henceforth he was as foolish as her brothers. "Sacre bapteme!" "What did he say?" asked the Little Chemist, stepping from his doorway.
He knew Lecorbeau had somewhere picked up an English child. But a child was in his eyes quite too trivial a matter to call for any comment. As time went on Pierre's little one, as she was generally called "la p'tite de Pierre" picked up the French of her new Acadian home, and went far to forgetting her English.
Whether the melancholy accident which partly bereft her of her reason was the result of carelessness I cannot say but I shall be able, I think, to prove to them that she never forgot the circumstance, and was to the day of her death occupied in making ready for the little coffin and shroud of her 'p'tite Catherine. My sketch of the frost bound Montmorenci was never finished, and indeed my winter sketching fell through altogether after that unhappy visit to Bonneroy.
