If the gentlemen would risk the ride to the coast with him, he thought he could put them on board, and they might take with them this sugar, intended for France, but now wanted for their subsistence in their exile. Bayou saw at once that this was the best plan he could adopt. Papalier was unwilling to turn his back so soon, and so completely, on his property.
And she re-entered her house, and closed the doors. "How you have disappointed her!" said Papalier. "She hoped to hear that her race had risen, and were avenging her sons on us. I am thankful to-night," he continued, after a pause, "that my little girls are at Paris. How glad might that poor woman have been, if her sons had stayed there!
Moved by his misery and melted by the thought that she had wronged him, all these years, by harbouring the image of his hand on her infant's throat distracted, too, by the new doubts that had arisen Therese prayed and wept, wept and prayed, on behalf of Papalier and all sinners.
"What will your Spanish friends think of our bringing so many women and children to their post?" said Papalier to Toussaint, as soon as they were on their way. "They will not think you worth having, with all the incumbrances you carry." "I shall carry none," said Toussaint. "What do you mean to do with your wife and children?"

"One word more, my lord, before offering you my welcome to my table," said Toussaint. "I beseech you to consider the granting this pass as an act of justice, or of anything rather than favour to me.
Bayou was only attorney to the Breda estate, and had no one but himself to care for. Papalier was a proprietor, and he could not give up at once, and for ever, the lands which his daughters should inherit after him. He could not instantly decide upon this. He would wait some hours at least.

The gentlemen from the country very naturally took the first that came to hand to get home upon. They say Leroy is gone home on a dray-mule. I rather expect to meet Toussaint on the road.
