I have spent on your education money which I should be very glad of now. You will promise me that much, Therese, at parting?" "Remember who made me a lady! I have forgotten too long who made me a woman," said Therese, devoutly upraising her eyes. "In serving Him and loving my husband, I will strive to forget you." "All alike!" muttered Papalier, as the pair went out.
Odeluc took the brief opportunity to state his confidence that all doubts of the fidelity of the negroes were groundless. He agreed with Monsieur Papalier that the present was not the time and place for entering at large into the subject. He would only just say that he was now an old man, that he had spent his life among the people alluded to, and knew them well, if any man did.
When Monsieur Papalier returned to the hotel, from his cruise for information, he found his neighbour Bayou impatiently waiting on horseback, while Henri, still in his white apron, was holding the other horse. "Here, sir mount, and let us be off," cried Bayou. "We owe it to my friend Henri, here, that we have our horses.
He then entered his own inner apartment, where Papalier was sleeping so soundly that it was probable the early movements of saint's-day festivities in the camp would not awaken him.
I always told Bayou so; and there is no saying now what the consequences may be. It is my opinion that we have not heard the last of him yet." "Probably," said the General, gathering up his papers as his aide entered, and leaving the tent in conversation with him, almost without a farewell notice of Papalier.
Monsieur Papalier was ill very ill. The people of the house where he lived insisted upon sending him into the hospital this very night, if good attendance were not provided for him; and now Therese did not yet seem quite clear why this event had determined the moment of her application for Genifrede's assistance. She was agitated.
Papalier was probably the only person in the valley who did not attend mass on this saint's-day morning. The Spanish general was early seen, surrounded by his staff, moving towards the rising ground, outside the camp, on which stood the church, erected for the use of the troops when the encampment was formed.
"That is exactly what Monsieur Clement said of his postillion; and it was his postillion that struck him to the heart. You must send Toussaint on board ship; and I will tell you how " Papalier stopped, perceiving that the two negroes were not talking, but had their eyes fixed on him. "What is that?" said Henri. "Is Toussaint to go on board ship?"
"No, no; nonsense," said Bayou; "I am not going to send anybody on board ship. All quiet at Breda, I suppose, Toussaint?" "All quiet, sir, at present. Monsieur Papalier on board ship I will not go." "As your master pleases. It is no concern of mine, Toussaint," said Papalier. "So I think," replied Toussaint.
By one of these agitations her desire to go had been much quickened. Before the departure of the deputation, she had chanced to meet Monsieur Papalier in one of the corridors, equipped for his journey. She could not avoid passing him; and he had greeted her with a significant "Au revoir, Therese."
