She now stood leaning against one of the tent-poles, looking grievously altered worn and wearied. "Will you not sit down, Therese?" said Toussaint, pointing to a chair near his own, Papalier having seated himself on the other side of the table. Therese threw herself on a couch at some distance, and hid her face. "I must owe my safety to you again, Toussaint," said Papalier.
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?
I have let you have your own way too much of late. I call for hours, and you never come. I will not let you out of my sight again?" So said Monsieur Papalier in the delirium of his fever, as Madame Dessalines was nursing him in his chamber at Saint Marc. It was a sad and dreary office; but she had motive to go through with it.
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.
"What is it?" asked Papalier, coming beside her horse. She told her grief, as she prepared to spring down. "No, keep your seat! Don't get down," said he, in a tone she dared not disobey. "I will inquire for the child." He went away, and returned without it. "This is a sad thing," said he, leading her horse forward with the rest. "No one knows anything about the poor thing. Why did you let it go?"
A check was given to their words and their emotions, by seeing by whom the young men were accompanied. Therese was leading forward Genifrede, when she stopped short, with a sort of groan, and returned to her seat, forgetful at the moment even of Genifrede; for Monsieur Papalier was there. Other gentlemen were of the company.
All that had moved her during her yet short life all emotions in one were nothing to the passion of this moment the conditional hatred that swelled her soul; conditional for, from moment to moment, she believed and disbelieved that Papalier had destroyed her child. The thought sometimes occurred that he was not the only cruel one.
He started up, casting a look of doubt upon Toussaint. "Fear nothing, Monsieur Papalier," said Toussaint; "General Hermona has engaged to listen to my plea for justice.
She had not looked in his face, but supposed that some of Latour's people had come back for her. "Now you will come with me," said Bayou to Papalier, impatiently. "I will, thank you. Toussaint, help her up behind me, and carry the child, will you? Hold fast, Therese, and leave off trembling as soon as you can." Therese would let no one carry the infant but herself.
They take upon them to despise Therese, who has more beauty than all his tribe, and almost as much education as the learned Toussaint himself." He called to the sulky fellow, however, and the sulky fellow came. What Papalier wanted to say was "You seem to know more of these Spaniards than I. What will become of Therese, if I take her among them; which, you see, you oblige me to do?"
