Go there in two days and get the money. You will carry it to headquarters. These are General Papineau's orders. You will understand that your men " Ferrol heard no more, for the two rebels passed on, their voices becoming indistinct. He sat for a few moments moveless, for an idea had occurred to him even as Papineau's agent spoke. If that money were only his!
He had become the leading member of the Parti Rouge on Papineau's retirement in 1854, and was now the chief of the few French Radicals in the Assembly. In like manner Brown assumed the leadership of the Clear Grits, the Radicals of Upper Canada.
More strongly he began to feel that some one had surely sinned against that woman, and feelings of vengefulness, none the less bitter for all their vagueness, began to obsess him. Once, on his way back from Papineau's, Maigan had pressed close to him, as if for safety. From the great hardwood ridges of his right he had heard a long and familiar sound.
A general election followed soon after the passing of the Ninety-Two Resolutions and revealed the strength of Papineau's position in the country. All those members of the Patriote party who had opposed the Resolutions Neilson, Cuvillier, Quesnel, Stuart, and two or three others suffered defeat at the polls.
Later on he killed two of the big flathorns, hung the huge quarters to convenient trees and went back to Papineau's, the Frenchman's place, for the loan of his dog-team. After this came the winter with heavy falls of snow and cold that sent the tinted alcohol in the thermometer at the station down very close to the bulb. Carcajou and its inhabitants seemed to go to sleep.
He was held from this by the renewed thought that her mind was probably affected. He might further irritate her or cause her still deeper chagrin. Even if he erred in this idea the moment was probably ill-chosen. It would be better for her to tell her tale before others also. He would wait until after he had taken her over to Papineau's.
As Sir George Cartier pointed out many years later, Mondelet's inclusion in the Executive Council was really a step in the direction of responsible government. It is difficult, also, to approve Papineau's attitude toward such governors as Dalhousie and Aylmer, both of whom were disposed to be friendly.
"You you are h'all so velcome as I can't say," she declared. "Miss Nelson is going away with Stefan in a few minutes," said Hugo, cheerfully. At this Mrs. Papineau's face fell. She looked positively unhappy. "Some'ow," she said, sniffing, "I always 'ope she stay 'ere h'all de time now. I I never tink she go avay for good. De de dogs and de calf and an de baby and chil'ren dey all love 'er.
It all sounded, and doubtless was, perfectly ideal. But presently Hugo had finished his writing and was leaning back in his chair. "Do you think you would like some of those nice fresh eggs Mrs. Papineau's little girl brought this morning?" she asked him. "And would you like me to close the door now?" "Thanks, Miss Nelson," he said, "I'm sure I should enjoy them ever so much.
Papineau's are better, but you may be able to manage one or two of these. That good woman's a mighty good cook, as cooking goes in these parts. Here's a can of condensed milk; won't you help yourself? You must really try to eat something. Do you think you could try a little cold corned beef? I have some canned stuff that's not half bad.
