He painted his pictures without going into the chemistry of colors, or searching into the mysteries of botany, to be absolutely sure as to the classification of the fibres which made his canvas.
"America," as Parkman has aptly said, "owes him an enduring memory; for in this masculine figure she sees the pioneer who guided her to the possession of her richest heritage." Nearly all that was distinctive in the life of old Canada links itself in one way or another with the Catholic religion.
Parkman, though he had only been married a little more than a month, felt something like a sense of indignation rising in his breast, that his wife should attribute to him such a motive for choosing the river, after what he had said on the subject. But he suppressed the feeling, and only replied quietly, "O, let us take a cab then, by all means.
"I shall also want a carriage and a pair of horses to-morrow," continued Mr. George, "and a commissioner." "Very well, sir," said the waiter; "and what time shall you wish for the carriage?" "What time, Mrs. Parkman?" repeated Mr. George, turning to the lady. "Shall you be ready by half past ten to go out and see the town?" "Yes," said Mrs. Parkman, "that will be a very good time."

It would take a book to tell the story of all the heroism and martyrdom of the different Missions. Parkman has told the story of the martyrdom of the Jesuits in French Canada; and many other books have been written on the subject.

Dorothy Parkman came two days later. As was usual now she came at once to the house. Susan on the watch, met her at the door, before she could touch the bell. "Come in, come in!
