But one glance was all I gave to Marcia. I said: "For heaven's sake, Paulette, don't look like that! I'm top-sides with Macartney now. Got him tied up. Come into the kitchen till I speak to you. I want Charliet " But as I pushed Paulette before me, into the kitchen just across the passage from Marcia's room, I stopped speaking.
It was Paulette Dubois you know the woman that lives at the Seigneur's gate? Twelve years ago she was a handsome girl. I fell in love with her, but she left here. There were two other men. There was a timber-merchant, and there was a lawyer after. The timber-merchant was married; the lawyer wasn't. She lived at first with the timber-merchant. He was killed murdered in the woods."
But whether she cared for him or not, "By gad, you've got to tell Dudley that Hutton's here," I said roughly, because I was sick with the knowledge that anyhow she did not love me. "Tell him?" Paulette gasped through the dark that was like a curtain between us. "I've told him twenty times all I dared. And he wouldn't listen to a word I said. Ask him: he'll tell you that's true!"
Paulette is thin, pale, and miserably clad; but she has always the same open and straightforward look the same mouth, smiling at every word, as if to court your sympathy the same voice, somewhat timid, yet expressing fondness. Paulette is not pretty she is even thought plain; as for me, I think her charming. Perhaps that is not on her account, but on my own.
He cut across the clearing in the opposite direction from the hole that led to his underground den, and it was time. Half of Macartney's men were tearing through the passage toward Marcia's screams, and the rest were pouring out of the kitchen door. In the storm we could only hear them. I was carrying Paulette like a baby, and with her head against me I could not see her face.
After I'd used him, two of my men drowned him in Lac Tremblant and you'd never have guessed a word about it, if it hadn't been for his cursed card they overlooked in the shack here, where you found it. It was I put that bottle in your wagon the day it broke there. I did it before I knew Paulette was going to drive with you; that was the only thing in the whole business that ever gave me a scare!
That devil must have got him somewhere him and Miss Paulette! Can't you see there's not a light in the shack, bar the kitchen one? Come on!" But I was gone already, around the corner of the shack to Paulette's side of it, and I knew better.
These prejudices, one against Jo Portugais and the other against Paulette Dubois, she had never been able entirely to overcome, though she had honestly tried. On the way to the hospital at Quebec, however, Jo had been so careful of her father, so respectful when speaking of M'sieu', so regardful of her own comfort, that her antagonism to him was lulled.
"It is I, not Paulette, who will appear," she said, a deep light in her eyes. "You, Rosalie?" he asked dumfounded. "You are distrait. Trouble and sorrow have put this in your mind. You must not do it." "Yes, I am going there," she said, pointing towards the great stage. "Paulette has given me these to wear" she touched the robe "and I only ask your blessing now.
I had stopped Paulette meeting Hutton, and Hutton had dropped on Macartney and the assay office gold! I shook Dudley till he sat up, sober as I never could have been in his shoes, saw him light out in his pyjamas to keep guard in his own office that Paulette and I had only just left, and legged it for the assay office and Macartney.
