We returned to Biloxi in absolute silence. Bienville, with all a gentleman's instinct, recognized the delicacy of my position. The Governor took me at once to his own room, and sat me down at the table. "Now, Placide, tell me all about this miserable affair," "I can not, sire; believe me, I can not. I beg of you not to put upon me a command I must disobey.
The result of this campaign was pitiable, and they only succeeded in arresting d'Aché's younger brother, an inoffensive fellow of feeble mind, appropriately named "Placide," who was nicknamed "Tourlour," on account of his lack of wit and his rotundity. His greatest fear was of being mistaken for his brother, which frequently happened.
When Placide and I think of you your love of peace, your loyalty, and your admiration of Bonaparte; and then, when we think of Bonaparte his astonishment at what you have done in the colony, and the terms in which he always spoke of you to us when we consider how you two are fitted to appreciate each other, we cannot believe but that the Captain-General and you will soon be acting in harmony, for the good of both races.

He drummed on the table with his fingers a while before he spoke again. "Then, my lad, there is but one thing I can do, that is to send you away from here at once.
I may walk around where I want to, talk to such as have a good word for me, punish those who have not! But do I err in concluding that the state of your game law is such that it would be useless to reclaim my rifle from the engaging Placide?" "You have a fine instinct," approved the Factor.
