The rich man of the country might easily become the poor man of the town; living is expensive there you might find your business here I mean the mill not pay so well with you absent; in short, Poussette, you would be foolish to change your way of life! It is not worth your while to leave St.
Ignace, you must help me to find some one to play the harmonium. Better be a lady. Do you know any one?" But Poussette was not following. The mention of the priest had awakened a flood of memory. "Father Rielle I don't know if I like that one or not. One's enough, you're enough, Mr. Ringfield. Give Father Rielle a drink and let him go." "I'm not talking about Father Rielle at all just now.
That same Nature which was so forced upon his notice in his new resting-place was strong within him this evening, and he could not refuse to harbour certain natural impulses of admiration and delight, especially as she was unusually animated in voice, expression and gesture. "Do you not think it dreadful, Mr. Ringfield, that poor Mme. Poussette is alone with my brother all this time?
"Well, Poussette, I must do the best to stand it that I know how. You and I agree about a good many things. Tell me do you believe that that Mr. that he is really a reformed man, really changed in his habits? And is he going to marry Miss Clairville? You are around with him a good deal; you are likely to know." "The day is feex," returned Poussette without enthusiasm.
She had often spoken to him of the beautiful national music of her province this was the first time he had heard it. But quickly now followed Poussette with a solo on the concertina, in which his fat body laboured to and fro, and his fat hands plunged the instrument to one side, then to the other, while his broad smile and twinkling eyes first pleased, then convulsed the audience.
"He sits alone On stormy waters in a little boat That holds but him and can contain no more!" Meanwhile the house of Clairville was undergoing drastic changes at the hands of Mme. Poussette.
He her hated and despised brother was trying to bless her, to lay unsanctified and sinful yet yearning hands upon her, and it was a blow to her pride to learn forbearance in such a school and from such a teacher. But he had spoken almost his last words. He collapsed, groaning, and the doctor and Mme. Poussette each passed an arm under him. Father Rielle appeared at the bedside with the sacrament.
Poussette occasioned no comment; for two days after the death of Henry Clairville no one spoke to her or thanked her for all she had done, and while the funeral was in progress she put her few things in a box, and counting a small store of money Poussette had given her from time to time, went with Antoine Archambault to the station at Bois Clair, and was no more seen at St. Ignace.
The near approach of winter and the news that M. Clairville was convalescent and well enough to receive visitors had brought the Abercorns from Hawthorne to pay their somewhat belated respects they had never called before and their arrival at the métairie created much astonishment. Poussette.
This lady was taking the opportunity, in her rôle of auxiliary parson and general parochial assistant, of putting in a good word for Hawthorne and St. Basil's as she sat in her buggy at the door, surrounded by Poussette, Martin, and eight or ten children.
