When his wife was in grand toilette, and he was under the same roof, he liked her to call on him in her way to her carriage, that he might see her flashing rivieres and tiaras, the lustre of her huge pearls, and the splendour of her emeralds and sapphires and rubies. "Well, Berengaria," he said in a playful tone, "you look divine. Never dine out again in a high dress. It distresses me.
However, he decided on a summer journey, and set out on June 1st, 1681, accompanied by M. de Maizerets, one of his grand vicars. He visited successively Lotbinière, Batiscan, Champlain, Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Trois Rivières, Chambly, Sorel, St. Ours, Contrecoeur, Verchères, Boucherville, Repentigny, Lachesnaie, and arrived on June 19th at Montreal.
Brebeuf set forth for the arduous mission of the Hurons; but on arriving at Trois Rivieres he learned that one of his Franciscan predecessors, Nicolas Viel, had recently been drowned by Indians of that tribe, in the rapid behind Montreal, known to this day as the Saut au Recollet.
They are my most trusty soldiery." "Because they love you best, and owe most to you. What has Vincent discovered below there far-off? Have you your glass, father?" "The deputation, perhaps," said Toussaint. "Yes: there they are! They have crossed the Trois Rivieres, and they are creeping up towards Plaisance. What a mere handful the party looks at this distance!
"Not much," he answers, trying to smile, "at least not too much, M'sieu'." The accent of French Canada is unmistakable. I talk to him in his own dialect. "What part of Quebec do you come from?" "From Trois Rivieres, M'sieu', or rather from a country back of that, the Saint Maurice River." "I know it well often hunted there. But what made you go to the war?"
Ce même défaut de poisson se remarque dans la plus part de lacs et des rivières des Cordillères, probablement par une cause semblable; il n'y en a point dans les deux lacs assez étendus qui sont près de la ville d'Hyvarra dans la province de Quito, non plus que dans les rivières de la province de Pastos.
«Une autre particularité remarquable de ce pays, c'est le défaut de poisson dans toutes les rivières qui l'arrosent: on en trouve cependant dans celle de Bogota où les autres rivières viennent se rendre; mais c'est une seule espèce très-peu abondante, que les Espagnols appellent el Capitan, ou le capitaine; la plus grande longueur de ce poisson est d'environ un pied, sur six pouces de grosseur; il vit dans les eaux troubles et vaseuses de cette rivière, et jamais dans les eaux claires; il est gras et excellent
Every stratagem was resorted to, but the attack failed. Pontiac then invested it, cut off all their supplies, and the garrison was reduced to great distress. But I must break off now, for here we are at Trois Rivieres, where we shall remain for the night. I hope you will not find your accommodation very uncomfortable, Mrs Campbell: I fear as we advance you will have to put up with worse."
But, however untenable this supposition of a fixed state in the surface of this earth, the accuracy of the natural philosopher may still be observed in the absurdity of the proposition. «L'état des montagnes sera fixe, partout où les rivières seront arrivées au point de n'emporter pas plus de limon hors de leur enceinte, que l'air et les pluies n'y déposeront de terre végétable, et voila enfin quel sera le repos, l'état permanent de la surface de notre globe.
She had a wreath of orange-blossoms and myrtle. She wore a necklace, earrings, and brooch of pearls and diamonds, the gift of the Prince of Wales, rivieres of diamonds, the City of London's gift, an opal and diamond bracelet, presented by the Queen, &c., &c. The bride's train was borne by eight unmarried daughters of English dukes, marquises, and earls.
