But whether you were Monsieur de Rouille or not, you were all I coveted, and all that I adored; and I vowed that for you I would live or die. I felt assured that one day or another, you would come back; and that conviction supported me. My future husband appeared he was odious. The time fixed for our wedding drew nigh I had but one resource, which was flight.

Montcalm wrote to the minister of war, Rouille, "It is the first time that, with three thousand men and less artillery, a siege has been maintained against eighteen hundred, who could be readily relieved by two thousand, and who could oppose our landing, having the naval superiority on Lake Ontario. The success has been beyond all expectation.
I answered the old gentleman's inquiry of the name and condition of the person to whom he and his daughter had been so much indebted, talked of my father the Compte de Rouillé, of my regiment, and then requested a similar confidence.

Upon this, I wrote to you, Sir, and you were so obliging as to solicit passports for me.
He led her to a small table which he had reserved for another charming duet of tea, cakes, and conversation.

He is a soldier of France, and of our noble Allies, the English. He is an officer of the English Secret Service. The mistake was mine, for which, mon capitaine, I implore your pardon."
Take Rouille away, and then leave me, for I want to laugh and then to sleep." But Rust, blushing deeply at the preposterous closing of the scene, had sneaked quietly out of the room. They met at breakfast without embarrassment. At least Madame was perfectly tranquil; I cannot answer so surely for Rust. In the eyes of the little world of the hotel nothing had been changed.
