"Comment allez-vous auj ourd'hui?" "J'm'porte tres bien, merci, Mo'sieu Rene," was the quick response; "et vous?" "Oh, I'm as lively as a cricket." "Going a hunting?" "No, just up here a little way just on business up to Mo'sieu Roussillon's for a moment."

"Governor Hamilton sent a man to Roussillon place with orders to bring him the scabbard of Miss Roussillon's sword, and he now wears the beautiful weapon as if he had come by it honestly. Damn him!" "My dear, dear son, you must not soil your lips with such language!" Father Beret let fall the half of a well bitten cake and held up both hands.
