Niverville was to have followed them; but he fell ill, and lay helpless at the mouth of the river in such a condition that he could not even write to his commander. Saint-Pierre set out in person from Fort La Reine for Fort La Jonquiere, over ice and snow, for it was late in November.
Monsieur de Saint-Pierre, however, had spoken, and I could not obtain anything. I returned to Montreal with this not too consoling information. There I offered for sale a small piece of property, all that I had inherited from my father. The proceeds of this sale served to satisfy my most urgent creditors. Meanwhile the season was advancing.
In spite of his ungenerous treatment of the sons of La Vérendrye, Saint-Pierre was a brave and capable soldier; but he knew very little of the hardships of western exploration, or of the patience needed in dealing with Indians.
"Um; were the roads bad from Paris?" "He did not say, sire; he never opened his lips." "Silent, was he? Then there is one wise man in France. Thank you, Captain Lessaix." With a salute Lessaix retired, but as he buckled on his sword again Saint-Pierre whispered, "Whence?" "I don't know," replied Lessaix, also under his breath, "but not from Paris!"
This had been, as we saw, assumed by the Abbe de Saint-Pierre. It pervaded the speculation of the age, and was formally deduced from the sensational psychology of Locke and Condillac. It was developed, in an extreme form, in the work of Helvetius, De l'esprit .
"Beaufoy, and the password is Amboise." Again Commines nodded. Beaufoy? That, too, was all in his favour. Beaufoy was one of the younger men and not at all in the King's confidence. If Louis had any sinister coup in his mind, Leslie, or Saint-Pierre, or Lessaix himself would have been on duty.
The only significant thing about my first essays, written between the ages of eighteen and twenty-three, is their serious trend of thought; but the character of my early reading was serious and philosophical. Locke and Johnson and Saint-Pierre and the others no doubt left their marks upon me.
However, as a Bishop must have a Cathedral-church, the chapel of the Benedictine monastery was chosen for this honour and solemnly consecrated the Cathedral of Saint-Pierre of Montpellier. This chapel had been built in the XIV century, and at the time of these episcopal changes, only the nave was finished.
The error of its enthusiasts, from Saint-Pierre and Vauvenargues to Herbart and Count Tolstoi, lies in the interpretation of this cosmic desire, deep as the wells of existence itself, and in the extension to the Conditioned of a phase of the Unconditioned. Will War then never cease? Will universal peace be for ever but a dream?
"His Majesty is asleep; you cannot pass " "His orders are imperative sleeping or waking any hour by day or by night. Who is on guard?" "Monsieur de Saint-Pierre." "Send for him, then. Stir yourself, my man, and don't stand there gaping like a fish." But Saint-Pierre had already heard the altercation, and at the rasp of his spurs on the flags Molembrais turned sharply.
