Questionings, denunciations, curses that made one's hair stand on end Only for a moment. Then the voice of the Admiral was heard again, stilling the chaos as by magic. "Every man to his post. Let order prevail, for love of our Queen! We have stern work before us."
And he wondered because there was joy in her tones. Old Etienne came to the gate with his lantern; the big turbines were stilling their rumble and growl in the deep pits and his day's work was ended. "P'r'aps you may walk to Mother Maillet's with me and say the good word to Jean from Tadousac and to Zelie Dionne, who is now so very glad," suggested the old man, humbly.
