There isn't but one thing more I'd like in the house. Just one. And I was wondering if you'd mind if I had it. You knew poor little Mrs. Trueheart was dead, didn't you?" "Yes, but you don't want her ghost, do you?" Miss Gibbie nodded toward the face which had nodded toward hers. "Do you want a spook in the house?" "No a baby she left one five weeks old. Can I adopt it, Miss Gibbie? Would you mind?
"I doubt it not," answered Hendrick thoughtfully, as he relapsed into his usual quiet manner, "and I am glad you appreciate Trueheart, for she is worthy of your regard. Her name was bestowed on her by her Indian relations. My children I have named after some of my kindred in the old country. The tribe to which my wife belongs are called Bethucks.
"But me I likes it when the snow fall," said Trueheart, looking up with a bright smile from the pot, into which she had previously been making investigations. "True true. I think you like whatever I like; at least you try to!" returned the hunter, as he sat down and began to tie the feathers on the head of an arrow. "You even try to speak good grammar for my sake!"
The days that followed this slow awaking were crowded with happiness for the two lovers; when Gabrielle was not by her King's side, he was writing letters to her full of passionate tenderness. "My beautiful Love," "My All," "My Trueheart" such were the sweet terms he lavished on her. "I kiss you a million times. You say that you love me a thousand times more than I love you.
Trueheart laughed and continued her culinary duties. "You told us when we first met," said Captain Trench, who had made himself comfortable on a deerskin beside the baby, "that you had taken special means not to forget your native tongue. Do I guess rightly in supposing that the teaching of it to your wife and children was the means?" "You are right, captain.
Of course, the language of the Micmac Indians is more familiar and agreeable to Trueheart, but she is obstinate, though a good creature on the whole, and insists on speaking English, as you hear." Another little laugh in the vicinity of the earthen pot showed that his wife appreciated the remark.
"He asked me if the singing-birds will gladden his ears and cause his heart to thrill." "What means he by that?" "He only refers to a fact well known among the Indians," replied the hunter, with a quiet smile, "that Trueheart and Goodred have such sweet voices that they are known everywhere by the name of the singing-birds.
