"I hear some one give a long breath behin', and I look round; but, no, it is Norinne with a smile for she never grumble bagosh! What purty eyes she have in her head! She have that Marie in her arms, and I say to Bargon it is like the Madonne in the Notre Dame at Montreal. He nod his head. 'C'est le bon Dieu it is the good God, he say.
Norinne and Bargon they go out to the Souris, and Bargon have a hunder' acre, and he put up a house and a shed not ver' big, and he carry his head high and his shoulders like a wall; yes, yes. First year it is pretty good time, and Norinne's cheeks ah, like an apple they. Bimeby a baby laugh up at Bargon from Norinne's lap.
I laugh and ketch Marie under the arms, and I sit down, and I put him on my foot, and I sing that dam funny English song 'Here We Go to Banbury Cross. An' I say: 'It will be all as happy as Marie pretty quick. Bargon he will have six hunder' dollar, and you a new dress and a hired girl to help you.
I t'ink the same, but I say to him: 'Your head not feel right him too sof'. He shake his head and go down to the field for his horse and ox, and hitch them up together, and go to work making a road. "It is about ten o'clock when the dam thing come. Piff! go a hot splash of air in my face, and then I know that it is all up with Gal Bargon.
Bagosh, I say that time: 'Bargon he have put a belt round the world and buckle it tight to him all right, ver' good. I say to him: 'Bargon, what you do when you get ver' rich out on the Souris River in the prairie west? He laugh and throw up his hands, for he have not many words any kind.
"We have good time that day, and go to bed all happy that night. I get up at five o'clock, an' I go hout. Bargon stan' there looking hout on his field with the horse-bridle in his hand. 'The air not feel right, he say to me.
"Before I go I take a piece of palm it come from the Notre Dame; it is all bless by the Pope and I nail it to the door of the house. 'For luck, I say. Then I laugh, and I speak out to the prairie: 'Come along, good summer; come along, good crop; come two hunder' and fifty dollars for Gal Bargon. Ver' quiet I give Norinne twenty dollar, but she will not take him.
I laugh and ketch Marie under the arms, and I sit down, and I put him on my foot, and I sing that dam funny English song 'Here We Go to Banbury Cross. An' I say: 'It will be all as happy as Marie pretty quick. Bargon he will have six hunder' dollar, and you a new dress and a hired girl to help you.
My skin is bake and rough, but when I look at Gal Bargon I know that his heart is dry like a bone, and, as Parpon say that back time, he have a wheel in his head. Norinne she is quiet, and she sit with her hand on his shoulder, and give him Marie to hold. "But it is no good; it is all over. So I say: 'Let us go back to Pontiac. What is the good for to be rich? Let us be poor and happy once more.
And when I see how Bargon shoulders stoop and his eye get dull, and there is nothing in the jar behin' the door, I fetch a horn with me, and my fiddle, and, bagosh! there is happy sit-you-down. I make Bargon sing 'La Belle Francoise, and then just before I go I make them laugh, for I stand by the cradle and I sing to that Marie: "'Adieu, belle Frangoise; Allons gai! Adieu, belle Francoise!
