"I will not taste a drop more till he is gone," said he; "curse Galissoniere's crooked neck could he not have selected a more welcome messenger to send to Beaumanoir? But I have got his name in my list of debtors, and he shall pay up one day for his insolence at Louisbourg." "Tut, tut, shut up your books! you are too mercantile for gentlemen," replied Bigot.
I quite understand that you are no bigot, that you think the Bible clearly permits and encourages total abstinence in certain circumstances, though it does not teach it; that, although a total abstainer yourself, you do not refuse to give drink to your friends if they desire it and all that sort of thing; but pray let it pass, and I won't offend again." "Ah, Sir Richard, you are an unfair foe.
Bigot was in great glee over the success of his stratagem to entrap De Repentigny. "It will keep a thousand years!" replied Le Gardeur, amid a fresh outburst of merriment round the board which culminated in a shameless song, fit only for a revel of satyrs. The Sieur Cadet lolled lazily in his chair, his eyes blinking with a sleepy leer. "We are getting stupidly drunk.
The Intendant had come and gone every day, unchanged in his manner, full of spirits and gallantry, and as warm in his admiration as before; but her womanly instinct told her there was something hidden under that gay exterior.

Bigot would have been quite content with enriching himself and his friends, and turning out of doors the crowd of courtly sycophants who clamored for the plunder of the Colony. He had sense to see that the course of policy in which he was embarked might eventually ruin New France, nay, having its origin in the Court, might undermine the whole fabric of the monarchy.
