For he was a born woodsman and loved his life. Charle' Charette did not care where he lodged. Neither had he any heart to dance, until he looked through the door of the house where festivities began that season and saw 'Tite Laboise footing it with Étienne St. Martin. Parbleu! With Étienne St. Martin, the squab little lard-eater whose brother, Alexis St.
When the Illinois brigade returned, his wife, who had stood weeping in the cheering crowd while his companions made islands ring with the boat-song at departure, refused to see him. He went to the house of her aunt Laboise, where she lived. Mademoiselle Laboise, her half-breed cousin, met him.
"I didn't want to have trouble with that Charle' Charette and that 'Tite Laboise," explained Étienne. "And I don't want any black feather. It was my brother's stomach. On account of my brother's stomach I have to fight. If they do not let my brother's stomach alone, I will have to kill the whole brigade."
This educated young lady, daughter of a French father and Chippewa mother, was dignified as a nun in her dress of blue broadcloth embroidered with porcupine quills. She was always called Mademoiselle Laboise, while the French girl was called merely 'Tite. Because 'Tite was married, no one considered her name changed to Madame Charette.
He would not usually permit a breach of discipline. But the winter had been so long! "Myself I have no need of black feathers." Étienne gave an insolent cast of the eye to the height where 'Tite Laboise stood. Charle', magnificent of inches, scorned his less-developed antagonist. "Eh, man Gurdon," softly called old Robert Stuart from his window, "set them to it, will ye?
And Mackinac is so dull in winter she can amuse herself but little. It was hard for her to wait your return. Now she will not look at you. It is very silly." What would Madame Laboise advise him to do? Madame would advise him to wait as if nothing had occurred. The curé would admonish 'Tite if she continued her sulking.
