“Quo faire to pas woulez rentrer, Tite maîtresse?” and Thérèse answered in the same Creole dialect: “Not now, Grosse tante I shall be back in half an hour to drink a cup of coffee with you.” No English words can convey the soft music of that speech, seemingly made for tenderness and endearment.
To-morrow to-morrow no, this very night, her grandfather and one other, even Maitresse Aimable, should know all; and she should sleep quietly oh, so quietly to-night!
