Her confidential secretary, Deschamps, however, afterwards informed her that this nobleman wanted to purchase the place of a coadjutor to his uncle, so as to be certain of succeeding him.
One of the great advantages of the French shoes is that the upper leather never cracks nor bursts, and indeed I have not only found the material better, but also the workmanship. M. Deschamps has acquired much celebrity for the very elegant manner in which his shoes for balls and soirées are executed, after a system of his own, which have now become the fashion in all the saloons in Paris.
Four equerries, Corbineau, Berckheim, d'Audenarde, and Fouler. A superintendent-general of her Majesty's household, Hinguerlot. A secretary of commands, Deschamps. Two head valets, Frere and Douville. Four valets in ordinary. Four men servants. Two head footmen, L'Esperance and d'Argens. Six ordinary footmen.

Such was French Canada, the adopted country of Deschamps the trapper, a native of old France, who made his home in Tadousac while Quebec was yet a growing city; and, caring nothing for toil or hardship, gradually grew to be a grand monsieur in the estimation of the people about him. He loved his country well and, when war came, sent forth three sturdy sons to help repel the British foe.
