The globe of green light floated on till it burst above the mountains, illuminating the lower clouds, and revealing along the slopes of the uplands the coffee-groves, waving and bowing their heads in the wandering winds of that high region. Genifrede shivered at the sight, and her brother threw himself upon her lap.
Who has dared to keep Genifrede from me? She is mine." "Think of her no more, except to implore Heaven's pardon for your intent towards her." And Toussaint produced the ivory ring and phial. "Yes," exclaimed Moyse, "with that ring we obtained that water, which we were to have drunk together." "Here, then, I break the bond by which she was yours."
He threw himself down beside her, holding her hands, and covering them with kisses. "This sod is fresh and green," said he; "but would we were all lying under it!" "Do you say so?" murmured Genifrede. "God forgive me!" he replied. "But we are all wretched." "You repent, then?" said Genifrede. "Well you may! There are no more such, now you have killed him.
Many of them have gone to lay their deaths to my charge in heaven. It is my retribution that Moyse must die. As for Paul, as for Genifrede the sin of the brother is visited upon the brother the sin of the father upon the child." "But," said Therese, "you speak as if you had caused the innocent to be destroyed.
Yet, that is Hedouville, who has his eye and his smiles at play in one place, while his heart and hands are busy in another." "Busy," said Genifrede, "in undermining L'Ouverture's influence, and counteracting his plans; but no one mentioned Ailbaud. Ailbaud " "Stay a moment," said Azua, whose voice had not been heard till then.
His orders, he said, were to deliver his prisoner alive. "Come, my love," said Toussaint to Madame L'Ouverture. "We are to sleep on board a frigate this night. Come. Genifrede! We may sleep in peace. General Brunet will hardly be able to digest your hospitality, my Margot; but you may sleep. Who else?" he asked, as he looked round upon his trembling household.
"The very flowers worship you: but they and all all must yield you to me. You are mine; and yet not mine till I have won you from your father. Genifrede, how shall I distinguish myself? Show me the way, and I shall succeed." "Do not ask me," she replied, sighing. "Nay, whom should I ask?" "I never desired you to distinguish yourself." "You do not wish it?" "No." "Not for your sake?" "No."
I tried to bring back something prettier than I carried away something for each of you but I don't know I find everything here so different from what I had any idea of so very strange that I am afraid you will despise my little presents." While speaking, he shyly held out little parcels to Genifrede and Aimee, who received them graciously, while their mother replied
If I die before the peace of the island is secured, there are two duties which I assign to you to support the spirit of the blacks, and to take my Genifrede for your daughter. The rest of my family love each other, and the world we live in. She loves only Moyse." "She is henceforth my child. But when will you marry them?"
Denis listened with all due belief to his sister's description of those pale lights shooting up over the sky, till he cried out vehemently, "There they are! look!" Genifrede screamed, and covered her face with her hands; while the boy shouted to his father, and ran to call his mother to see the lights. What they saw, however, was little like the pale, cold rays of the aurora borealis.
