"You are the pretty Jocelyne, the fair grand-daughter of my brother Charles's favourite old nurse, Dame Perrotte; you are she of whom all our gallants spake with so much praise, to the great detriment and neglect of all our ladies of the court. Nay, blush not or rather blush blush, it becomes your pale face well, my dainty one.
And all set so heartily to work to adorn the monk, that the robe was ready by supper time, as was also the charter of agreement prepared and sealed by the Sire de Cande. "Ah, my father!" said the lady, "if you love us, you will refresh yourself after your merry labour by washing yourself in a bath that I have had heated by Perrotte." Amador was then bathed in scented water.
Perrotte was by all odds the best all-round man in the planing mill, and for the simple reason that for fifteen years he had followed the lumber from the raw wood through the various machines till he knew woods and machines and their ways as no other in the mill unless it was old Grant Maitland himself.
It's a bad habit I've got, but that that Tony Perrotte has got my goat and I'm through with him." "All right, Gilby. If you don't like your job you know what you can do," said Maitland coldly. "You mean I can quit?" enquired Gilby hotly. "I mean there's only one boss in these works, and that's me. And my foreman takes my orders and passes them along. Those that don't like them needn't take them."
"Ah! holy Father," said the wench, casting herself at the monk's feet, "you alone can save me, for in your gown I should be sheltered from the anger of God." Saying this, she raised the robe to place herself beneath it, and exclaimed "By my faith! monks are better than knights." "By the sulphur of the devil! You are not acquainted with the monks?" "No," said Perrotte.
The Queen's agent shrugged his shoulders. "And my good aunt has had no visitors?" he resumed, advancing towards the old woman. Perrotte lifted her head, and regarded the captain fixedly, and with a look of scorn, but said not a word. "Search!" said the officer, turning to the soldiers, who had waited without.
Here also he had had doubts of the nature of the malady; at one time he had suspected pregnancy, a suspicion for which there were good grounds. But the symptoms that later developed were not consistent with the first diagnosis. When Perrotte died he and M. Revault, his confrere, thought the cause of death would be seen as poison in an autopsy. But the post-mortem was rejected by the parents.
The accounts, nevertheless, insist more than once that between 1833 and 1841 Helene put away twenty-three persons. If she managed only six at Guern, that total should be twenty-two. From 1849 she accounted for Albert Rabot, the infant Ozanne, Perrotte Mace, Rose Tessier, and Rosalie Sarrazin five. We need no chartered accountant to certify our figures if we make the total twenty-eight.
Therefore, as soon as everyone had wiped his mouth, my lord took care to imprison this devil, whose strength was terrible to behold, and had him conducted to a wretched little closet where Perrotte had arranged her machine in order to annoy him during the night.
The old Huguenot nurse advanced with solemn step into the room, and with a stern and troubled brow; but, on a sudden, a host of recollections seemed to crowd upon her mind at the sight of that emaciated form, and, hurrying to the side of the king, she flung herself down upon the couch and sobbed bitterly. "Perrotte my darling old Perrotte!" sobbed forth the dying king.
