"You cannot have had good reports of me--no ?" "Yes, I am glad," she answered gently.

"You know, monsieur, mine is a constant debt.

You do not come to me, I take it, as the conqueror of Englishmen." "I come to you," he answered, "as Pierre le Moyne of Iberville, who had once the honour to do you slight service.

"I have not forgotten," she began softly, breaking a silence.
"You will think me bold, but I believe you will never forget," was his meaning reply.
"Yes, you are bold," she replied, with the demure smile which had charmed him long ago.

"I would have gone ten times as far for the same cause," he answered, and he looked boldly, earnestly, into her eyes.
She turned her head away.
