Next day we are on the river, and P'tite Louison try to do the Dance of the Blue Fox on the ice.

While she do it, some one come up swift, and catch her hand and say: 'Ma'm'selle, let's do it together'-- like that! It take her breath away.

It is M'sieu' Hadrian.

He not seem like the other men she know; but he have a sharp look, he is smooth in the face, and he smile kind like a woman.

P'tite Louison, she give him her hand, and they run away, and every one stop to look.
