She is a wonder.

She is at home at the Manor with the cows and the geese.

Jean Jacques travels alone through the parish to Quebec, to Three Rivers, to Tadousac, to the great exhibition at Montreal, but madame, she stays at home.

M'sieu' Jean Jacques is nothing beside her'-- that is what the people say.
