“ Hast thou brought a doctor with thee,
my brother?’* she asked,
“ I have brought no doctor except thy
brother, my sister,” answered Monsieur
Laurentie, “ also a treasure w<hich I
found at the foot of the Calvary down
yonder.”
He had alighted whilst saying this, and
the rest of the conversation was carried
on in whispers. There was some one ill
in the house, and our arrival was ill-
timed, that was quite clear. Whoever
the woman was that had come to the
door, she did not advance to speak to
me. but retreated as soon as the conver­
sation was over.
“ Pardon, madaine,” he said, approach­
ing us, “ but my sister is too much occu­
pied with a sick person to do herself the
hone of attending upon you.”
He did not conduct 1 1 s through the open
door, but led us round the angle of the
presbytery to a small out-house opening
on* to the court, and with no other en­
trance. It was a building lying between
the porch and belfry of the church and
his own dwelling place. But it looked
comfortable and inviting. A fire had been
hastily kindled on an open hearth, and a
heap of wood lay beside it. Tw o beds
were in this rot rn: one with hangings over
the head and .1 large tall cross ^ the
foot board; the other a low, r -
. pal­
let, lying along the foot e*
cruci­
fix hung upon the wall
.u the wood
work of the high window also formed a
cross. It seemed a strange goal to reach
after our day’s wanderings.
Monsieur Laurentie put the lamp down
on the table, and drew the logs of wood
together on the hearth. He was an old
man, as I then thought, over sixty. He
looked round upon us with a benevolent
smile.
“ Madame,” he said, “ our hospitality
is rude and simple, but you are very wel­
come guests. My sister is desolated that
she must leave you to my cares. But if
there be anything you have need of, tell
me, I pray you.”
“ There is nothing, monsieur,” I an­
swered; “ you are too good to us—too
good.**
“ No, no, madaine,” he said, “ be con
tent. To-morrow I will send you to Gran­
ville under the charge of my good Jean.
Sleep well, my children, and fear noth­
ing. The good God will protect you.”
Minima had thrown herself upon the
low pallet bed.
I took off her damp
clothes, and laid her down comfortably
to rest. It was not long before 1 also
was sleeping soundly. Once or twice a
vague impression forced itself upon me
that Minima was talking a great deal in
her dreams. It was the clang of the
bell for matins which fully roused me at
last, but it was a minute or two before
I could make out where I was. Thin
Minima began to talk.
“ How funny that is!” she said, “ there
the boys run, and I can’ t catch one of
them. Father, Temple Secundus is pull­
ing faces at me, and all the boys are
laughing. W ell! it doesn’ t matter, does
it? Only we are so poor, Aunt Nelly
and all. W e’re so poor—so poor—so
poor!”
H er voice fell into a murmur too low
for me to hear what she was saying,
though she went on. talking rapidly, and
laughing and sobbing at times. I called
to her, but she did not answer.
What could ail the child? I went to
her, and took her hands in mine—burning
little hands. I said, “ Minima!** and she
turned to me with a caressing gesture,
raising her hot fingers to stroke my face.
“ Yes, Aunt Nelly. How poor we are,
you and I! I am so tired, and the prince
never comes!”
*
There was hardly room for me in tlie
narrow bed, but I managed to lie down
beside her, and took her into my arms to
soothe her.
She rested there quietly
enough; but her mind was wandering,
and all her whispered chatter was about
the boys, and the dominie, her father, and
the happy days at home in the school in
Epping Forest. As soon as it was light I
dressed myself in haste, and opened my
door to see if I could find any one to send
to Monsieur Laurentie.
The first person I saw was himself,
coming in my direction. I had not fairly
looked at him before, for I had seen him
only by twilight and firelight. His cas­
sock was old and threadbare, and his hat
brown. His hair fell in rather long locks
below his hat, and was beautifully white.
His face was healthy looking, like that
of a man who lived much out of doors,
and his clear, quick eyes shone with a
kindly light. I ran impulsively to meet
him, with outstretched hands, which he
took into his own with a pleasant smile.
“ Oh, come, monsieur,** I cried; “ make
haste! She is ill. my poor Minima!”
The smile faded away from his face in
an instant, and he did not utter a word.
He followed me quickly to the side of
the little bed, laid his hand softly on
the child’s forehead, and felt her pulse.
He lifted up her head gently, and opening
her mouth, looked at her tongue and
throat. He shook his head as he turned
to me with a grave and perplexed expres­
sion, and he spoke with a low, solemn ac­
cent.
“ Madame,” he said, “ It is the fever!**
He left me, and I sank down on a
chair, half stupefied by this new disaster.
It would be necessary to stay where we
were until Minima recovered; yet 1 had
no means to pay these people for the
trouble we should give them, and the ex­
pense we should be to them. I had not
time to decide upon any course, however,
before he returned and brought with him
his sister.
Mademoiselle Therese was a tall, plain,
elderly woman, but with the same pleas­
ant expression of open friendliness a-*
that of her brother. Hhe went through
precisely the same examination of Min­
ima as he had done.
“ The fever!” she ejaculated, in mu« h
the same tone as his. They looked sig
nificantly at each other, and then held a
hurried consultation together outside the
door, after which the care returned alone.
“ Madame,” he said, “ this child is not
your own. as I supposed last night. My
sister says yon are too young to be her
mother. Is she your sifter?“
