A Night in Acadie
There was really nothing more to do in the vicinity of Marksville than in the neighborhood of his own small farm; but Elvina would not be down there, nor Amaranthe, nor any of Mame Valtours daughters to harass him with doubt, to torture him with indecision, to turn his very soul into a weather-cock for loves fair winds to play with. Telsphore at twenty-eight had long felt the need of a wife. His home without one was like an empty temple in which there is no altar, no offering. So keenly did he realize the necessity that a dozen times at least during the past year he had been on the point of proposing marriage to almost as many different young 2women of the neighborhood. Therein lay the difficulty, the trouble which Telsphore experienced in making up his mind. Elvinas eyes were beautiful and had often tempted him to the verge of a declaration. But her skin was over swarthy for a wife; and her movements were slow and heavy; he doubted she had Indian blood, and we all know what Indian blood is for treachery. Amaranthe presented in her person none of these obstacles to matrimony. If her eyes were not so handsome as Elvinas, her skin was fine, and being slender to a fault, she moved swiftly about her household affairs, or when she walked the country lanes in going to church or to the store. Telsphore had once reached the point of believing that Amaranthe would make him an excellent wife. He had even started out one day with the intention of declaring himself, when, as the god of chance would have it, Mame Valtour espied him passing in the road and enticed him to enter and partake of coffee and baigns. He would have been a man of stone to have resisted, or to have remained insensible to the charms and accomplishments of the Valtour girls. Finally there was Ganaches widow, seductive rather 3than handsome, with a good bit of property in her own right. While Telsphore was considering his chances of happiness or even success with Ganaches widow, she married a younger man. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
