TRANSLATION

This time. Miss Cora Douglas made the acquaintance of the master of the house. . .

Jack Hardy, rather dissatisfied to see civilization enter his home, did not let it be seen {n'en témoigna rien), because hospitality on the prairie is obligatory. . . He found Miss Douglas so amiable {gracieuse) , that soon he sought her society instead of avoiding her. . .

As it was marvelously fine and the early spring carpeted {semait) the fields with little flowers, Miss Douglas and the

children were nearly always out of the house {dehors) and more often on horseback...

One evening, ihc children galloped r.head. Miss Douglas and Jack Hardy followcd more slowly...

"Are we not about {ne devons-nous pas) to cross the field where you found Luna? "

" Yes, there it is."

" Do you think," continued Miss Douglas, " it possible the child could hâve been thrown at such a distance in the terrible accident of nine months ago? I admit the history {cas) of this child interests me extraordinarily. . . If we do not find the mother, I will bring up Luna."...

With many précautions, Miss Douglas announced to Luna, that she was going to take her away {i' emmener) in search of her mother... She took Miss Douglas' hand in hers and said simply: "I am ready."
