About the Book

Extrait: CHAPITRE PREMIER A LORETTE -Ma foi, oui, je le répète, j'envie votre sort, mon cher James. -Et moi, je le maudis; vrai Dieu! -Vous plaisantez? -Plaisanter! le diable m'emporte si je plaisante! La belle existence que j'ai en perspective! l'hiver, un froid à geler le mercure; l'été une chaleur à rôtir tous les poissons de la baie d'Hudson. Pour compagnie, des sauvages abominables; pour distraction, des femmes monstres; pour horizon, des neiges et des glaces qui durent huit à dix mois de l'année, et, brochant sur le tout, la faim, la soif qui vous font trop fidèle et constante escorte: voilà le tableau! -Bah! vous exagérez! les Indiennes ne sont pas si laides... -Pardieu, vous en parlez tout à votre aise, vous qui êtes allé chercher dans le désert la plus charmante femme du globe, répondit James avec une teinte d'amertume. Puis, il ajouta, en glissant sur son interlocuteur un coup d'oeil incisif: -Mais comment peut-on regretter la vie d'aventures, quand on a le bonheur pour hôte assidu à son foyer? L'autre soupira sans répondre. James saisit avec avidité ce signe de mécontentement. Comme un éclair, la joie brilla une seconde sur son visage; toutefois, il continua froidement: -Non-seulement vous avez épousé la personne que vous aimiez, mais vous êtes riche, considéré, artiste en renom; en faut-il plus pour être satisfait, mon bon Alfred? -J'avoue, dit celui-ci, qui n'avait point remarqué les divers mouvements de James, j'avoue qu'aux yeux du monde, je paraîtrais un ingrat si je me plaignais. Comme vous le disiez, j'adore Victorine autant qu'elle me chérit... A ces mots, le jeune homme auquel ils s'adressaient détourna la tête: ses sourcils se froncèrent et il se mordit la lèvre inférieure comme pour refouler une émotion violente. Alfred poursuivait toujours, sans se douter de rien. -Nous sommes heureux, fort heureux, et cependant... -Cependant? répéta James en tressaillant. -Cependant, je vous le confie, je m'ennuie parfois. Aller à navigation, rechercher Henri-Émile Chevalier, né le 13 septembre 1828 à Châtillon-sur-Seine, mort le 26 août 1879 à Paris, est un homme de lettres français. Ayant porté les armes, Chevalier dut s'exiler à la suite du coup d'État du 2 décembre 1851, et séjourna en cette qualité aux États-Unis, où il a donné des feuilletons dans le Courrier des États-Unis, à Montréal où il a écrit dans des journaux démocratiques et occupé le poste de bibliothécaire de l'Institut Canadien. Pendant son séjour en Amérique, il a publié un grand nombre de romans édités à Montréal et plusieurs ouvrages sur la Géologie américaine. Il a traduit de l'anglais le Foyer canadien, de Knot, publié l'Art de la beauté paru sous le nom de Lola Montez, et donné une nouvelle édition de l'Histoire du Canada, du frère Gabriel Sagard-Théodat. Il a aussi dirigé la Chasse illustrée. Ayant accepté l'amnistie en 1860, il écrivit des nouvelles dans des journaux, comme le Pays et L'Opinion nationale, et des séries de romans sur les Amérindiens. Il a pris place au Conseil municipal de Paris et a fini par un enterrement civil.
