Her sole ambition seemed to be to bring up her child like those of the whites.

She attired it in the costume of the French children, with a dress of bright calico, and a cap of the same, trimmed with narrow black lace.

It was a fine child, and the only time I ever saw a smile cross her face was when it was commended and caressed by some member of our family.
Even this, her only source of happiness, poor Agathe was called upon to resign.

During our absence at Green Bay, while the Sauks were in the neighborhood, the child was taken violently ill.

The house at Paquette's, which was the mother's home, was thronged with Indians, and of course there was much noise and disturbance.
