Roma at Three Rivers 93

As for Three Rivers, a solitary depression in the level surface of Brudenell Point is the only reminder of the fact that for thirteen fitful years a man of unusual energy, unflinching logic, and great capacity for taking pains, paced restlessly to and fro upon the level walk which he had made, or looked out upon the waters of the haven, dotted with the sails of his little fishing fleet, and dreamed dreams of a great emporium in which he would be a merchant king, giving laws to both fisherman and habitan, and per- haps in moments of calmer reflection, musing upon a happy old age in the bosom of his family, surrounded by grateful villeins to whom he had given a less op-

pressive existence in a new world.
