Annette - The Metis Spy

After all the turmoil and the besetting dangers this was very sweet

to her;--and it was sweet to him.

In a little the rebellion ended, and Stephens came to the house of

Annette's aunt, and wedded his beloved there. Then he took her to

wild, sweet places in the Territories; and after the lapse of a few

weeks, went with her to the east, where both pleaded for the life of

Colonel Marton. All men worshipped her when she came to our cities;

and when she had obtained the boon for which she had come amongst us,

she went away to the west again. She is happy now as woman can be,

and my latest information is that Julie has prevailed upon her chief

to change his place of abode and come with her to live, for the

remainder of their days, close to the abode of her beloved mistress.

Annette is now the most popular woman in the North-West Territories.

Her beauty seems to have attained a fuller development since we knew

her as a maiden. Her mole is a deeper brown, I really believe, and

her dimple deeper. But best of all her happiness is as well assured

as her beauty.
