Our Little Quebec Cousin
Saxe, Mary S. (Mary Sollace)
Children -- Québec (Province) -- Juvenile literature
Oisette, like so many little French Canadian girls who are convent
trained, will become proficient with her needle, she will play the
piano, she will always greet one with a pretty bow and a soft shy
voice should one come to visit her in this wonderful great land of
Canada.
The Province of Quebec is not all French, there are little girls with
a Scotch accent, and there are those with an English accent, and in
Ontario there are those very like American children. But perhaps the
French Canadian child with her quaint little ways in her humble home
proves far the most interesting to the traveler, and her simple life
teaches every one who knows her a lesson of obedience and contentment.
"Chime-Chime-Chime-Chime"--yes, the story ends here, but the bells
still call and call little Oisette to awake, to come to prayers, to
attend vespers--"Chime-Chime-Chime-Chime."
Our little Quebec cousin bows her head when she hears them
"Chime-Chime-Chime-Chime"--and life goes on.
