"Grandmother," we said, as we kissed her fondly, "your words have
fallen in willing and loving hearts, and they will bear fruit. We are
proud now of being called Acadians, for there never was any people
more noble, more devoted to duty and more patriotic than the Acadians
who became exiles, and who braved death itself, rather than renounce
their faith, their king and their country."

Transcriber's note:

Punctuation around quotations was very erratic in this book--this
has been made more uniform. Otherwise, every effort has been made
to remain true to the original spellings and the author's words
and intent.
