About the Book

Extrait: I Les fiancés Par une glace, placée au-dessus du piano, Rebecca vit entrer Edwin dans le parloir. Son coeur battit avec force; un éclair traversa ses yeux; elle rougit beaucoup, mais son corps ne fit aucun mouvement, et elle continua de déchiffrer sa partition comme si rien de nouveau ne lui fût arrivé. Sans remarquer l'émotion qui l'avait agitée, Edwin courut à elle en s'écriant d'une voix troublée: - Rebecca ! ma chère Rebecca ! Les doigts de la jeune fille ne quittèrent point les touches de son instrument; cependant elle tourna lentement la tête, et, d'un ton froid: - Ah ! c'est vous, Edwin ! dit-elle. Frappé par la sécheresse de cette réception, il s'arrêta court au milieu de la pièce. - Je croyais, miss Rebecca... balbutia-t-il. Mais elle l'interrompt avec une vivacité fiévreuse: - Vous pouvez retourner d'où vous venez, monsieur ! Edwin pâlit; un frisson parcourut ses membres. Sentant qu'il chancelait, il s'appuya à un guéridon. Rebecca semblait avoir oublié sa présence, et elle tracassait son piano avec plus d'ardeur que jamais. Pendant quelques minutes, nulle parole ne tomba de leurs lèvres: la jeune fille jouait un morceau du célèbre opéra de Balfe, Bohemian Girl. Le jeune homme se demandait s'il devait se retirer ou rester. Mais, fiancé depuis sa plus tendre enfance à Rebecca, élevé près d'elle, connaissant la fougue de son tempérament et la bonté de son coeur, il ne pouvait croire qu'elle fût à jamais fâchée contre lui, bien qu'elle eût des motifs pour lui en vouloir. Aussi, surmontant sa douleur, il brusqua une explication.
About the Author: Henri-Émile Chevalier, né le 13 septembre 1828 à Châtillon-sur-Seine, mort le 26 août 1879 à Paris, est un homme de lettres français. Ayant porté les armes, Chevalier dut s'exiler à la suite du coup d'État du 2 décembre 1851, et séjourna en cette qualité aux États-Unis, où il a donné des feuilletons dans le Courrier des États-Unis, à Montréal où il a écrit dans des journaux démocratiques et occupé le poste de bibliothécaire de l'Institut Canadien. Pendant son séjour en Amérique, il a publié un grand nombre de romans édités à Montréal et plusieurs ouvrages sur la Géologie américaine. Il a traduit de l'anglais le Foyer canadien, de Knot, publié l'Art de la beauté paru sous le nom de Lola Montez, et donné une nouvelle édition de l'Histoire du Canada, du frère Gabriel Sagard-Théodat. Il a aussi dirigé la Chasse illustrée. Ayant accepté l'amnistie en 1860, il écrivit des nouvelles dans des journaux, comme le Pays et l'Opinion nationale, et des séries de romans sur les Amérindiens. Il a pris place au Conseil municipal de Paris et a fini par un enterrement civil.
