when it was too late for La Corriveau to harm her by a confession of the
murder of Caroline.

The hill of Levis, where La Corriveau was gibbetted, was long remembered
in the traditions of the Colony. It was regarded with superstitious awe
by the habitans. The ghost of La Corriveau long haunted, and, in the
belief of many, still haunts, the scene of her execution. Startling
tales, raising the hair with terror, were told of her around the
firesides in winter, when the snow-drifts covered the fences, and the
north wind howled down the chimney and rattled the casement of the
cottages of the habitans; how, all night long, in the darkness, she ran
after belated travellers, dragging her cage at her heels, and defying
all the exorcisms of the Church to lay her evil spirit!

Our tale is now done. There is in it neither poetic nor human justice.
But the tablet of the Chien d'Or still overlooks the Rue Buade; the lamp
of Repentigny burns in the ancient chapel of the Ursulines; the ruins of
Beaumanoir cover the dust of Caroline de St. Castin; and Amelie sleeps
her long sleep by the side of Heloise de Lotbiniere.
