_Visitors. The News. Argument._
Lesson V, Lines 247-267.

this so common in prose?
Which was the better way of viewing the news? Why refer to Louisburg, Beau
Sejour and Port Royal? Had Basil good reasons for his suspicions? Why were
the Acadians safer than their fathers? Why did Benedict wish to have no
fear? What was the purpose of the call? What preparations had been made for
the marriage?

A new character in the story. What others have we met thus far? In what
regard was the Notary held? Describe him. Why did the children like him?
What was the lore of the village? Contrast the blacksmith's and the Notary's
manner. Explain line 299. Does the Notary's story prove his point--that
Justice finally triumphs? Why? What effect upon Basil has the story? Explain
lines 328-329.
