L'autre, qui 6tait parti avec
Zede, ne fat pas plus tot dams Ia
ehambre de ce dernier quill chan

un feu sombre brilla dams SOS yeux:
-Je suis empoisonn6, dit-il;

fallu de bien peu que le franea1'

Tout ceci est bien; mais od dia-
ble "pInt Ocean" a-t-il pris que
les Csnadiens parlaient un patois
de Provence? Oest Ia une chose
don't pelsonne ne SO serait dout6.
Que les Canadiens aient quel-
ques mots ct quelques expressions
sp6ciales, celia est indeniable. En-
France, vous ne trouverez pas une
seule grande Vile qui matt aussi
des expressions locales, incompr6
hensibles pour d'autres que ses
habitants let ceci, nous le prouve-
rons quand on voudra); mais celia
ne su6it pas pour constituer un
"patois."
Ce qu'on entend par "patois" est
une corruption de la langae, ct non
pas une langue; le "patois' SO
parle, IL ne s'ecrit pas; enfin, ct sur.
tout, le "patois" Sc localise dams
un coin de pays. C'est ainsi que
vous trouverez ciuquante, cent
"patois" diff5rents dams nos cam
pagnes FRANCHISES.
Dire que les Canadiens .Francais
parlent un patois franqais, est
done ridicule. On dirait, avec au-
ant de raison, que les Americans
pallent un patols anglais.
