Christine had taken a great liking to him, seeing him so robust and upright in his doings, and she plucked up courage at last to ask a favour of him: that of standing godfather to Jacques.

What influenced her above all was the idea of giving the boy a protector in this godfather, whom she found so serious and sensible, even amidst the exuberance of his strength.

Beauchene, the godfather, had selected Madame Seguin as his commere for, since the death of Maurice, Constance shuddered at the bare thought of touching a child.

Beauchêne, le parrain, avait choisi Mme Séguin pour commère, car la pauvre Constance, comme il le disait, frissonnait à la seule pensée de toucher un enfant, depuis la mort de leur Maurice.
