Excerpt from Lake Front All you had to do, thought the boy Jacques Marquette, was remember, Just a few minutes more and I'll be with God and Our Lady forever. Like the letter N, the boy sat in the deep embrasure; his toes and his thin stooped back pressed hard against the stone. He closed his black blazing eyes, and under his bristly dark hair his ivory face was tense. White and shining, God and Our Lady welcomed a martyr to Heaven.
