A Fatal Grace (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #2)

by Louise Penny

Here it is then, the dark thing, the dark thing you have waited for so long. And after all, it is nothing new. The lines of Ruth Zardo’s poem floated into her mind. Tonight the dark thing had a name and a face and a pink dress.

Em listened as the notes of the violin visited familiar places. They played around the tree and searched for gifts and laughed at the frosted window looking onto the brightly lit pine trees on the familiar green. The concerto filled the room and for a blessed moment, her eyes closed, Em could pretend it wasn’t Yehudi playing, but someone else.

No, much as she adored her husband she had to admit the only thing he believed in was himself. ‘You’re wrong, you know,’ he said, sitting down beside her on the sofa. ‘I can see what you’re thinking. I believe in you.’ Clara looked at his serious, lovely, Morrow face and kissed it. ‘CC and Fortin are idiots. You know I don’t understand your work, probably never will, but I do know you’re a great artist. I know it here.’ He touched his own breast, and Clara believed him. Maybe she was getting through to him. Or maybe he was getting better at telling her what she wanted to hear. She’d take either.

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache poured his wife a glass of Perrier and kissed the top of her head as he leaned over to peer at the document in her hand.

His wife, Reine-Marie,

his opposite number in the Montreal Metropolitan Police and over cognac at the Club Saint-Denis had made his proposal. ‘An exchange, Armand?’ Marc Brault had asked. ‘How would that work?’

‘Long dead, and buried in another town, my mother hasn’t finished with me yet.’ ‘May I see that?’ Gamache took the book and looked at the cover. ‘I know this poet. I’ve met her. It’s Ruth Zardo.’ He looked at the cover. I’m FINE.

his second in command Inspector Jean Guy Beauvoir at the wheel as they drove

When my death us do part Then shall forgiven and forgiving meet again, Or will it be, as always was, too late?

Agent Robert Lemieux

It was nearly impossible to be both attractive and warm in a Quebec winter. And Jean Guy Beauvoir sure didn’t want to look like a dork in a parka and stupid hat.

No. It was almost impossible to electrocute someone these days, unless you were the governor of Texas.

As of 2022, the only places that still reserve the electric chair as an option for execution are the U.S. states of Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Arkansas and Oklahoma laws provide for its use should lethal injection ever be held to be unconstitutional. Texas - Authorized Methods Lethal injection is the sole method. Although the electric chair has long been a symbol of the death penalty in the United States, its use is in decline due to the rise of lethal injection, which is widely believed to be a more humane method of execution. While some states still maintain electrocution as a legal method of execution, today it is only maintained as a secondary method that may be chosen over lethal injection at the request of the prisoner, except in Tennessee and South Carolina, where it may be used without input from the prisoner if the drugs for lethal injection are not available. As of 2021, electrocution is an optional form of execution in the states of Alabama and Florida, both of which allow the prisoner to choose lethal injection as an alternative method. In the state of Kentucky, the electric chair has been retired, except for those who were sentenced to death for an offense committed prior to March 31, 1998, and who choose electrocution; inmates who do not choose electrocution and inmates sentenced to death for crimes committed after that date are executed by lethal injection. Electrocution is also authorized in Kentucky in case lethal injection is found unconstitutional by a court. The electric chair is an alternate form of execution approved for potential use in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma if other forms of execution are found unconstitutional in the state at the time of execution. On February 8, 2008, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled that execution by electric chair was a "cruel and unusual punishment" under the state's constitution. This brought executions by this method to an end in Nebraska, which had been the last remaining state to retain electrocution as its sole method of execution

annual funspiel.

A bonspiel is a curling tournament, consisting of several games, often held on a weekend. Until the 20th century most bonspiels were held outdoors, on a frozen freshwater loch. Today almost all bonspiels are held indoors on specially prepared artificial ice. Bonspiels in North America Canada Curling Canada, formerly known as the Canadian Curling Association, is the national governing body of the sport in Canada. While bonspiels originated in Scotland, the most notable competitive curling tournament in the world nowadays is the Canadian Men's Curling Championship, The Brier. For many Canadians, this tournament equals or nearly equals the importance of the Olympics and the World Curling Championship.[citation needed] The Canadian Women's Curling Championship is called the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Several Cashspiels are played in Canada every year, with the most important cashspiels being part of the World Curling Tour (WCT). Many local curling clubs and other organizations in Canada also host casual, social bonspiels indoors, and a few are also held outdoors like the Ironman Outdoor Curling Bonspiel in downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba. I found this one in L. Penny's 'Dead Cold'. The action is taking place in Canada and here the character is talking about a curling tournament: About thirty, maybe more. It was the annual funspiel. There was a community breakfast at the legion beforehand. I found only the term bonspiel so I wonder whether it is a dialectal variation or maybe a term for a friendly/festive game?

But if Gamache was ferreting around in Beauvoir’s mind, he’d only find respect for himself. And if he dug deep enough Gamache might eventually find the room Beauvoir tried to keep hidden even from himself. In that room waited Beauvoir’s fears, fetid and hungry. And slouching there, hidden below the fear of rejection and intimacy, sat the fear that someday Beauvoir would lose Gamache. And beside that fear, in that hidden room, sat something else. It was where Beauvoir’s love hid, curled into a tiny protective ball and rolled into the furthest corner of his mind.

Tea Tuesday: What's the Difference Between Tisane and Tea? It’s time to revisit teatime with another edition of tea Tuesday! You know what coffee is, you know what tea is, but do you have any idea what a tisane is? It’s possible that you have heard this term and ‘tea’ used interchangeably, or you may have never heard the term ‘tisane’ at all. The two terms are certainly not one and the same. There are clear characteristics that distinguish true tea from a tisane. With this information, you will be able to blend right in with those tea connoisseurs, and have quite a conversation! Plant Origins True teas come from the Camellia sinensis plant, which is found in tropical and subtropical locations. On the other hand, tisanes come from a water-based infusion of herbs, spices, flowers, leaves, etc. Essentially, an herbal infusion, or tisane is any plant-derived drink other than true tea.

Caffeine Content Teas contain caffeine, with which people tend to have a love-hate relationship. It wakes you up, but may give you a touch of anxiety. Tisanes, contrarily, contain no caffeine, but have diverse herbal components. Preparation Teas and tisanes are both brewed with either a tea bag or a strainer. Tisanes can be prepared using one of two methods. The first method is called decoction. To prepare a tisane using this method, first place the tisane in a pot with cool water. Ensure that this pot is not aluminum, as that can react with the herbs. Next, place the pot on the stove, and bring the water to a boil. You should boil the tisane until two-thirds of the water has evaporated, and then strain it before consumption. Alternately, you can prepare a tisane using the infusion method, in which herbs are steeped in hot water, this is then strained, and the herbs are sifted through. The key difference between teas and tisanes is that tisanes are not made from tea leaves, but rather from this herbal infusion.

‘Georges who?’ ‘Simenon,’ said Peter and smiled at Gamache’s raised brow. ‘I know. His mother was cursed with the pleasure of reading.’ ‘And cursed her son,’ said Gamache.

Georges Joseph Christian Simenon (French: [ʒɔʁʒ simnɔ̃]; 12/13 February 1903 – 4 September 1989) was a Belgian writer, most famous for his fictional detective Jules Maigret. One of the most popular authors of the 20th century, he published around 400 novels, 21 volumes of memoirs and many short stories, selling over 500 million copies. Simenon was never a happy man. Paradoxically, despite his fascination with women and his voracious sexual appetite, the source of his unhappiness seems to have been women, or at least one woman, his mother. Simenon harbored a lifelong resentment toward Henriette Simenon for the lack of affection she showed him in his youth, and he took his revenge in devastating fictional portraits ("Le Chat"), in press interviews and in a series of memoirs and autobiographical novels (notably "La Maison du Canal"). Indeed the demonic energy invested in his writing (he wrote like a man possessed, according to one of his wives) seems to have been intimately related to this lifelong anger at his mother, for within a year of her death in 1970 he suddenly ceased writing altogether. His dealings with other women were not much more successful: he married twice, but in both cases the relationship proved insufficient to his needs and he acquired and discarded a remarkable series of maids and companions, in addition to the prostitutes whom he frequented for some 60 years. One maid, on taking up employment with the Simenons and taking stock of the situation, asked a colleague whether sex with Monsieur Simenon was a condition of employment. No, she was told, it is optional, but you will be asked. The resulting complexity of the Simenon household was such that at one point, hilariously described by Mr. Marnham, the menage consisted of the Master; his first wife; his soon-to-be second wife; Boule, the faithful maid-companion-mistress who lived with him for 40 years; and two children by the two wives (there would eventually be four children by them).

The French, he felt, were far more open about their feelings. The English? Well, they were devious. Never really knew what they were thinking, never mind feeling.

franchement,

Frenching noun [ U ] US (also frenching) Frenching noun [U] (COOKING) Add to word list the action of preparing a piece of meat for cooking by removing meat from the end of the bone: Frenching gives a rack of lamb a clean look for an elegant meal. Fewer examples Frenching added a refined touch to the ribs. Frenching referred to trimming the meat off the shanks of chops. The rack is ready to cut into six chops with no waste (after a quick frenching, if that is desired). How do you use Franchement? It means frankly or truly or in some contexts very or really. It's a word that really adds emphasis to what you are saying. So if you're annoyed about something you could say Je suis colère - I am angry - but if you're really annoyed you could say je suis franchement colère!Oct 2, 2019

Fête des Neiges.

Montreal. To warm up, Parc Jean-Drapeau plans weekends on Île Sainte-Hélène with many activities: skating, ice hockey, zip line, snow scooter and even cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and dog sledding. ! A must-see attraction of the snow festival, the Ice Hotel (from the beginning of January to the end of March) is based on a Finnish concept. On Île Sainte-Hélène, an entire village has been rebuilt entirely in ice, with a 15-room hotel, a 100-seat restaurant, replicas of well-known Montreal buildings, illuminated snow corridors, igloos and a bridge!

The big man was about to tell him how he did it. ‘We listen.’ ‘That’s it?’ ‘We listen really hard. Does that help?’ Gamache grinned. ‘We listen ’til it hurts. No, agent, the truth is, we just listen.’

If you don’t know something, ask. You have to be able to admit you don’t know something, otherwise you’ll just get more and more confused, or worse, you’ll jump to a false conclusion. All the mistakes I’ve made have been because I’ve assumed something and then acted as though it was fact. Very dangerous, Agent Lemieux. Believe me. I wonder if you haven’t already leaped to a false conclusion?’

rien nothing quotations ▼ Je n'ai besoin de rien d'autre. I need nothing else. (archaic) anything quotations ▼ Usage notes Edit Word order:[1] When used as the direct object of a transitive verb, rien is placed in differing positions depending on what other elements are present in the sentence. rien comes after a verb in simple tense. Je ne fais rien. ― I'm not doing anything. As the direct object of a verb in compound tense, rien usually comes between the auxiliary and participle. Je n'ai rien dit. ― I didn't say anything. When followed by a complément, rien usually comes after the participle element. [2] Je n'ai dit rien de tel. ― I said no such thing. rien precedes a verb in the infinitive. Je ne veux rien faire. ― I don't want to do anything. rien can either precede or follow the adverbial pronouns y or en with the second option being the more literary.

‘Désolé, mais qu’est-ce que vous avez dit?’

‘Let every man shovel out his own snow, and the whole city will be passable,’

As Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “Let every man shovel out his own snow, and the whole city will be passable.” New Englanders have long had (apparently divergent) views regarding snow and the issue of removing snow from public ways. This divergence dates to Emerson’s day at least, simply because need for this statement would not have come up, if all his fellow citizens were able and willing shovelers. It does not take a detective to see this situation has not much changed to this day, but the Northampton Department of Public Safety has taken a new, retrograde step, reporting those who do not feel a need to shovel their sidewalks. One could, in the past, simply call 587-1100 and advise of such a location. Received with “this call may be recorded” advice, and by a “real” person (who presumably made pertinent notes from the conversation, and passed those on to the mobile unit patrolling in that area), and all was (usually) resolved. Saturday night, walking a dog through the cold dark night in a gentle snowfall, I noted a residence where the only evidence anyone had touched a shovel was their clean driveway and a path directly from it to their door. I and at least one other person had called several days earlier about this same location. Not only did the resident blow off that (presumed) warning from the city, but there was no sign that anyone was about to “get on it.” The officer who answered my call was unsure if she could request action on this transgression, given snow was actively falling. I was told the patrol officer would be notified, but also that, henceforth, the department wanted such reports to be sent in via computer to their website. Not only do many folks not have that option (while walking down a snowy street in the dark while still more snow is falling), but the idea needlessly precludes the element of “immediacy.” To me, this is a needless impediment to the already low priority placed on action against local scofflaws.

She died on 14 March 1509, at the age of around 65 years, and was buried at her husband's side in the Stavele Parish Church. reason." The book was based on her first-hand observations of courtly life at the Burgundian court. However, she also drew on her mother's experience as lady-in-waiting to Isabella of Portugal, Duchess of Burgundy. In addition to her own observations, she gives those of her mother, and those of another noble lady, Jeanne d'Harcourt, married in 1391 to the Count William de Namur. She had been considered the best authority on court etiquette in the kingdom of France. The resulting collection of the customs of the court forms a kind of family diary embracing three generations, and extending back over more than a century.

Be Calm, and know that I am God.

‘Be still, and know that I am God’ Steve PostGuest columnist Steve Post Like many Bible verses, this one (Psalm 46:10) is often ripped from its context to declare something not intended in the passage itself. Well-meaning Christians may use this as a consolation in times of worry and frustration – as if God is saying, “relax, I got this.” While that errant conclusion is borne out through many other verses (e.g., John 16:33 – “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world”), this particular verse isn’t a promise to Christians, but a warning to those nations warring against Israel.

The third day comes a frost, a killing frost; And, when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do.

‘Niacin,’

Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid, is an organic compound and a vitamer of vitamin B3, an essential human nutrient. It can be manufactured by plants and animals from the amino acid tryptophan. Niacin is obtained in the diet from a variety of whole and processed foods, with highest contents in fortified packaged foods, meat, poultry, red fish such as tuna and salmon, lesser amounts in nuts, legumes and seeds. Niacin as a dietary supplement is used to treat pellagra, a disease caused by niacin deficiency. Signs and symptoms of pellagra include skin and mouth lesions, anemia, headaches, and tiredness. Many countries mandate its addition to wheat flour or other food grains, thereby reducing the risk of pellagra.

I thought we’d be without your poetry for one night,’ said Gabri. ‘Please, continue. I don’t feel quite suicidal enough.’

Be Calm, and know that I am God?

Lastly, in Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth”. This simply means we should stop striving but be patient, be calm, and trust in Him. When in great turmoil, distress, sickness, or in trouble, He says we should cast away fears but place confidence in Him because He is our refuge and protector and by so doing, He will wrought wonders that the unbelievers and the entire people New International Version He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” New Living Translation “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.” English Standard Version “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Berean Standard Bible “Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”

‘Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto in D Major.’

Tchaikovsky wrote his Violin Concerto in March 1878 while staying amid the breathtaking mountains of Clarens, Switzerland on Lake Geneva. The work was spurred by a visit from the violinist Iosif Kotek, who had been asking Tchaikovsky for a violin concerto for some time. After playing through Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole together, Tchaikovsky’s imagination was fired with ideas. Kotek had been one of Tchaikovsky’s admiring students at the Moscow Conservatory, but the two only became close after Kotek’s graduation in 1876. In January 1877, Tchaikovsky confessed his feelings for the violinist in a letter to his brother Modest: “I am in love, as I haven’t been in love for a long time.” Though Kotek was primarily heterosexual, he seems to have returned Tchaikovsky’s feelings. The intensity of their infatuation soon cooled (no doubt in part due to Kotek’s rather active heterosexual pursuits), but Kotek would nevertheless continue to be one of Tchaikovsky’s closest friends. Kotek provided Tchaikovsky with critical emotional support during and after the composer’s disastrous marriage that summer. After only a few unhappy months with his wife, Tchaikovsky realized he would never be able to lead a conventional family life and escaped abroad, hoping to avoid scandal and recover from the psychologically devastating episode (see also Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony). With a generous allowance from his new patroness Nadezhda von Meck (a relationship Kotek had helped foster), Tchaikovsky visited Austria, Italy and Switzerland, where Kotek rejoined him. Work on the concerto progressed quickly; Tchaikovsky would write a passage and Kotek would try it out, giving Tchaikovsky valuable feedback regarding violin technique. The masterpiece that emerged would become one of the most beloved violin concertos in history.

Beau Dommage was singing ‘La complainte du phoque en Alaska’.

Michel Rivard (born September 27, 1951) is a singer-songwriter and musician from Quebec. He was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Michel began his career at an early age appearing in a Canadian television series (Rue des Pignons) and in TV commercials. Rivard's career as a writer and composer began in earnest when he became a member of the theatrical group Quenouille Bleue, established in 1970. Later, he became a member of Théâtre Sainfoin, when it was founded in 1973. Four years later, in 1974, Rivard and other members of Théâtre Sainfoin, formed the group Beau Dommage (an old Québécois expression meaning "certainly" or "damn right"). Rivard wrote and composed for Beau Dommage. Beau Dommage became a very popular group, and as a result of his songwriting ability Rivard's popularity increased as well. Perhaps his most popular song from this era is "La complainte du phoque en Alaska". Although Beau Dommage disbanded in 1978, there were reunion concerts in 1984 and 1994, both of which Rivard participated in. Rivard's concert career continues today and he also continues to perform in theatre. In 2002 his album Simple (a live concert album) came out, and in 2004 Bonsoir…mon nom est toujours Michel Rivard et voici mon album quadruple came out. On August 5, 2007 Rivard performed the last show at the Montreal Spectrum. He had been the only act to perform over one hundred concerts at the venue.

Claman said she wrote it to reflect the narrative arc of a hockey game from the arrival on the rink, to the battle of the game, to the trip home, "plus a cold beer." Since the song was originally classified as an advertising jingle Claman did not originally get residuals but only a one-time creative fee of $800. The piece was originally performed by a 20-member orchestra.

And, when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do.

‘And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,’

In “Henry VIII”, by William Shakespeare, Cardinal Wolsey is removed from his position as advisor to the king. When the king’s spokesmen leave, Cardinal Wolsey responds to his new unemployment with a cililloqy. Shakespeare uses figurative language and allusions to convey Wolsey’s response to his dismissal. Shakespeare uses a variety of figurative language in Wolsey’s response. In the play, Wolsey says “To-day he puts forth...to-morrow blossoms...The third day comes a frost, a killing frost” (Lines 3-6). In this extended metaphor, he compares himself and his career to the life of a farmer. On the first day, the farmer plants the seeds, not unlike Wolsey planting the seeds for his career by working hard. On the second day, the plant blossoms. This is like when Wolsey becomes advisor to the king, and all of his hard work is paid off. Finally, in a cruel twist of fate, a killing frost undos the farmer’s hard work. Wolsey states, “And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again” (Lines 22-23). He compares the king to Lucifer. Lucifer is the fallen angel, and one of the biggest examples of good turning to evil, and the mighty falling into the abyss in the history of theology. Wolsey claims that when the king falls, he will fall devastatingly, and lose all hope as a result. Shakespeare also utilizes allusions to convey Wolsey’s complex meaning. He states, “Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory” (Lines 11-12). The boys he referred to are young and had a vivid imagination. When swimming with bladders, they conducted sea battles in their imagination, hence the term, “sea of glory”. Wolsey says how when he was advisor to the king, any of his wildest dreams could come true, and it filled him

All was silent. All was bright. He tilted his head to stare at the stars. The entire sky was brilliant with them. He thought perhaps this was his favorite part of the day. Standing under a winter’s sky, the stars looking as though God had stopped a storm and the millions of flakes were suspended in the air. Bright and cheerful.

‘Namaste,’ said Beauvoir. ‘It means, the God in me greets the God in you.’ Gamache turned to him, surprised. ‘I looked it up.’
