- Excerpt from RESTRICTIONS AND PENALTIES IN DAYS OF YORE
Let us take, for example, dancing. Some of you, in this day and age, might be astonished to learn how the ecclesiastical authorities and even some good people were madly against it. Just before the American Revolution, for example, Jeanne Duon, widow of François Mius, came back from exile and settled with her son Ben in what the French people call, for that reason, "La Pointe-des-Ben" (Muise's Point). January 2, 1777, her daughter Isabelle writes to her from Pubnico, saying that she has heard that she, her mother, allowed dancing in her house, even on Sundays. Moreover, "I hear of the bad use that you have made of the clothing of my deceased sister Cecile; instead of selling them so that people might have prayed to deliver her from purgatory, you have let my other sister make use of them to go to the ball and amusements and serve the devil."
