15522Since the French were no longer to be reckoned with, why were these forts needed?
4719Almighty God,he pursued, in the same tone of deep agony,"what have I done?
4719And did n''t I want to do it?
4719And is it really my brother, Morrison? 4719 And was the body to roll back again?"
4719Are the artillery all present, Captain Wentworth?
4719Are the garrison all present, Mr. Lawson? 4719 But my poor brother, what of him, Lawson?
4719Did you hear?
4719Did you remark that last harrowing exclamation of his wife?
4719Do you imagine, Sir Everard Valletort, the aim of your rifle was true-- that you hit him?
4719Do you see any thing?
4719Good Heaven, is it possible?
4719Have you heard any thing, Erskine?
4719Have you seen Valletort?
4719Hear you this, Colonel de Haldimar?
4719How did he meet his death?
4719How then do you account for the extraordinary circumstance of Donellan having been found murdered in his master''s clothes? 4719 In what manner did Captain de Haldimar and Donellan effect their passage across the ditch?"
4719Mr. President, Captain Blessington,interrupted the governor, haughtily,"are we met here to listen to such language from a private soldier?
4719Quick, Morrison, give me my clothes.--Where is my brother, Sumners?
4719See you not something dark, and slightly moving immediately in a line with the left angle of the bomb- proof?
4719Were they to have returned in the same manner?
4719What a set of prating fools ye are,interrupted the leading sergeant;"who ever saw an Ingian with light hair?
4719What can they be about?
4719What is the meaning of all this, Cassidy?
4719What mean you, Sumners? 4719 What mean you, prisoner?"
4719What think you, Erskine, of the policy of making an example, which may be witnessed by the enemy as well as the garrison? 4719 What, is he only wounded then?"
4719What, sir, is it you say?
4719Where are the Indians principally encamped, sirrah?
4719Where is the rascal who fired at us, sirrah? 4719 Where?--in what direction?"
4719Who does your honour mane?
4719Who is the murdered man, then? 4719 Who is this, Erskine?"
4719Why stand ye there, ye dolts,continued their captain,"looking around as if ye were bewitched?
4719Your honour-- you pitiful trading scoundrel-- how dare you talk to me of your honour? 4719 Again the governor interposed:--What possible connexion can there be between this man''s life, and the crime with which he stands charged?
4719Am I not right, Blessington?"
4719Am I to die because I had not firmness to resist the prayer of my captain and of your son, Colonel de Haldimar?"
4719And, even if so, what to gain, I would ask; and by what means was a correspondence with the enemy to be maintained by one in my humble station?
4719Are you guilty, or not guilty?"
4719Are you not ashamed to set such an example to your comrades?"
4719Are you quite certain that it is Captain de Haldimar?"
4719Bring the litter in to the rear.--Mitchell, you old fool, are you grown a coward in your age?
4719But what is it you mean?
4719But what is the matter now, Valletort?
4719But what is the meaning and object of this new sortie?
4719But what, save my poor and wretched wife, have I to regret?
4719By whom, and at what?"
4719Captain Erskine pursued:--"What the devil is the meaning of all this, Johnstone?"
4719Colonel de Haldimar, is the explanation which I gave you only this very hour, and in private, to be made the public instrument of my condemnation?
4719De Haldimar has been slain by the same Indian who killed Murphy.--Do you recollect his scalp cry?
4719Did you remark how displeased the colonel looked as he bungled through it?
4719Do you know, Captain Erskine, our company is again ordered for this duty?"
4719Do you perfectly understand me?"
4719Guilty, or not guilty?"
4719Have you done so?
4719How could the savage contrive to obtain admission?
4719How do you explain this, prisoner?"
4719How happens it the rope is no longer where you say it was placed?
4719How were they respectively dressed?"
4719How, therefore, could he be conveyed away without the alarm being given?
4719Indeed, how is it possible any thing formed of flesh and blood could have escaped us with the vigilant watch that has been kept on the ramparts?
4719Is it likely, with all the incentives to good conduct I have named, I should have proved a traitor to my country?
4719Meanwhile, what answer do you make to the last charge preferred?--Are you guilty, or not guilty?"
4719Now, Sir, I ask what has been my reward?
4719Reginald, do you believe me?
4719Sergeant Cassidy,"he enquired of that individual, who now came to ask if the detachment was to be dismissed,"where have you placed the litter?"
4719Surely you would not tamper with us at such a moment, Erskine?"
4719Tell me, shall I write to Clara for the prize, or will you receive it from her own hands?"
4719Tell me, you villain, what have you to say to these proofs of your treachery?
4719Then springing suddenly up in his bed.--"Morrison, where are my clothes?
4719To whom can you have pledged yourself, and for what, unless it be to some secret enemy without the walls?
4719Was any allusion made to a change of dress before they left the fort?"
4719Well, Johnstone, my brave Scot, ready for another skirmish?"
4719What but disunion could follow this melancholy catastrophe?
4719What matter would it be if ye had all been scalped?"
4719What mean you, man, by this rhodomontade?
4719What more probable, therefore, than that this stranger is at once the cause and the agent of his abduction?"
4719What say you, my friend?
4719What would you more?"
4719Where is my son, sir?
4719Where is the Indian who fired at us just now?
4719Where, where shall I hide myself?"
4719Who is the subaltern of the guard?"
4719Who is there to prove the man he has just described was the same who aimed at Captain de Haldimar''s life at Quebec?"
4719Who the divil ever heard of the officer wearing ammunition shoes?"
4719Why stand you there gazing upon the common, as if the victim of your murderous aim was rising from his bloody couch, to reproach you with his death?
4719Will you please to try some?"
4719Wiseacre?"
4719and did you notice the eagerness with which he enquired if I thought I had hit him?
4719and have the Indians, in reality, turned your brains with fear?"
4719and how comes he to be clad in the uniform of one of our officers?
4719and how is it we find you leagued with our enemies?"
4719and if so, can you produce it, or say where it is to be found?"
4719and the first mortar that sent the howling devils flying in air like so many Will- o''the- wisps, who placed that, Wentworth?"
4719and whither are we now going?
4719are the officers all present?"
4719are ye all mad?
4719are you inclined to forward my suit; and if so, is there any chance for me, think you, with herself?"
4719can it be true-- and is it really not De Haldimar whom I have shot?"
4719he sternly demanded of the sergeant;"why is this halt without my orders, and how comes the body here?"
4719or have you already murdered him, as you did his servant?
4719or was he in reality an Indian?"
4719shouted the latter in a fierce and powerful voice, and in the purest English accent;"hear you the curse and prophecy of this heart- broken woman?
4719what have you learnt connected with his disappearance?"
4719where are Charles de Haldimar and Sir Everard Valletort?"
4719why should Halloway be taken out for the purpose?
4720And do the great chiefs of the Shawanees, and the great chiefs of the Delawares, and the great chiefs of the other nations, ask for peace also?
4720And what may that promise be?
4720And who is he, my good Mullins?
4720But what sudden movement is that within the ruin?
4720But where are his proofs?
4720But why may I not follow your honour?
4720Did you not hear a noise?
4720Do you think me a fool, Captain de Haldimar,he observed, sneeringly,"that you expect so paltry a tale to be palmed successfully on my understanding?
4720Does it make his heart sick to look upon the scalp of a great chief?
4720Does my brother feel pain?
4720Does the great chief of the Ottawas see the big thunder of the Saganaw?
4720Does the great chief of the Ottawas, then, seek for peace in his heart at length?
4720Hark, hear you not the exulting yellings of the monsters? 4720 How is this, Frederick?--Where, then, is Captain Baynton?
4720How is this? 4720 Is it for a boy,"he fiercely asked,"whose eyes know not yet the colour of blood, to judge of the enemies that fall by the tomahawk of Wacousta?
4720Is the gate of the Saganaw open?
4720Is the horrid massacre not finished yet? 4720 Is there a man-- are there any ten men, even with Governor de Haldimar at their head, who will be bold enough to attempt it?"
4720Oh, Captain Baynton, where are we?
4720Oh, Captain Baynton,murmured the fainting girl, her whole soul sinking within her, as she gazed shudderingly on his person,"is there no hope for us?
4720Speak truly, was SHE not the traitress who conducted you here?
4720The Ottawa chief says well,returned the governor;"but will the pale friend of the Ottawa come also to take his seat in the council hall?
4720Think you, Captain Blessington,he proudly retorted,"there is an officer in the fort who should dare to taunt me with my feelings as you have done?
4720This is evidently the suggestion of some European,observed Major Blackwater;"for how should he understand any thing of the nature of a white flag?
4720Was the Saganaw not right, when he said the Ottawa came with guile in his heart, and with a lie upon his lips? 4720 What mean you, Frederick?"
4720What says the great chief of the Ottawas now?
4720What says the smooth face of the Ottawas now?
4720What the devil have you been about all this time, Francois?
4720What thinks the great chief of the Ottawas now?
4720When will the Ottawa and the other chiefs come again?
4720Where is it?--what have you done with it?
4720Where?--whose ghost?--what ghost?--what do you mean, Jack?
4720Who knows what ambuscade the she- divil may not lade your honour into; and thin who will you have to bring you out of it?
4720Why come they now, then, to ask for peace?
4720Why did the Saganaw come into the country of the red skins?
4720Why did they take our hunting grounds from us? 4720 Why persevere in viewing only the more sombre side of the picture?"
4720Why then were you there in this disguise?--and who is he,again holding up the bloody scalp,"whom I have despoiled of this?"
4720Why this delay, Francois? 4720 Why what the devil''s the matter with you now?"
4720Ah, Blessington, why was not this all?
4720But if the great chief meant to be friendly, why did he declare war after smoking the pipe of peace with the Saganaw?
4720But what do I say?
4720But what for do you tink so?
4720Clara, that blush declares you guilty.--But, who have we here?
4720Could this be a refinement of his treachery?
4720Do you not believe me?"
4720Do you not think there was, Valletort?"
4720Does he recollect the terrible chase of the pale face by the friend of the Ottawa?
4720Does my father hear?"
4720Does my father hear?"
4720Does my father hear?"
4720Does my father recollect the bridge on which he killed his young warrior?
4720Does the Ottawa hear?"
4720Has she shared the fate of all?
4720Has your honour secured the pistols?"
4720Hear you not the blood- hounds on their scent?"
4720His young men has found them, then; or how could he know they were spies?"
4720How could the Ottawa go with deceit upon his lips, when his words were truth?"
4720How do you account for it?"
4720I know how deeply you love your father and your brothers, but do these alone occupy your attention?
4720Is his voice still sick, that he can not come; or has the great chief of the Ottawas forgotten to tell him?"
4720Is it then so very extraordinary an attachment should have been the consequence?
4720Is not the Ottawa right?"
4720Is there not a certain friend of Charles whom you have some little curiosity to see also?"
4720Oh, whither would you go?"
4720See you yon theatre of death?"
4720She paused a moment, and then abruptly demanded,"Where is that pale girl now?"
4720Speak, what have you heard?"
4720Tell me, then, as you hope for mercy, have you taken that oath only that you might the more securely betray us to our enemies?
4720Then, after a short pause, and in a voice of tender but exquisite anguish,"Clara, my beloved sister, do you not know me?
4720Well, will you believe what I have to add?
4720What connection have you with them at this moment?
4720What does the Ottawa mean?"
4720What has become of her?"
4720What says the Ottawa?
4720What says the great chief of the Ottawas?"
4720What says the red girl?
4720Where is Madeline?
4720Where is he, Mullins?
4720Who the devil is to see you in the uniform, unless it be Halloway?"
4720Why did he destroy the wigwams of the settlers, and carry off the scalps even of their weak women and children?
4720Why have they strong places encircling the country of the Indians, like a belt of wampum round the waist of a warrior?"
4720Will he enter?
4720Would my father know why he has become a chief of the Ottawas?"
4720You understand me, Charles?
4720and am I the sport of my own delusive fancy?--Do you not see it NOW?"
4720and be balked of the chance of my just revenge?
4720and how came you here?"
4720and that they are not always on the watch to prevent them?"
4720and was he really ignorant of the existence of the danger which threatened them?
4720and what has the pale warrior, the friend of the Ottawa, to do with it?"
4720and who is HE who stood looking through that window not ten minutes since?"
4720dear Miss de Haldimar, do you not know me?"
4720discernment?)
4720exclaimed the youth, as he clasped his trembling and scarcely conscious burden to his chest,"Almighty God, where is she?"
4720from the fort, when I could be so much better employed in guarding your honour from harm?
4720growled the boatswain, addressing the sailor;"how can the stranger keep the bow of his craft on, and grapple at the same time?
4720he asked;"and when will their warriors play at ball upon the common, that the Saganaw may see them and be amused?"
4720he exclaimed aloud, and unable longer to check the ebullition of his feelings,--"what means this?--Is my brain turned?
4720he repeated, while his right hand played convulsively with the handle of his tomahawk;"is it for a De Haldimar to taunt me with ignominy?
4720he said fiercely to the major:--"how is this?
4720hear you the cry of my wolf- dog?"
4720must we die?"
4720or have you reason to suppose her life has been spared?"
4720resumed the governor;"or is he come to the strong hold of Detroit, as he went to the other strong holds, with deceit on his lips?"
4720urged his companion, in the same almost inaudible whisper,"what sound was that?"
4720what can this mean?"
4720what means this disguise?
4720where indeed is she?"
4720where is my cousin?
4720which the devil way does the wind blow now?"
4720why not start directly?"
4911And of the lady who is with him?
4911And to what do these letters bear resemblance?
4911And wherefore thus carefully wrapped up?
4911And your father''s name was Clayton?
4911Any artillery, colonel?
4911Are ye scared at another ghost, and be damned to you, that ye keep groaning there after that fashion?
4911But shall we not be seen by our enemies?
4911But the name,pursued De Haldimar;"how are we to separate the identity of the packets, when we recur to that name of''Reginald?''"
4911But what do you propose that the swimmer and climber should do, Blessington?
4911Ca n''t the poor fat devil of a Canadian snooze a bit in his hammock, without putting you so completely out of your reckoning?
4911Charles, Charles, is this your promise to me?
4911Cornish!--Cornish, did you say?
4911Did my injuries end here?
4911Did n''t you hear it then? 4911 Do you mean, then,"eagerly returned the governor,"that if the mere mode of your death be changed, my son shall be restored?"
4911Do you mean,resumed the colonel,"that a request from yourself to the Ottawa chief will obtain the liberation of my son?"
4911Do you see any prisoners?--Are any of our friends among them?
4911Ellen Halloway!--who calls Ellen Halloway?
4911Ellen, woman, again I ask you where he came from? 4911 Gentle, said you?"
4911Has my father ever made any allusion to that packet since?
4911How acted my brother officers, when, previously to the trial, I alluded to the damnable treachery of your father? 4911 How is the message to be conveyed?"
4911I do;--what mean you?
4911Is this the self- command you pledged yourself to exercise? 4911 Lying concealed, and ready, no doubt, to give the canoes a warm reception,"observed Lieutenant Johnstone;"but where can our friends be?
4911On what mission are you here, if it be not to intrude unwarrantably on a parent''s privacy?
4911The portrait, Charles; what have you done with the portrait?
4911Well, Mullins, what now?
4911Well, what success?
4911What can Danvers be about? 4911 What have you here, Mitchell?"
4911What mean you, fierce, unpitying man?
4911What now, man?--whom have you challenged?
4911What of him?--who was he?
4911What pledge have we of the fact? 4911 What think you of the fact of Halloway being the nephew of this extraordinary man, and both of high family?"
4911What were the charges preferred against me?
4911What, again, Leslie?
4911What, free your hands, and thus afford you a chance of escape?
4911Where did you know him?--Whence came he?
4911Where the devil can Danvers have hid all his crew?
4911Where, in what part?
4911Who has fallen?
4911Who knows but it may be our big friend, come to pay us a visit again? 4911 Who shall announce the intelligence to his sister?"
4911Why does the girl refuse to eat?
4911Why does the girl refuse to eat?
4911Why, what the devil''s the matter with you now, Jack?
4911Will you believe, Blessington, that that man, whose enmity to our colonel seems almost devilish, was once an officer in this very regiment?
4911Will you permit me to examine the portrait and envelopes, Colonel?
4911And how could it be otherwise, since I was the first, beside her father, she had ever seen or recollected to have seen?
4911And would he have done this, had he had reason to believe in the existence of a criminal love for him who evidently was his mortal foe?
4911Are you sure no inducement of private curiosity was mixed up with the discharge of your duty, that you entered thus unannounced?
4911Besides, even were her cruellest fears to be realised, what could await her worse than the past?
4911But how was the report which had reached their ears to be accounted for?
4911But what do I say?"
4911But what have we here?"
4911But what of Frederick and Madeline de Haldimar?
4911But who may resist the destiny that presides over him from the cradle to the grave?
4911But why do you ask?"
4911But, what became of that unfortunate creature?--was she brought in?"
4911Ca n''t you try and tickle him with the bayonet, any of you fellows, and see whether he is made of flesh and blood?"
4911Clara de Haldimar, do you understand me now?"
4911Could Clara,--could his cousin-- could his brother-- could his friend be on board?
4911Could he, in any way, be implicated with his mother?
4911Could it be possible this was the same being alluded to by his father?
4911Did I not tell you,"he continued, in mockery,"that, if my hands were but free, I would give you a specimen of my progress in Indian acquirements?"
4911Did he ever express such to you?"
4911Do n''t you see you''re hugging the weather shore?"
4911Erskine, Blessington, see you not who is behind me?
4911Have you seen the letters, then?"
4911Hope you then to stipulate for the preservation of a life every way forfeited to the offended justice of your country?
4911How came this?
4911How felt-- how acted Colonel de Haldimar throughout this brief but terrible scene?
4911How,"pursued Wacousta, with bitter energy,"shall I express the deep loathing I felt for those children?
4911If I yield her shall I live?"
4911In what, moreover, originated his triumphant expression of feature, when, on that occasion, he reminded him that HIS name was not Reginald?
4911Is the colonel apprised of the dreadful truth, do you know?"
4911It evidently could only have been produced by the discharge of a cannon; and if so, where could the Indians have procured it?
4911It is for the strongest, however, to propose his terms.--If I restore this girl to life, will you pledge yourself to mine?"
4911Lawson?"
4911May I not ask your hand?"
4911Mr. Lawson, quick to the governor, and report that Captain de Haldimar is here: with whom shall he say?"
4911My nephew saved the life of your brother at the hazard of his own; and how has he been rewarded for the generous deed?
4911Not playing the eaves- dropper, surely; and yet, if he meant to have picked off a sentinel, what was to have prevented him from doing it sooner?"
4911Speak; who are you?
4911Tell me,"he anxiously pursued,"was there a portrait enclosed with the letters?"
4911Then turning to the terrified girl,--"You ask, Clara de Haldimar, where you are?
4911Think you that he will see me hanged up like a dog, and fail to avenge my disgraceful death?"
4911To what county did he belong?"
4911Was the family seat called Morton Castle?"
4911What faith can we repose in the word of a fiend, whose brutal vengeance has already sacrificed the gentlest life that ever animated human clay?"
4911What had made him the enemy of his family?
4911What mean you, woman?--What know you of Reginald Morton?"
4911What pledge have you to offer that my son will be restored?"
4911What possible result can it produce, but an utter prostration of every moral and physical energy?
4911What say you, Reginald Morton, that you should not be convicted in the death that awaits the traitor?"
4911What was it but destiny that whispered to me what I had seen was the face of a woman?
4911What were the contents of the packet you received from poor Halloway previous to his execution?
4911What, Colonel de Haldimar afraid to liberate an unarmed prisoner, hemmed in by a forest of bayonets?
4911When?
4911Who blighted my fair name, and cast me forth an alien in the land of my forefathers?
4911Who did all this?
4911Who turned the generous current of my blood into a river of overflowing gall?
4911Who was my prosecutor?
4911Who, in a word, cut me off from every joy that existence can impart to man?
4911Who, then, was this Reginald?
4911Why does he not either open his fire, or crowd sail and away from them?"
4911Why have been so energetic in his caution not to suffer a taint of impurity to attach to her memory?
4911Why should he have supposed the possibility of such impression, unless there had been sufficient cause for it?
4911Why, too, had he evinced so much anxiety to remove from his mind all unfavourable impressions in regard to his mother?
4911Yet how are we to get there?
4911You understand me?"
4911and be scalped in the act?
4911and he glanced sorrowfully at the corpse,"why was our success to be embittered by so great a sacrifice?"
4911and how came the ghost on board of the canoe?"
4911and in whose possession are they now?"
4911and was the latter, then, aware of the connection?"
4911and where and how had originated his father''s connection with so extraordinary and so savage a being?
4911asked Sir Everard;"and will they not be on the watch for our movements, and intercept our retreat?"
4911aspirated the sinking Clara, as she turned her streaming eyes to heaven;"can it be that the human heart can undergo such change?
4911can it be possible?
4911can we not manage to make that, flag serve as his own winding sheet?"
4911do you believe me now?"
4911do you doubt me still?"
4911groaned Wacousta, in fierce anguish of spirit,"who shall expound the complex riddle of thy versatile nature?
4911he exclaimed with almost frantic energy of passion:"do I then press you once more in madness to my doting heart?
4911is there no one to save me?--can nothing touch your stubborn heart?"
4911laughed Wacousta in bitter scorn;"who is there of all your accursed regiment who will dare to take him alive?"
4911presumptuous renegade, is this the deep game you have in view?
4911pursued Wacousta, again striking his brow violently with his hand,--"why is it that I ever feel thus unmanned while recurring to those letters?
4911said Captain Erskine,"are the two best companies of the regiment to be kept at bay by a single desperado?
4911said the officer, whose heart, eye, and ear were painfully on the alert,"what rustling is that we hear overhead?"
4911said the warrior, enquiringly;"Henry Clayton, if I recollect aright?"
4911what could I do, laden with such a trust, and pursued, without the power of defence, by such an enemy?
4911what mean those sounds?"
4911what new movement is that on the part of the savages?"
4911what the hell''s the matter with the man now?"
4911what was that?"
4911what was that?"
4911where am I, that I hear the name of my sainted mother thus familiarly pronounced?"
4911where am I?
4911where am I?"
4911where is Clara?
4911where is my bride?"
4911where is she?
4911who names my father?"
4911who would have ever thought a time would come when both my vengeance and my love would be gratified to the utmost?
29223A solemn, dreadful pompous Shew: Why have I''scap''d their Swords and liv''d to see it?
29223A wretched Sight indeed;[_ Going towards them._ Oh, my Monelia; has thy Spirit fled?
29223Am I return''d full flush''d with Hopes of Joy, With all the Honours Victory can give, To see thee thus?
29223And can this be-- Can Philip be so false?
29223And face me with your savage guilty Eye?
29223And is this all?
29223And kill''d the Indians for Revenge and Plunder?
29223And the fierce Panther fawn upon his Mate?
29223Are all the Chiefs and Warriors here assembled, That we expect to honour this Day''s Council?
29223Are they not Men?
29223Are they not here?
29223Are we awake?
29223Are you experienc''d in this kind of Trade?
29223Are you sincere, or do you feign this Speech?
29223Are you well charg''d?
29223Art thou no more?
29223As how, dear Philip?
29223Base false Deceiver, what could you intend?
29223But how does this affect our present Purpose?
29223But should you fail in these Attempts, and he Prove obstinately fix''d against the War, Where''s then Monelia?
29223But what Returns are these they''ve left behind?
29223But why so much of Mischiefs that may happen?
29223But will not many Indian Chiefs refuse To join the Lists, and hold themselves oblig''d T''assist the Foe when hardly press''d by us?
29223But will your Father be convinc''d of this?
29223But, Honnyman, d''ye think this is not Murder?
29223Ca n''t you avoid them?
29223Can you not feel some tender Passion move, When you behold the Innocent distress''d?
29223Colonel Cockum, what d''they call you?
29223Colonel, they are never worth our minding, What can they do against our Bombs and Cannon?
29223Did you not know she was King Hendrick''s Daughter?
29223Did you not know that she was not your Wife?
29223Did your King tell you thus to treat the Indians?
29223Do not the Wolves defend and help their Fellows, The poisonous Serpent feed her hissing Brood, And open wide her Mouth for their Protection?
29223Do you love Indians better than us white Men?
29223Do you still live to breathe and see the Sun?
29223Does not the Torrent rush with growing Speed, And hurry us to the same wretched End?
29223Does not the ravenous Tyger feed her Young?
29223Does she not merit Love From all who see her move, or hear her speak?
29223Does this make you dance?
29223Doubt you the Truth of this my Declaration?
29223Dwells there such Baseness in a Brother''s Heart?
29223Five Pounds?
29223For they''re possess''d of all the Country round, Or whence Supplies of Implements for War?
29223For what avails all that the World can give?
29223God send the Day that puts them all to sleep, Come, will you crack a Bottle at my Tent?
29223Has Fate exhausted all her Stores of Wrath, Or has she other Vengeance in reserve?
29223Has he not sped?
29223Has ill befell my Brother?
29223Have I delay''d too long?
29223Have I not vow''d my Love to you, Monelia, And open''d all the Weakness of my Heart?
29223Have I then found thee, thou false hearted Traitor?
29223Have you not told us, Death, and Fire, and Hell Await those who are incontinent, Or dare to violate the Rites of Wedlock?
29223Have you not told us, holy Men like you Are by the Gods forbid all fleshly Converse?
29223Here am I: What would you of me?
29223Here, you Blood- hunter, have you lost your Feeling?
29223Hold, thou mad Tyger-- What Attempt is this?
29223How could I think to murder was no Sin?
29223How much you ask per Quart for this strong Rum?
29223How will the good King hear the sad Report?
29223How will the old King and his Hunters smile To see us loaded with the fatt''ning Prey, And joyously relate their own Adventures?
29223How would their Bosoms glow with patriot Shame, To see their Offspring so unlike themselves?
29223I saw him draw the bloody Knife from her, And, starting, ask''d him, Why, or what he meant?
29223I think our Hunters ought to be reveng''d; Their Bodies are found torn by rav''nous Beasts, But who doubts they were kill''d by Englishmen?
29223If you''ve some good, why do n''t you send them here?
29223In Love with whom?
29223Is Torax yet alive?
29223Is all rank Cowardice but Fire and Fury?
29223Is any Mischief here?
29223Is he so vile a Man?
29223Is it all womanish to re- consider And weigh the Consequences of our Actions, Before we desperately rush upon them?
29223Is it because I take them thus unguarded?
29223Is it because Monelia is a Woman?
29223Is it because my Brother''s Charmer dies?
29223Is not this better than an Hour''s Diversion, To hear their Groans, and Plaints, and piteous Cries?
29223Is there no Courage in delib''rate Wisdom?
29223Is there no secret Pity in your Minds?
29223Is there such Perfidy among Mankind?
29223Is there the Half, think you?
29223Is this my Triumph after Victory?
29223Is this our Wedding?
29223Is this the fatal Period of our Love?
29223Is this, is this my Welcome?
29223Jack, is the Rum prepar''d as I commanded?
29223King Hendrick''s Daughter?
29223Know you the Principles by which it prospers, And how to make it lucrative and safe?
29223Know you whose Country you are in?
29223Learn if it shall prosper, Or will it end in Infamy and Shame?
29223May we believe, or is this all a Dream?
29223Must I put on the Face of Joy or Grief?
29223Must these dear Innocents be put to Tortures, Or dash''d to Death, and share our wretched Fate?
29223No Contradiction to your great Design; But will not such Proceeding injure us?
29223No, they were murdered, slyly, basely shot, And who that has a Heart does not resent it?
29223Not a Sin to cheat an Indian, say you?
29223Oh, charming Princess, art thou gone for ever?
29223Oh, wherefore, wherefore, wherefore do I live: Monelia is not-- What''s the World to me?
29223Or Beaver Skins, d''ye think?
29223Or Sacrifice her Children to our Vengeance?
29223Or cherishes young Vipers in his Bosom?
29223Or have some slender Hope that she still liv''d?
29223Or is it Juggling, Fascination all?
29223Or is the Meaning still conceal''d from Man, And only known to Genii and the Gods?
29223Or left young Tygers quiet in their Den?
29223Or shall I shock her with the News of War?
29223Or what avails his flowing Goodness to us?
29223Or would you have me swear some Christian Oath?
29223Our Father''s late Behaviour and Discourse Unite to raise Suspicions in my Mind Of his Designs?
29223Philip, Philip!--Where is Philip gone?
29223Philip, are you come?
29223Present, and pop one down?
29223Say you such Things to us, That you alone may revel in these Pleasures?
29223Say you that Torax then is fond of War?
29223Seem unconcern''d or full of Doubts and Fears?
29223Shall I begin with my old Tale of Love?
29223Shall holy Perfidy and seeming Lies Destroy our Purpose, sink us into Cowards?
29223Shall we fear A Lion chain''d, or in another World?
29223Shall we then, to revenge your Countrymen, To recompense a Wrong by one committed, Rouse all to Arms, and make a general Slaughter?
29223Should War be wag''d, what Discords may we fear Among ourselves?
29223Slain by each other''s Hands, Or what is worse; or by the Air you breath''d?
29223So much Dissimulation in the Earth?
29223So, Murphey, you are come to try your Fortune Among the Savages in this wild Desart?
29223So, what you trade with Indians here to- day?
29223Stop: Are we not unwise to kill this Woman?
29223That I and my dear Babes were by you brought To this Extreme of Wretchedness and Woe?
29223That your God''s Mother liv''d and died a Virgin, And thereby set Example to her Sex?
29223The English are not come?
29223The French are all subdued, But who are in their Stead become our Lords?
29223The Rum?
29223The Torrent rises, and the Tempest blows; Where will this rough, rude Storm of Ruin end?
29223The running Streams and shady Forests where?
29223Then it''s a Perquisite belongs to us?
29223These smother''d Groans and stifled half- drawn Sighs; Does it offend that I''ve return''d in Triumph?
29223Think you, because you have subdu''d the French, That Indians too are now become your Slaves?
29223To gain the Mohawk Princess to my Wishes?
29223Unhappy Princes; this your wretched End; Your Country''s Hopes and your fond Father''s Joy; Are you no more?
29223We''ve heard the Doctrine; what''s the Application?
29223What Foe is here?
29223What Safety shall I have when you are gone?
29223What Shouting do I hear?
29223What can she more?
29223What can you mean?
29223What crimson Floods are yet to drench the Earth?
29223What do I see?
29223What do you fear?
29223What do you here?
29223What has been your Success?
29223What hast thou heard that seems to threaten this, Or is it idle Fancy and Conjectures?
29223What have you done?
29223What have you got to part with to the Indians?
29223What if I have a Value for Monelia, Is it a Crime?
29223What if''tis Peace?
29223What is it shakes my firm and fix''d Resolve?
29223What is the End?
29223What is the Greatness of their King to us?
29223What is your Price for Beaver Skins per Pound?
29223What matters that?
29223What may your great and secret Purpose be, That thus requires Concealment in its Birth?
29223What means all this?
29223What means this Gloom I see in every Face?
29223What means this Outcry, Noise, and Tumult here?
29223What means your Cry?
29223What must I act?
29223What new- form''d Mischiefs hover in the Air, And point their Stings at this devoted Head?
29223What of his Strength or Wisdom?
29223What shall we do with these damn''d bawling Indians?
29223What then is to be done?
29223What then?
29223What will you do?
29223What would the King of England do with Wampum?
29223What-- did I not hear a Groan?
29223When will this Torment end?
29223Whence?
29223Where are we now?
29223Where did they fly?
29223Where is our Trade and Commerce to be carry''d?
29223Where is your Brother?
29223Where next, Monelia, shall I bend my Arm To heal this Discord, this Disorder still, And bring the Chaos Universe to Form?
29223Where shall we hide their savage Carcases?
29223Where was my Brother, not to take Revenge?
29223Where will the Ravage stop?
29223Where will the Slaughter of the Species end?
29223Which is''t you call Five Pound?
29223Who call it complaisant, polite good Breeding, To say Ten thousand things they do n''t intend, And tell their nearest Friends the basest Falsehood?
29223Who ever spar''d a Serpent in the Egg?
29223Who is it do n''t prefer a Death in War To this impending Wretchedness and Shame?
29223Who is it loves his Country, Friends, or Self, And does not feel Resentment in his Soul?
29223Who knows but by pathetic Prayers and Tears Their savage Bosoms may relent towards you, And fix their Vengeance where just Heaven points it?
29223Who now can doubt the Justice of our Cause, Or this Man''s Mission from the King above, And that we ought to follow his Commands?
29223Who rarely speak the Meaning of their Hearts?
29223Who swear and call on Gods when they mean nothing?
29223Who were the Murderers?
29223Who, what were they?
29223Whom see we now?
29223Whose Tongues are full of Promises and Vows?
29223Whose very Language is a downright Lie?
29223Why all this Noise and Shouting?
29223Why did you point me to the painful Sight?
29223Why do you blame me that I am not dead?
29223Why have you let me know Yourself thus guilty in the Eye of Heaven?
29223Why have you let me know the solemn Weight Of horrid Guilt that lies upon us all?
29223Why have you shown this Shipwreck of my Hopes, And plac''d me in this beating Storm of Woe?
29223Why press''d I not upon the fatal Point?
29223Why was I told of my Monelia''s Fate?
29223Why was you alone?
29223Why, do n''t you see the Colonel will not hear you?
29223Will they desert their King in such an Hour, When Pity might induce them to protect him?
29223Wilt thou not return?
29223Would you compare an Indian Prince to those Whose Trade it is to cheat, deceive, and flatter?
29223Would you still tempt my Rage, and fire my Soul, Already bent to spill your treacherous Blood?
29223Would you the Mohawk Emperor displease, And wage a bloody War, by which you made Him and his num''rous Tribes your certain Foes?
29223You, Mr. Englishman, have you got Rum?
29223[_ He retreats from them._ Is it their Innocence that shakes my Purpose?
29223[_ Noise of MONELIA striving behind the scene._ What Sound is that?--It is Monelia''s Voice; And in Distress-- What Monster gives her Pain?
29223[_ Pausing._ Think you they will not spare our dear sweet Babes?
29223[_ Pushes him._ What was his Will, Monelia?
29223[_ Seizing him._ Are you a Christian Priest?
29223[_ They lift him up, and speak to him._ Torax, are you alive?
29223and Philip call''d?
29223d''ye think this right?
29223hav''n''t they a Right to Justice As well as we, though savage in their Manners?
29223have I not said enough?
29223have you found the Secret of my Dream, By all your Cries, and Howls, and Sweats, and Prayers?
29223hold your noisy cursed Nonsense; I''ve heard enough of it; what is it to me?
29223how shall I act my Part?
29223or are our Ears deceiv''d?
29223or how shall I accost her?
29223or where did they escape?
29223or which Way must I turn?
29223the Ruin where?
29223what may we hope?
29223what''s that?
29223where is Chekitan?
29223where their pleasant Haunts?
29223who ever sent such Trumpery to him?
29223you a Colonel, and not command your Men?
29223you a great man too?
19223''Is n''t he a guy?'' 19223 All right,"agreed Christie;"but what could be the chap''s object in spying our movements?"
19223All right,replied Donald,"I''m ready, and nearly as fit as ever; but have you any hope of beating them off eventually, Christie?
19223Am I under your command, Christie?
19223Am I, then, Pontiac''s prisoner?
19223And Diogenes, I say, where is the tub?
19223And Edith was not with him?
19223And did you wish for this marriage?
19223And if I refuse?
19223And is it not, father?
19223And leave you, lad? 19223 And now, Mr. Hester, that--""_ Mister_ Hester?
19223And the third lady? 19223 And what means the circle of serpents?"
19223And will you allow me, as a great favor, to accompany you on this return trip so far as our ways lie together?
19223And you, too, and your brothers?
19223Are they?
19223Are you acquainted with Pontiac, the present war chief of the united tribes?
19223Are you going to drown him?
19223Are you ill, dear?
19223Are you not the daughter of Two Trees, the white- haired major, and is he not the friend of Pontiac? 19223 Are you then taking us to him now?"
19223Bullen''s? 19223 But am I not to be allowed to take part in the rescue of my own sister?
19223But what is this Metai of which you speak?
19223But where have you been lingering all this time? 19223 But why do you not carry this matter to Major Gladwyn, who is in command, instead of to me, who now possess no authority?"
19223But why should he be particularly interested in our welfare, more than in that of others?
19223Did I not say that I was on the point of throwing myself from yonder cliff to escape the misery of such a thing?
19223Did the voice sound at all familiar?
19223Did the white- haired chief kill me when I slept in the house of the two trees?
19223Did you notice that Sir William addressed your''young savage''as Hester?
19223Do I understand you, sir, that this outbreak has already taken place?
19223Do you believe this cock- and- bull story, Hester?
19223Do you dare insinuate--?
19223Do you make a distinction between the two?
19223Do you mean my father, Major Hester?
19223Do you mean that I am thus suspected?
19223Do you mean,demanded Donald, excitedly,"that you know what became of my sister Edith and her companion?"
19223Do you really? 19223 Do you recall the capital English of the person who demanded your surrender last night?"
19223Do you remember that I mentioned seeing a certain bath- tub in one of the canoes that brought this war- party?
19223Do you think he can swim with his feet bound?
19223Does my brother of the two- tree house wish to journey through the country of the Ottawas?
19223For peace or for war?
19223Has Cuyler reached the tort?
19223Has any one else seen these things or noted symptoms of uneasiness among the Indians?
19223Have the members of this Metai signs and passwords by which they may recognize each other?
19223Have we a traitor among us? 19223 Have you chaps really been here twenty- four hours?"
19223He knew nothing of her fate?
19223Her anxiety then must have been for--"But how did you proceed to make good your promise?
19223How could I take my regular morning bath without it? 19223 How did you happen to see all this?"
19223How did your father know of our coming, and why did he send you to care for us?
19223How should I know?
19223How soon?
19223How? 19223 I did; but--""Was it not you who demanded the surrender of the post?"
19223I wonder how you always manage to find out such things?
19223If I leave the post an hour after sunset and walk just beyond the church, will you meet me there and deliver to me your information?
19223If you have an important secret to confide, had we not better enter the house?
19223Is it a joke?
19223Is it a masquerade?
19223Is it not exquisite, aunty?
19223Is n''t he lovely, though?
19223Is she not the daughter of Pontiac?
19223Is that the one?
19223Is that the place, Atoka?
19223Is there any chance of doing it?
19223It was that of an Englishman, though?
19223Laughing as usual, I suppose?
19223Like civilized beings, my dear?
19223Many years have passed, and there has been much fighting since that time; but surely my brother has not forgotten Songa the Ottawa?
19223May I ask if this is Ensign Hester?
19223My sister, say you? 19223 Oh you did, did you?"
19223Set you adrift in your tub?
19223So that is the secret of Pontiac''s wide- spread influence? 19223 Then you must be a son of the great chief?"
19223Then you will surrender?
19223Was he not by birth a warrior who could be naught but brave? 19223 Well, what became of you after that?"
19223Well,cried the voice, impatiently,"do you agree?"
19223What did he answer?
19223What did you do under the tent?
19223What do you make of the case?
19223What do you mean? 19223 What do you propose to do?"
19223What do you think he is?
19223What does it mean? 19223 What does it mean?"
19223What happened to divert her from the absurdity of your masquerade?
19223What is his name, and where may he be found?
19223What is it, Ah- mo?
19223What is this totem?
19223What is wanted?
19223What means this unique headgear?
19223What rascal? 19223 What reason could the beggars have had for lugging it off?
19223What task?
19223What will my brother give him to help the healing of his wounds?
19223What?
19223What?
19223What?
19223When did you ever sleep in Tawtry House? 19223 When?"
19223Where, then, are you going?
19223Who can tell? 19223 Who goes there?"
19223Who is it? 19223 Who is she?"
19223Who? 19223 Why bring ye dead men to this place?"
19223Why ca n''t he sit still and possess his soul in patience, like the rest of us, instead of tramping up and down like the wild beast he looks?
19223Why do n''t you earn it, then?
19223Why, Diogenes, what are you doing here?
19223Why, father, is he not in Detroit?
19223Why,demanded Pontiac,"do I see so many of my white brother''s young men standing outside with guns in their hands?"
19223Will he pull through, think you?
19223Will you come again this evening, before the gates are closed, and bring any further information you may gain during the day?
19223Yes, my dear fellow, I understand; but how can I help it? 19223 Yes; but--""Did you not teach him to throw up breastworks and open a mine?"
19223You do n''t mean that you propose, unarmed and unaided, to attempt anything so hopeless as that?
19223You do n''t mean to say,interrupted the other,"that you were one of the spectators at a scene of torture, and did nothing to prevent it?"
19223You know him, then?
19223You think, then, that the fort is in danger?
19223Am I not of the Totem of the Bear and wearer of the mystic emblem of the Metai?
19223Am I to be kept here, a miserable captive, while others do the work that is rightly mine?"
19223And I suppose the officers get up dances and receptions and excursions and boating parties, or something of that kind, very often?"
19223And you call me''Quickeye''because I caught you peering from the bushes at the Devil''s Hole, do you?
19223Are not you a great medicine man in their estimation, and capable of commanding the fire- demon?
19223Are they safe?"
19223Are you certain he is an Ottawa?"
19223Are you certain that you locked it after admitting her?"
19223As these two stood hand in hand, the younger said:"Can I not persuade you, father, even at this last moment, to change your mind and accompany us?
19223Aubin?"
19223But granting that we are able to withstand an attack, are we prepared for a siege?"
19223But is this Indian an enemy?
19223But tell me, Atoka, was not your sister with two white women on an island not long since?"
19223But tell me, since you have seen Edith so recently, is she so good looking as they say?
19223But was there no help for him, none at all?
19223But what do you propose to do?
19223But what should be done with the white medicine man?
19223But who was the woman who rescued him so splendidly, and what do you suppose became of her?"
19223But you ca n''t for an instant imagine that he had a hand in this outrage?"
19223By the way, Ah- mo, who is the present chief of this magic circle?
19223By the way, Mr. Cuyler, are there many pretty girls in this forest metropolis?"
19223By the way, who was she?"
19223Ca n''t we do something toward their rescue, Gladwyn?
19223Ca n''t you do something to frustrate their wicked plan?
19223Ca n''t you loosen your arms one little bit, aunty?"
19223Could I do less than was done by that little child?
19223Could he abandon a comrade to such a fate?
19223Could he hold out to the bitter end?
19223Cuyler?"
19223Did n''t Madam Rothsay laugh, too?"
19223Did not Frontenac cause an Iroquois warrior to be burned alive in order to terrorize his fellows?
19223Did she know that Edith was to be married?
19223Do I not know that you came in the canoe with the white medicine man from Oswego?
19223Do I not know that you listened outside the open window of the mess- room at Fort Niagara, while the white chiefs talked at night?
19223Do I not know that you painted your face, with the thought that the white man was a fool and would no longer recognize you?
19223Do n''t you notice a difference between us?"
19223Do n''t you remember how highly Madam Rothsay complimented your impersonation of that character?
19223Do n''t you remember the fellows at Niagara were talking of her?
19223Do n''t you think if we should both scream together that they would hear us?"
19223Do not I know all this as well as all the things you have done, and thought of doing?
19223Do you know I do n''t think I like you in a red coat, half so well as in buckskin?"
19223Do you know if that is true, and if so, what her name really is?"
19223Don''you think that maybe Songa has earned a few hours of uninterrupted rest?"
19223Every one was in the highest of spirits, and the gloomy forest rang with shouts and laughter; for was not this the last camp?
19223Had there not been a familiar ring to the tones?
19223Had you challenged him?
19223Hast thou not been the son of my heart from the day thy baby arms clasped my neck and saved me from death?
19223Have n''t you met him?
19223Have you thought out any plan?"
19223Hear him?"
19223How about the explosion of that bit of rock?"
19223How came you here?"
19223How can she be?"
19223How did she happen to be there?
19223How did you happen to think of it?"
19223How did you manage it?"
19223How long was that fuse?
19223How?"
19223I remember him well; but what has he to do with this present affair?"
19223I-- Hello?
19223In the meantime, were they guests or prisoners, and what was to be done with them?
19223Instead of answering this question, the young man replied scornfully:--"So you can speak English, can you, you red scoundrel?
19223Is it enough?"
19223Is it possible?"
19223Is she not safe in the fort?"
19223Is she safe, Christie?"
19223Is she well?
19223May I fetch her, father?
19223May he not have been removed by the magic of his circle?
19223Now, to change the subject, what do you suppose is going on over there?"
19223Of course, Bullen, you do n''t intend to do that?"
19223Or should he slip into the underbrush, take a great circuit about the camp and make his way to Detroit overland through the trackless forest?
19223Orderly, bring me my long range rifle-- will you take this glass, madam, and watch the effect of my shot?
19223Rather clever, is it not?"
19223Saw you ever a more frightful place than this, or a more deadly situation for an ambuscade?"
19223Suddenly some one exclaimed,"What boat is that following so close after you?"
19223Suppose he should select hunting- rifles at one hundred paces?"
19223Surely you do n''t need to be told who she is?"
19223The belle of the evening?
19223The girl the general is so taken with?
19223The question is, whether or not the Indians mean to attack this post, and whether it is prepared for an attack in case they do?"
19223The sensation of the hour?
19223They say she once saved him from the stake or something of the kind, and that he has her monogram tattooed on his arm, do n''t you know?
19223To what am I indebted for the honor of this early call?
19223To what tribe does he belong?"
19223Was Edith again to be snatched from him when almost within his reach?
19223Was he then to be robbed of the fruits of his arduous journeyings?
19223Was not that a sign from the Great Spirit that he wished the stranger to live?
19223Were his sister and Madam Rothsay among those who had escaped with Cuyler?
19223Were the approaching boats indeed filled with friends come to their relief, or, as in the former case, with victorious savages and dejected captives?
19223Were they in pursuit of Cuyler and his handful of fugitives?
19223What are they going to do with it?
19223What are you chaps doing here?
19223What can I do for you?"
19223What could he do?
19223What do you mean?"
19223What do you say, major?
19223What for?
19223What had become of her?
19223What had come over his warriors, that such a thing could be possible?
19223What inducements did you offer them?"
19223What is your surmise?"
19223What will my brother give for her?"
19223What would become of Bullen?
19223What, then, will my brother give us in his place, that the heaviness of our hearts may be lifted?"
19223Where could it have come from?
19223Where did they get it?
19223Where had she come from?
19223Where was she, and by what perils was she surrounded?
19223Where?
19223Who had taught the Indians this diabolical trick of warfare?
19223Who had uttered that cry?
19223Why do the English drive my father to war?"
19223Why had he not known of her arrival sooner?
19223Why had she left them so mysteriously and unkindly on the Muskingum the year before?
19223Why not strike for it at that very moment?
19223Why, lad, what is it?
19223Why?"
19223Wo n''t you consider the proposition seriously?"
19223Would he ever have a better chance?
19223Would he?
19223You are near dead with running; what danger threatens?"
19223You see--""Were you not with the enemy during the attack on Fort Presque Isle?"
19223You would n''t leave them in captivity, would you?"
19223You''ll act for me, old man, of course?"
19223You, Donald, and you, Ah- mo, my dear girl?
19223and did I not see her borne despairingly away in a canoe that is but just lost to sight?"
19223and had he not already, as you have just told, saved the life of a chief of the Metai?"
19223and what has become of its owner?
19223and what treatment does she receive at the hands of Mahng''s ruffians?"
19223and why did n''t I see something of it in the boats yesterday?
19223and would not the morrow witness the completion of their arduous journey?
19223are you crazy?
19223cried Donald,"was she not with you on this very spot but a few minutes since?
19223eh, Bullen?"
19223exclaimed Donald;"when?
19223exclaimed one of the officers, who were following this narration with closest attention;"but did you make it good?"
19223he added,"Hester is the name of that major duffer whose message to Sir Jeffry caused my delay; I wonder if they can be relations?"
19223how could you have imagined such a thing?"
19223moaned the elder woman;"what does it all mean?
19223or how could I transport the necessities of my toilet so safely and conveniently in any other way?"
19223or is it not known to the uninitiated?"
19223or is it witchcraft?
19223or were they in search of him to avenge his looting of the Wyandot lodges?
19223were they on their way to attack Christie in his little fort?
19223what can it mean?"
19223what''s that?
19223where?
19223who comes?"
19223why did n''t you tell me before?"
19223why will your father persist in this horrid war?
19223wo n''t I be glad of a breakfast, though?
19223you fickle dog, you?"
19223you surely do not intend to traverse the wilderness in full fig.?"
6433A Frenchman, eh?
6433A prisoner, or to trade?
6433And Dave?
6433And Hector Bergerac?
6433And after that?
6433And how far to the west do they own the land?
6433And how have you been since last we saw you?
6433And left there all alone?
6433And still you say you are not a spy? 6433 And the stripling, what of him?"
6433And then?
6433And what about word to fall upon the whites and slay them?
6433And what of the plans of the English?
6433And what shall be done with him?
6433And what think you to do then?
6433And where is the white prisoner who was here?
6433And who occupy the lands still further westward?
6433And yet, what good will it do them to carry me off?
6433And you say White Buffalo has gone out again to look for the lost trail?
6433And you will tell your father of it?
6433Are the men with you young men?
6433Are they much of a tribe?
6433Are they near here?
6433Are ye ready, lads?
6433Are you alive?
6433Are you alone, Morris?
6433Are you badly hurt?
6433Are you certain?
6433Are you hurt, son?
6433Are you ready to start?
6433Back again, eh?
6433But how did you get away?
6433But how would they be able to find such a cave?
6433But if he is dead--?
6433But if they join with the Injuns?
6433But what of that Henry Morris, and that old hunter, Barringford?
6433But what will my French friend do with this Morris?
6433But when they find it out, what then?
6433But where did they take him to?
6433But why did n''t he return to the waterfall?
6433Ca n''t you see him at all?
6433Can I go along?
6433Can it be possible I have spent the whole night down here?
6433Can they have given up the chase?
6433Can we catch them?
6433Dave, son, do n''t you think you had better remain with me?
6433Dead? 6433 Did Jean Bevoir send you?"
6433Did n''t expect nuthin''like this, did you, Dave?
6433Did n''t see him?
6433Did n''t you say Bevoir was dead?
6433Did the Indians at the village see you?
6433Did the elk get away?
6433Did the man have anything with him besides the babies?
6433Did ye git him?
6433Did you believe zat? 6433 Did you ever hear of this Flat Nose?"
6433Did you find them in the snow?
6433Did you go under, Henry?
6433Did you have anything to do with the looting of the pack- train?
6433Did you recognize any of those who attacked you?
6433Did you see any other white people there?
6433Do my white brothers know what that means?
6433Do n''t want to send them to the poorhouse, then?
6433Do n''t you hear him?
6433Do n''t you remember how we used to go out, Henry, and bring down all sorts of small animals?
6433Do n''t you remember the cold I caught when we were up at Lake Ontario?
6433Do n''t you think so, White Buffalo?
6433Do they claim the land up at Lake Erie?
6433Do you know much of the third fellow?
6433Do you know where Dave is now?
6433Do you look for an uprising soon?
6433Do you mean to say that they have been here?
6433Do you mean to say that you will incite the red men to fight us?
6433Do you mean to say you had fifteen pounds and ten shillings?
6433Do you really mean that, Henry?
6433Do you remember the time we first started to chop down trees?
6433Do you suppose he came to see that medicine man?
6433Do you suppose they burnt the post Jean Bevoir had?
6433Do you think he really has the furs?
6433Do you think he will set up a post near us, father?
6433Do you think it impossible to recover such a trail?
6433Does he expect to stay there, or move still further westward?
6433Does it mean digging up the war hatchet?
6433Doin''almost as well as Henry now, ai n''t ye?
6433Father, are you there?
6433For vat, tell me zat?
6433Go, do you hear?
6433Good big fellows, are n''t they? 6433 Great babies, ai n''t they?"
6433Great times, eh, White Buffalo?
6433Has Henry come?
6433Has your father said anything about going out to his trading- post on the Kinotah again?
6433Have you had any trouble?
6433Have you seen any French traders in this vicinity?
6433Have you seen anything of Hector Bergerac?
6433He dealt principally in rum, did n''t he?
6433He''s our best chum, is n''t he? 6433 How are we to get to the other side without a boat?"
6433How far do you calculate the elk is from here?
6433How large do you think our country will get in time, father?
6433How much further do you think he''ll go to- night?
6433How our hands got blistered, and how we would n''t give up because the men were looking on?
6433How you geet avay?
6433How? 6433 I reckon you thought I could n''t do it, eh?"
6433I wonder how long the Indians have known of this cave?
6433I wonder where that horse went to, and how long it will be before Dave and Sam come up?
6433If Pontiac was in command of the Indians at the time of General Braddock''s defeat, do you suppose he had some of the red men bring this stuff here?
6433If they did, why was he ashamed to show''em?
6433If you wish to locate, why not do so here? 6433 Is he seriously hurt?"
6433Is that you, Henry?
6433It''s a curious collection, ai n''t it, Dave?
6433It''s mighty funny I ca n''t find out who they belong to, ai n''t it?
6433Louis Glotte,said James Morris sternly,"I want you to tell me the truth, do you hear?
6433May I ask what you wish of him?
6433My friend?
6433No news of''em, is thar?
6433No take furs from Brown Bear?
6433Of what?
6433Oh, Sam, do you mean to say he is killed?
6433Oh, Sam, what shall we do?
6433Oh, Uncle Sam,began little Nell-- she often called him uncle--"won''t you please let me keep the babies?"
6433Oh, so that''s it, eh? 6433 Perhaps, but let me go, wo n''t you?"
6433Planting guns? 6433 Pontiac?"
6433Sam, is it you?
6433Sam, shall we find that buffalo we''ve been talking about?
6433See thet hollow yonder? 6433 Shall I give''em a dose?"
6433Shall White Buffalo go forward and make a search?
6433Shall we follow Pontiac further?
6433Shall we go forward at once?
6433Shall we leap upon him and make him a prisoner?
6433Shall we put him on a drag?
6433Shall we stop again at the Indian village of Nancoke?
6433Shall you build again?
6433So I am your prisonair?
6433So you found them?
6433So you ran across me, did you? 6433 So you take me to be a spy?"
6433Supposing I wo n''t go with you?
6433Supposing we take another look at the ruins of the old post?
6433The fellow who traveled with Jean Bevoir?
6433The only question is, air we strong enough for''em?
6433The question is, shall we go forward and investigate, or return to the post and give the alarm?
6433The question is, what is it?
6433Then is it a fact that Pontiac fought against us at that time?
6433Then, supposing you go ahead alone and take a look around, while Henry and I go to the post?
6433Think? 6433 Tight fit, eh?"
6433To the poorhouse?
6433Vat ees it you vant?
6433Vat for you close ze gate, Meester Morris?
6433Want to race, eh?
6433Want, do you ask? 6433 Was Pontiac of the Ottawas at the village?"
6433Was it Sam Barringford''s voice?
6433Was n''t little Nell stolen from us by the Indians and then held by that bad French trader, Jean Bevoir?
6433Was there any fighting?
6433Was there anybody else around?
6433We want an English tradin''-post hyer, eh, boys?
6433We wo n''t know what it means until--"Until what, Sam? 6433 We''ll have to go further now, wo n''t we, father?"
6433Well, why should they, when you come to think of it?
6433Were we ever in this neighborhood before?
6433What about Sam?
6433What are you doing?
6433What are you going to do with me?
6433What are you going to do with me?
6433What be they a- saying?
6433What brings you to this place?
6433What can they do with winter so close at hand?
6433What can this mean?
6433What can you do, after Sam here has failed?
6433What did he say about it?
6433What did you learn?
6433What do you make of this, White Buffalo?
6433What do you propose to do with me?
6433What do you want here?
6433What do you want here?
6433What does Minnehaha mean?
6433What does this mean?
6433What for?
6433What had we best do-- tell the commander at Fort Pitt?
6433What has become of Hector Bergerac, do you know?
6433What has become of our white brothers, Bevoir and Valette?
6433What has that got to do with it?
6433What have I done that was wrong?
6433What have you discovered now, Sam?
6433What is it, a tornado?
6433What is it?
6433What is that?
6433What is that?
6433What luck?
6433What makes you say that?
6433What more?
6433What of his clothing, Sam?
6433What want you of me?
6433What''s wrong?
6433When will Pontiac be here?
6433Where are you going to take me?
6433Where are you?
6433Where are your companions?
6433Where are your furs?
6433Where are your furs?
6433Where did all this stuff come from?
6433Where did he go to?
6433Where did he stop overnight?
6433Where did they go to?
6433Where has Barringford gone?
6433Where in the world have you been?
6433Where is Dave?
6433Where is Mamuliekala, the Great Water Bear?
6433Where is Pontiac going?
6433Where is your game?
6433Where upon the Ohio have you placed the new post?
6433Where will you take him?
6433Where?
6433Where?
6433Where?
6433While Pontiac thinks it over can I speak to the prisoner?
6433White Buffalo, will you take me along?
6433Who can answer for the future?
6433Who can tell what the moons to come will bring forth?
6433Who is it?
6433Who organized the attack on my pack- train?
6433Who were the others?
6433Who would have thought it?
6433Who-- who say zat Louis Glotte know''bout dat?
6433Why did n''t I have sense enough to hold him back? 6433 Why did n''t you call me before?"
6433Why did n''t you give him another shot?
6433Why did n''t you throw down your packs and leave''em?
6433Why do you ask me questions?
6433Why do you want that?
6433Why does Flat Nose ask the question?
6433Why not? 6433 Why not?"
6433Why should we follow him?
6433Why?
6433Why?
6433Will it rain afore Sunday, Dave?
6433Will they do that?
6433Will they take Dave, or kill him?
6433Will you help me to save what is my own, or must I surrender?
6433Will you keep the babies for the present?
6433Will you promise to go to your father and tell him I have saved you?
6433Will you tell us where your post on the Ohio is located?
6433Winded, eh?
6433With this Dave Morris in your power, what will you do?
6433Wonder if I could get her to aid me?
6433Wonder what''s next?
6433Wonder where Sam can be?
6433Would n''t you think that, after all his upsettings, he would be content to rest and do what was right?
6433Would n''t you? 6433 You are quite sure the Indians on that road are at peace with us?"
6433You did n''t find anything with the man''s name on it?
6433You have n''t seen any of your party since you ran away?
6433You mean of our soldiers?
6433You mean that you will make him promise not to prosecute us?
6433All ready?
6433And how came you to think that?"
6433And if Pontiac fails, what will become of us?
6433And why should n''t he know''em?
6433And you were glad of it, not so?
6433Answered me thet, will ye?"
6433Are not the English and the red men now at peace with each other?"
6433But are you quite sure you are not injured?
6433But now the war is over, do you think we''ll have any more trouble with the Indians?"
6433But what does it mean?
6433CHAPTER XX GUARDING THE TRADING- POST"Did you see anything of Sam Barringford?"
6433CHAPTER XXIII DAVE AND THE FAWN"Sam, do you think he will live?"
6433CHAPTER XXVI STRANGE INDIAN MAGIC"Well, where in the world can Henry have ridden to?"
6433Can I not see what is taking place around us?
6433Can it be that Jean Bevoir, and Valette, and Bergerac were in it, too?
6433Can my friends tell?"
6433Can you not see?
6433Come, shall I save you or not?"
6433Dave, do you want to try it?
6433Did n''t expect it like this, did ye?
6433Did n''t see any deer?"
6433Did you discover who did it?"
6433Did you get the buffalo?
6433Did you say Sam Barringford was going?"
6433Do n''t you?"
6433Do they believe in it, White Buffalo?"
6433Do you feel like following into the cave?"
6433Have ye heard o''Henry, an''the others?"
6433How?"
6433I wonder if I ca n''t manage to escape?"
6433If Henry and Barringford were near, why did they not show themselves?
6433If I do that, will you-- you--""What?"
6433If he''s dead-- but no, I ca n''t think that, can you?"
6433Is not White Buffalo right?"
6433Masson, eh?
6433No army has been sent out here to take possession, and how can the English claim that which they have not even seen or marked out?"
6433Should he risk a rush to the right or the left?
6433So you waited for me?
6433Tell the plain truth?"
6433The Indian must live by the hunt, so what is he to do?"
6433The whites hold hundreds of black slaves, do n''t they?"
6433Then your father shall come to terms, not so?
6433Was Jacques Valette with him?"
6433Well, what do you advise?"
6433What are you doing here?"
6433What can this mean?
6433What does this mean?"
6433What is it?"
6433What is it?"
6433What kind of an animal did you take me for?"
6433What should he do?
6433What were you going to do at the trading- post?"
6433What will become of him?"
6433What would any honest man want?
6433What''ll I do with''em?
6433Whe-- where is the buffalo?"
6433Where are Sam and the others, and the horses?"
6433Where are you?"
6433Where are you?"
6433Where did he get them?"
6433Where has he gone?
6433Where is Henry?"
6433White Buffalo?"
6433Who is there to dispute what he has said?"
6433Who told you that you could n''t?"
6433Why did n''t you shout when you came up?"
6433Will you come in and warm up?"
6433Will you go to the village with me, or remain with Flat Nose?"
6433You ask how are we to fight them, for they are many?
6433[ Illustration:''Where are your furs?''
6433cried the trader, lowering his weapon,"what does this mean?"
6433is that you, White Buffalo?
6433oui!_""And you have n''t it now?"
6433said the Indian, meaning"How do you do?"
6433so you think to escape, not so?"
6433that makes you shiver, does it?"
6433what is that?"
4912Almighty God,he pursued, in the same tone of deep agony,"what have I done?
4912And did n''t I want to do it?
4912And do the great chiefs of the Shawanees, and the great chiefs of the Delawares, and the great chiefs of the other nations, ask for peace also?
4912And is it really my brother, Morrison? 4912 And of the lady who is with him?"
4912And to what do these letters bear resemblance?
4912And was the body to roll back again?
4912And what may that promise be?
4912And wherefore thus carefully wrapped up?
4912And who is he, my good Mullins?
4912And your father''s name was Clayton?
4912Any artillery, colonel?
4912Are the artillery all present, Captain Wentworth?
4912Are the garrison all present, Mr. Lawson? 4912 Are ye scared at another ghost, and be damned to you, that ye keep groaning there after that fashion?"
4912But my poor brother, what of him, Lawson? 4912 But shall we not be seen by our enemies?"
4912But the name,pursued De Haldimar;"how are we to separate the identity of the packets, when we recur to that name of''Reginald?''"
4912But what do you propose that the swimmer and climber should do, Blessington?
4912But what sudden movement is that within the ruin?
4912But where are his proofs?
4912But why may I not follow your honour?
4912Ca n''t the poor fat devil of a Canadian snooze a bit in his hammock, without putting you so completely out of your reckoning?
4912Charles, Charles, is this your promise to me?
4912Cornish!--Cornish, did you say?
4912Did my injuries end here?
4912Did n''t you hear it then? 4912 Did you hear?"
4912Did you not hear a noise?
4912Did you remark that last harrowing exclamation of his wife?
4912Do you imagine, Sir Everard Valletort, the aim of your rifle was true-- that you hit him?
4912Do you mean, then,eagerly returned the governor,"that if the mere mode of your death be changed, my son shall be restored?"
4912Do you mean,resumed the colonel,"that a request from yourself to the Ottawa chief will obtain the liberation of my son?"
4912Do you see any prisoners?--Are any of our friends among them?
4912Do you see any thing?
4912Do you think me a fool, Captain de Haldimar,he observed, sneeringly,"that you expect so paltry a tale to be palmed successfully on my understanding?
4912Does it make his heart sick to look upon the scalp of a great chief?
4912Does my brother feel pain?
4912Does the great chief of the Ottawas see the big thunder of the Saganaw?
4912Does the great chief of the Ottawas, then, seek for peace in his heart at length?
4912Ellen Halloway!--who calls Ellen Halloway?
4912Ellen, woman, again I ask you where he came from? 4912 Gentle, said you?"
4912Good Heaven, is it possible?
4912Hark, hear you not the exulting yellings of the monsters? 4912 Has my father ever made any allusion to that packet since?"
4912Have you heard any thing, Erskine?
4912Have you seen Valletort?
4912Hear you this, Colonel de Haldimar?
4912How acted my brother officers, when, previously to the trial, I alluded to the damnable treachery of your father? 4912 How did he meet his death?"
4912How is the message to be conveyed?
4912How is this, Frederick?--Where, then, is Captain Baynton? 4912 How is this?
4912How then do you account for the extraordinary circumstance of Donellan having been found murdered in his master''s clothes? 4912 I do;--what mean you?"
4912In what manner did Captain de Haldimar and Donellan effect their passage across the ditch?
4912Is it for a boy,he fiercely asked,"whose eyes know not yet the colour of blood, to judge of the enemies that fall by the tomahawk of Wacousta?
4912Is the gate of the Saganaw open?
4912Is the horrid massacre not finished yet? 4912 Is there a man-- are there any ten men, even with Governor de Haldimar at their head, who will be bold enough to attempt it?"
4912Is this the self- command you pledged yourself to exercise? 4912 Lying concealed, and ready, no doubt, to give the canoes a warm reception,"observed Lieutenant Johnstone;"but where can our friends be?
4912Mr. President, Captain Blessington,interrupted the governor, haughtily,"are we met here to listen to such language from a private soldier?
4912Oh, Captain Baynton, where are we?
4912Oh, Captain Baynton,murmured the fainting girl, her whole soul sinking within her, as she gazed shudderingly on his person,"is there no hope for us?
4912On what mission are you here, if it be not to intrude unwarrantably on a parent''s privacy?
4912Quick, Morrison, give me my clothes.--Where is my brother, Sumners?
4912See you not something dark, and slightly moving immediately in a line with the left angle of the bomb- proof?
4912Speak truly, was SHE not the traitress who conducted you here?
4912The Ottawa chief says well,returned the governor;"but will the pale friend of the Ottawa come also to take his seat in the council hall?
4912The portrait, Charles; what have you done with the portrait?
4912Think you, Captain Blessington,he proudly retorted,"there is an officer in the fort who should dare to taunt me with my feelings as you have done?
4912This is evidently the suggestion of some European,observed Major Blackwater;"for how should he understand any thing of the nature of a white flag?
4912Was the Saganaw not right, when he said the Ottawa came with guile in his heart, and with a lie upon his lips? 4912 Well, Mullins, what now?"
4912Well, what success?
4912Were they to have returned in the same manner?
4912What a set of prating fools ye are,interrupted the leading sergeant;"who ever saw an Ingian with light hair?
4912What can Danvers be about? 4912 What can they be about?"
4912What have you here, Mitchell?
4912What is the meaning of all this, Cassidy?
4912What mean you, Frederick?
4912What mean you, Sumners? 4912 What mean you, fierce, unpitying man?"
4912What mean you, prisoner?
4912What now, man?--whom have you challenged?
4912What of him?--who was he?
4912What pledge have we of the fact? 4912 What says the great chief of the Ottawas now?"
4912What says the smooth face of the Ottawas now?
4912What the devil have you been about all this time, Francois?
4912What think you of the fact of Halloway being the nephew of this extraordinary man, and both of high family?
4912What think you, Erskine, of the policy of making an example, which may be witnessed by the enemy as well as the garrison? 4912 What thinks the great chief of the Ottawas now?"
4912What were the charges preferred against me?
4912What, again, Leslie?
4912What, free your hands, and thus afford you a chance of escape?
4912What, is he only wounded then?
4912What, sir, is it you say?
4912When will the Ottawa and the other chiefs come again?
4912Where are the Indians principally encamped, sirrah?
4912Where did you know him?--Whence came he?
4912Where is it?--what have you done with it?
4912Where is the rascal who fired at us, sirrah? 4912 Where the devil can Danvers have hid all his crew?"
4912Where, in what part?
4912Where?--in what direction?
4912Where?--whose ghost?--what ghost?--what do you mean, Jack?
4912Who does your honour mane?
4912Who has fallen?
4912Who is the murdered man, then? 4912 Who is this, Erskine?"
4912Who knows but it may be our big friend, come to pay us a visit again? 4912 Who knows what ambuscade the she- divil may not lade your honour into; and thin who will you have to bring you out of it?"
4912Who shall announce the intelligence to his sister?
4912Why come they now, then, to ask for peace?
4912Why did the Saganaw come into the country of the red skins?
4912Why did they take our hunting grounds from us? 4912 Why does the girl refuse to eat?"
4912Why does the girl refuse to eat?
4912Why persevere in viewing only the more sombre side of the picture?
4912Why stand ye there, ye dolts,continued their captain,"looking around as if ye were bewitched?
4912Why then were you there in this disguise?--and who is he,again holding up the bloody scalp,"whom I have despoiled of this?"
4912Why this delay, Francois? 4912 Why what the devil''s the matter with you now?"
4912Why, what the devil''s the matter with you now, Jack?
4912Will you believe, Blessington, that that man, whose enmity to our colonel seems almost devilish, was once an officer in this very regiment?
4912Will you permit me to examine the portrait and envelopes, Colonel?
4912Your honour-- you pitiful trading scoundrel-- how dare you talk to me of your honour? 4912 Again the governor interposed:--What possible connexion can there be between this man''s life, and the crime with which he stands charged?
4912Ah, Blessington, why was not this all?
4912Am I not right, Blessington?"
4912Am I to die because I had not firmness to resist the prayer of my captain and of your son, Colonel de Haldimar?"
4912And how could it be otherwise, since I was the first, beside her father, she had ever seen or recollected to have seen?
4912And would he have done this, had he had reason to believe in the existence of a criminal love for him who evidently was his mortal foe?
4912And, even if so, what to gain, I would ask; and by what means was a correspondence with the enemy to be maintained by one in my humble station?
4912Are you guilty, or not guilty?"
4912Are you not ashamed to set such an example to your comrades?"
4912Are you quite certain that it is Captain de Haldimar?"
4912Are you sure no inducement of private curiosity was mixed up with the discharge of your duty, that you entered thus unannounced?
4912Besides, even were her cruellest fears to be realised, what could await her worse than the past?
4912Bring the litter in to the rear.--Mitchell, you old fool, are you grown a coward in your age?
4912But how was the report which had reached their ears to be accounted for?
4912But if the great chief meant to be friendly, why did he declare war after smoking the pipe of peace with the Saganaw?
4912But what do I say?
4912But what do I say?"
4912But what for do you tink so?
4912But what have we here?"
4912But what is it you mean?
4912But what is the matter now, Valletort?
4912But what is the meaning and object of this new sortie?
4912But what of Frederick and Madeline de Haldimar?
4912But what, save my poor and wretched wife, have I to regret?
4912But who may resist the destiny that presides over him from the cradle to the grave?
4912But why do you ask?"
4912But, what became of that unfortunate creature?--was she brought in?"
4912By whom, and at what?"
4912Ca n''t you try and tickle him with the bayonet, any of you fellows, and see whether he is made of flesh and blood?"
4912Captain Erskine pursued:--"What the devil is the meaning of all this, Johnstone?"
4912Clara de Haldimar, do you understand me now?"
4912Clara, that blush declares you guilty.--But, who have we here?
4912Colonel de Haldimar, is the explanation which I gave you only this very hour, and in private, to be made the public instrument of my condemnation?
4912Could Clara,--could his cousin-- could his brother-- could his friend be on board?
4912Could he, in any way, be implicated with his mother?
4912Could it be possible this was the same being alluded to by his father?
4912Could this be a refinement of his treachery?
4912De Haldimar has been slain by the same Indian who killed Murphy.--Do you recollect his scalp cry?
4912Did I not tell you,"he continued, in mockery,"that, if my hands were but free, I would give you a specimen of my progress in Indian acquirements?"
4912Did he ever express such to you?"
4912Did you remark how displeased the colonel looked as he bungled through it?
4912Do n''t you see you''re hugging the weather shore?"
4912Do you know, Captain Erskine, our company is again ordered for this duty?"
4912Do you not believe me?"
4912Do you not think there was, Valletort?"
4912Do you perfectly understand me?"
4912Does he recollect the terrible chase of the pale face by the friend of the Ottawa?
4912Does my father hear?"
4912Does my father hear?"
4912Does my father hear?"
4912Does my father recollect the bridge on which he killed his young warrior?
4912Does the Ottawa hear?"
4912Erskine, Blessington, see you not who is behind me?
4912Guilty, or not guilty?"
4912Has she shared the fate of all?
4912Has your honour secured the pistols?"
4912Have you done so?
4912Have you seen the letters, then?"
4912Hear you not the blood- hounds on their scent?"
4912His young men has found them, then; or how could he know they were spies?"
4912Hope you then to stipulate for the preservation of a life every way forfeited to the offended justice of your country?
4912How came this?
4912How could the Ottawa go with deceit upon his lips, when his words were truth?"
4912How could the savage contrive to obtain admission?
4912How do you account for it?"
4912How do you explain this, prisoner?"
4912How felt-- how acted Colonel de Haldimar throughout this brief but terrible scene?
4912How happens it the rope is no longer where you say it was placed?
4912How were they respectively dressed?"
4912How, therefore, could he be conveyed away without the alarm being given?
4912How,"pursued Wacousta, with bitter energy,"shall I express the deep loathing I felt for those children?
4912I know how deeply you love your father and your brothers, but do these alone occupy your attention?
4912If I yield her shall I live?"
4912In what, moreover, originated his triumphant expression of feature, when, on that occasion, he reminded him that HIS name was not Reginald?
4912Indeed, how is it possible any thing formed of flesh and blood could have escaped us with the vigilant watch that has been kept on the ramparts?
4912Is his voice still sick, that he can not come; or has the great chief of the Ottawas forgotten to tell him?"
4912Is it likely, with all the incentives to good conduct I have named, I should have proved a traitor to my country?
4912Is it then so very extraordinary an attachment should have been the consequence?
4912Is not the Ottawa right?"
4912Is the colonel apprised of the dreadful truth, do you know?"
4912Is there not a certain friend of Charles whom you have some little curiosity to see also?"
4912It evidently could only have been produced by the discharge of a cannon; and if so, where could the Indians have procured it?
4912It is for the strongest, however, to propose his terms.--If I restore this girl to life, will you pledge yourself to mine?"
4912Lawson?"
4912May I not ask your hand?"
4912Meanwhile, what answer do you make to the last charge preferred?--Are you guilty, or not guilty?"
4912Mr. Lawson, quick to the governor, and report that Captain de Haldimar is here: with whom shall he say?"
4912My nephew saved the life of your brother at the hazard of his own; and how has he been rewarded for the generous deed?
4912Not playing the eaves- dropper, surely; and yet, if he meant to have picked off a sentinel, what was to have prevented him from doing it sooner?"
4912Now, Sir, I ask what has been my reward?
4912Oh, whither would you go?"
4912Reginald, do you believe me?
4912See you yon theatre of death?"
4912Sergeant Cassidy,"he enquired of that individual, who now came to ask if the detachment was to be dismissed,"where have you placed the litter?"
4912She paused a moment, and then abruptly demanded,"Where is that pale girl now?"
4912Speak, what have you heard?"
4912Speak; who are you?
4912Surely you would not tamper with us at such a moment, Erskine?"
4912Tell me, shall I write to Clara for the prize, or will you receive it from her own hands?"
4912Tell me, then, as you hope for mercy, have you taken that oath only that you might the more securely betray us to our enemies?
4912Tell me, you villain, what have you to say to these proofs of your treachery?
4912Tell me,"he anxiously pursued,"was there a portrait enclosed with the letters?"
4912Then springing suddenly up in his bed.--"Morrison, where are my clothes?
4912Then turning to the terrified girl,--"You ask, Clara de Haldimar, where you are?
4912Then, after a short pause, and in a voice of tender but exquisite anguish,"Clara, my beloved sister, do you not know me?
4912Think you that he will see me hanged up like a dog, and fail to avenge my disgraceful death?"
4912To what county did he belong?"
4912To whom can you have pledged yourself, and for what, unless it be to some secret enemy without the walls?
4912Was any allusion made to a change of dress before they left the fort?"
4912Was the family seat called Morton Castle?"
4912Well, Johnstone, my brave Scot, ready for another skirmish?"
4912Well, will you believe what I have to add?
4912What but disunion could follow this melancholy catastrophe?
4912What connection have you with them at this moment?
4912What does the Ottawa mean?"
4912What faith can we repose in the word of a fiend, whose brutal vengeance has already sacrificed the gentlest life that ever animated human clay?"
4912What had made him the enemy of his family?
4912What has become of her?"
4912What matter would it be if ye had all been scalped?"
4912What mean you, man, by this rhodomontade?
4912What mean you, woman?--What know you of Reginald Morton?"
4912What more probable, therefore, than that this stranger is at once the cause and the agent of his abduction?"
4912What pledge have you to offer that my son will be restored?"
4912What possible result can it produce, but an utter prostration of every moral and physical energy?
4912What say you, Reginald Morton, that you should not be convicted in the death that awaits the traitor?"
4912What say you, my friend?
4912What says the Ottawa?
4912What says the great chief of the Ottawas?"
4912What says the red girl?
4912What was it but destiny that whispered to me what I had seen was the face of a woman?
4912What were the contents of the packet you received from poor Halloway previous to his execution?
4912What would you more?"
4912What, Colonel de Haldimar afraid to liberate an unarmed prisoner, hemmed in by a forest of bayonets?
4912When?
4912Where is Madeline?
4912Where is he, Mullins?
4912Where is my son, sir?
4912Where is the Indian who fired at us just now?
4912Where, where shall I hide myself?"
4912Who blighted my fair name, and cast me forth an alien in the land of my forefathers?
4912Who did all this?
4912Who is the subaltern of the guard?"
4912Who is there to prove the man he has just described was the same who aimed at Captain de Haldimar''s life at Quebec?"
4912Who the devil is to see you in the uniform, unless it be Halloway?"
4912Who the divil ever heard of the officer wearing ammunition shoes?"
4912Who turned the generous current of my blood into a river of overflowing gall?
4912Who was my prosecutor?
4912Who, in a word, cut me off from every joy that existence can impart to man?
4912Who, then, was this Reginald?
4912Why did he destroy the wigwams of the settlers, and carry off the scalps even of their weak women and children?
4912Why does he not either open his fire, or crowd sail and away from them?"
4912Why have been so energetic in his caution not to suffer a taint of impurity to attach to her memory?
4912Why have they strong places encircling the country of the Indians, like a belt of wampum round the waist of a warrior?"
4912Why should he have supposed the possibility of such impression, unless there had been sufficient cause for it?
4912Why stand you there gazing upon the common, as if the victim of your murderous aim was rising from his bloody couch, to reproach you with his death?
4912Why, too, had he evinced so much anxiety to remove from his mind all unfavourable impressions in regard to his mother?
4912Will he enter?
4912Will you please to try some?"
4912Wiseacre?"
4912Would my father know why he has become a chief of the Ottawas?"
4912Yet how are we to get there?
4912You understand me, Charles?
4912You understand me?"
4912and am I the sport of my own delusive fancy?--Do you not see it NOW?"
4912and be balked of the chance of my just revenge?
4912and be scalped in the act?
4912and did you notice the eagerness with which he enquired if I thought I had hit him?
4912and have the Indians, in reality, turned your brains with fear?"
4912and he glanced sorrowfully at the corpse,"why was our success to be embittered by so great a sacrifice?"
4912and how came the ghost on board of the canoe?"
4912and how came you here?"
4912and how comes he to be clad in the uniform of one of our officers?
4912and how is it we find you leagued with our enemies?"
4912and if so, can you produce it, or say where it is to be found?"
4912and in whose possession are they now?"
4912and that they are not always on the watch to prevent them?"
4912and the first mortar that sent the howling devils flying in air like so many Will- o''the- wisps, who placed that, Wentworth?"
4912and was he really ignorant of the existence of the danger which threatened them?
4912and was the latter, then, aware of the connection?"
4912and what has the pale warrior, the friend of the Ottawa, to do with it?"
4912and where and how had originated his father''s connection with so extraordinary and so savage a being?
4912and whither are we now going?
4912and who is HE who stood looking through that window not ten minutes since?"
4912are the officers all present?"
4912are ye all mad?
4912are you inclined to forward my suit; and if so, is there any chance for me, think you, with herself?"
4912asked Sir Everard;"and will they not be on the watch for our movements, and intercept our retreat?"
4912aspirated the sinking Clara, as she turned her streaming eyes to heaven;"can it be that the human heart can undergo such change?
4912can it be possible?
4912can it be true-- and is it really not De Haldimar whom I have shot?"
4912can we not manage to make that, flag serve as his own winding sheet?"
4912dear Miss de Haldimar, do you not know me?"
4912discernment?)
4912do you believe me now?"
4912do you doubt me still?"
4912exclaimed the youth, as he clasped his trembling and scarcely conscious burden to his chest,"Almighty God, where is she?"
4912from the fort, when I could be so much better employed in guarding your honour from harm?
4912groaned Wacousta, in fierce anguish of spirit,"who shall expound the complex riddle of thy versatile nature?
4912growled the boatswain, addressing the sailor;"how can the stranger keep the bow of his craft on, and grapple at the same time?
4912he asked;"and when will their warriors play at ball upon the common, that the Saganaw may see them and be amused?"
4912he exclaimed aloud, and unable longer to check the ebullition of his feelings,--"what means this?--Is my brain turned?
4912he exclaimed with almost frantic energy of passion:"do I then press you once more in madness to my doting heart?
4912he repeated, while his right hand played convulsively with the handle of his tomahawk;"is it for a De Haldimar to taunt me with ignominy?
4912he said fiercely to the major:--"how is this?
4912he sternly demanded of the sergeant;"why is this halt without my orders, and how comes the body here?"
4912hear you the cry of my wolf- dog?"
4912is there no one to save me?--can nothing touch your stubborn heart?"
4912laughed Wacousta in bitter scorn;"who is there of all your accursed regiment who will dare to take him alive?"
4912must we die?"
4912or have you already murdered him, as you did his servant?
4912or have you reason to suppose her life has been spared?"
4912or was he in reality an Indian?"
4912presumptuous renegade, is this the deep game you have in view?
4912pursued Wacousta, again striking his brow violently with his hand,--"why is it that I ever feel thus unmanned while recurring to those letters?
4912resumed the governor;"or is he come to the strong hold of Detroit, as he went to the other strong holds, with deceit on his lips?"
4912said Captain Erskine,"are the two best companies of the regiment to be kept at bay by a single desperado?
4912said the officer, whose heart, eye, and ear were painfully on the alert,"what rustling is that we hear overhead?"
4912said the warrior, enquiringly;"Henry Clayton, if I recollect aright?"
4912shouted the latter in a fierce and powerful voice, and in the purest English accent;"hear you the curse and prophecy of this heart- broken woman?
4912urged his companion, in the same almost inaudible whisper,"what sound was that?"
4912what can this mean?"
4912what could I do, laden with such a trust, and pursued, without the power of defence, by such an enemy?
4912what have you learnt connected with his disappearance?"
4912what mean those sounds?"
4912what means this disguise?
4912what new movement is that on the part of the savages?"
4912what the hell''s the matter with the man now?"
4912what was that?"
4912what was that?"
4912where am I, that I hear the name of my sainted mother thus familiarly pronounced?"
4912where am I?
4912where am I?"
4912where are Charles de Haldimar and Sir Everard Valletort?"
4912where indeed is she?"
4912where is Clara?
4912where is my bride?"
4912where is my cousin?
4912where is she?
4912which the devil way does the wind blow now?"
4912who names my father?"
4912who would have ever thought a time would come when both my vengeance and my love would be gratified to the utmost?
4912why not start directly?"
4912why should Halloway be taken out for the purpose?
