Straight driven by that strong young arm, the long, stout blade was buried to its black hilt in his breast. He looked at her with eyes in which there was a faint surprise as he sank back. Then he raised his voice for the last time. "Help, chére amie! Help!" he cried, and was for ever silent.

You don't say half enough about the long letter which I wrote you on Sunday of the last week. Adieu, chere amie. Albany, 26th January, 1800. We arrived yesterday without accident. To-day I expected Alexis and John; but the stage has arrived without them, and without a line explanatory of the cause of their delay.
Valentine's morning, Conachar," said his good humoured master; "and yet I think you must have slept soundly the night before, since I conclude you were not disturbed by the noise of the scuffle. Why, I thought a lively glune amie would have been at his master's side, dirk in hand, at the first sound of danger which arose within a mile of us."
