"'Tis better for both that I shouldn't take advantage of your own forgetfulness, Judith. We can never marry." "You do not love me, cannot find it in your heart, perhaps, to esteem me, Deerslayer!" "Everything in the way of fri'ndship, Judith everything, even to sarvices and life itself.
"Ay Wah I know well enough it's Wah, and altogether Wah Ra'ally, Sarpent, I'm consarned and mortified about you! I never heard so weak an idee come from a chief, and he, too, one that's already got a name for being wise, young and inexper'enced as he is. Canoe you sha'n't have, so long as the v'ice of fri'ndship and warning can count for any thing." "My pale-face friend is right.
"The best fri'nds must often part," the last began, when he saw the whole party grouped around him "yes, fri'ndship can't alter the ways of Providence, and let our feelin's be as they may, we must part. I've often thought there's moments when our words dwell longer on the mind than common, and when advice is remembered, just because the mouth that gives it isn't likely to give it ag'in.
I dare to say your warrior the Lynx was a stout-hearted brave, and worthy of your fri'ndship and respect, but I do not feel unworthy to keep his company, without any passport from your hands.

"But a string has two ends one is fast to the mind of a Mohican; and the other?"
"'Tis nat'ral for women to enter into their husband's victories and defeats, and you are as good as man and wife, so far as prejudyce and fri'ndship go. Here is a bird over head that will put the pieces to the proof. I challenge you to an upward aim, with a flying target. That's a ra'al proof, and one that needs sartain rifles, as well as sartain eyes."
Then, if love does count for so much with some people, particularly with young women, fri'ndship counts for something, too, with other some.
This is the way with women; when they take up a fri'ndship, they do nothing by halves, but are as willing to part with their property as if it had no value in their eyes.
You will make the best of your way to the Mohawk, and the nearest garrison, and send all you can to our assistance. And, Hurry, we are now friends, and I may trust in you, may I not?" "Sartain, Judith; though our fri'ndship would have been all the warmer, could you look upon me as I look upon you." Judith hesitated, and some powerful emotion was struggling within her.
