"It has been reported to me," said the General, quietly, "that the Butlers, father and son, are in this county to attend a secret council; and that, with the help of Catrine Montour, they expect to carry the Mohawk nation with them as well as the Cayugas and the Senecas.
"Let the Lenape tell you of women!" retorted a Tuscarora sachem, calmly. At this opening of an old wound the Oneidas called on the Lenape to answer; but the Lenape sat sullen and silent, with flashing eyes fixed on the Mohawks. Then Catrine Montour, lashing herself into a fury, screamed for vengeance on the people who had broken the chain-belt with the Long House.
I had a special letter of introduction to him from Buchanan of Catrine, and his partner Smith of Deanstone. I explained to him the object of my visit to Manchester, and he cordially entered into my views. He left his occupation at the time, and went with me to see a place which he thought might be suitable for my workshop. The building was new at hand in Dale Street, Piccadilly.
But after a brief interval the trade rallied; and though prices are low, it is now more flourishing than ever. In Cumnock the number of hands has increased considerably, and in Mauchline there is one workshop so extensive that it may almost be compared to a cotton mill or factory. In other quarters the trade is extending, such as Helensburgh near Greenock, Catrine, Maxwelltown, Dumfries, &c.
It requires no common exertion of good sense and philosophy in persons of elevated rank to keep a friendship properly alive with one much their inferior. For the honour of Ayrshire this man is Professor Dugald Stewart of Catrine.
The girl raised her head: "Ask me concerning the truth, you sachems of the Oneida, and speak for the five war-chiefs who stand in their paint behind you!" An old sachem rose, peering out at her from dim, aged eyes. "Is it war, O Woman of the Rose?" he quavered. "Neah!" she said, sweetly. An intense silence followed, shattered by a scream from the hag, Catrine. "A lie! It is war!
"And what for no?" said she, "if you would let me!" "I wish you were so, indeed!" I cried. "I would be a fine man if I had such a sister. But the rub is that you are Catriona Drummond." "And now I will be Catrine Balfour," she said. "And who is to ken? They are all strange folk here." "If you think that it would do," says I. "I own it troubles me.
"Nor mine at anything save a savage," said I, fearfully peering behind me while my mare trembled under me. "I think we have seen a savage, that is all," fell Dorothy's calm voice. "I think we have seen Catrine Montour." At the name, Van Horn swore steadily. "If that be the witch Montour, she runs like a clansman with the fiery cross," I said, shuddering.
Behold, my hand is empty; Sa-kwe-en-ta, the Fanged One has gone." It was true. There was nothing where, an instant before, I myself had seen the dread thing, crest swaying on a level with her eyes. "Will you be swept away by this young witch's magic?" shrieked Catrine Montour. "Oneidas!" cried Magdalen Brant, "the way is cleared!
Catrine Montour, slavering and gasping, leaned against the painted war-post. Into the fire-ring came dancing a dozen girls, all strung with brilliant wampum, their bodies and limbs painted vermilion, sleeveless robes of wild iris hanging to their knees. With a shout they chanted: "O False-Faces, prepare to do honor to the truth!
