Now the Colonials on the flank pressed forward, and they also advanced through the lines of the regulars in front and charged with them.
After an excellent voyage the Hotspur landed us at Sydney, where Evans and I changed our names and made our way to the diggings, where, among the crowds who were gathered from all nations, we had no difficulty in losing our former identities. The rest I need not relate. We prospered, we traveled, we came back as rich colonials to England, and we bought country estates.
"They consider us as mere colonials, and we may not so much as have a bishop of our own. I would I had my way, sir." "And what would you do, Mistress Wynne?" asked Mr. Chew. "I would say, 'Mr. Attorney-General, give us the same liberty all the English have, to go and come on the free seas!" "And if not?" said Montresor, smiling.

Some five thousand trained British regulars bore down, working great slaughter on four thousand French, many of them colonials who had never before fought in the open. The rout of the French was complete. Some fled to safety behind the walls of Quebec, others down the Cote Ste. Genevieve and across the St. Charles River, where they stopped pursuit by cutting the bridge.
