"He is thinking of the battle at Lake George that he did not win, and of all the scalps he did not take. He is thinking of his lost warriors, and the rout of his people and the French." "Even so, Dagaeoga. Now Tandakora and De Courcelles talk with the spy, Garay. They want his news.
But it's all the easier for you to read it, because you're probably thinking the same that I do." "I do, Dagaeoga. Since St. Luc is not able to effect a surprise, he has a great task before him, though he will persist in it, because he wants to destroy our force and our boats also." But the morning passed without any demonstration from the forest.
He can talk the anger from the heart of a raging moose, or he can talk the otter up from the depths of the river. Great is the speech of Dagaeoga." Robert turned very red. Willet laughed and even Tayoga smiled, although the compliment was thoroughly sincere. "You praise me too much, Daganoweda," said young Lennox, "but in a great cause one must make a great effort."
"But the dangers grow thick as we approach Crown Point." "Not any thicker for me than for you." "To that I can make no reply. Dagaeoga is always ready with words." "But while I want to go on, I'm not in favor of taking any needless risks. I like to keep my scalp on top of my head, the place where it belongs, and so I bid you, Tayoga, use those keen eyes and ears of yours to the utmost."
We must make our blow so heavy that it will check Dieskau for a while and give Colonel Johnson's army time to march." "Even so, Dagaeoga. Look at the Mountain Wolf. He has a pair of field glasses and he is studying the island." Rogers stood on a knoll, and he was making diligent use of his glasses, excellent for the time. He took them from his eyes presently, and walked down to Robert and Tayoga.
All I ask is to put eyes on the lad again. It seems, when I think of it in cold blood, that it can scarce be true, Tayoga. You're sure you made no mistake about the footsteps?" "None, Great Bear. It is impossible. I know as truly that the living Dagaeoga stood on this hill six hours ago as I know that you stand before me now." "Then lead on, Tayoga, and we'll follow the trail of the rangers.
"You talk in hexameters, Tayoga, but I think your rhapsody is justified. I also have plenty of cause now to love the west wind. How long do you think it will be until we feel the dawn on our faces?" "Two hours, perhaps, but we may reach land before then. While I cannot smell the dawn I seem to perceive the odor of the forest. Now it grows stronger, and lo, Dagaeoga, there is another sign!
You have grown much in the last year or two. Your frame is filling out and you are bigger every way. Still, it is a fine coat, and the knee breeches, stockings and buckled shoes are very splendid. If Dagaeoga does not look like a chief it is only because he is not old enough, and he at least looks like the son of a chief." Robert contemplated himself in a small mirror with much satisfaction.
"That's good philosophy, Tayoga, though I'm bound to say I can't look upon my life as a thing mapped out for me in every detail, though I live to be a hundred. Manitou knows what's going to happen, but I don't, and so my heart will jump anyhow when the danger comes. Now, you're sure we've left no trail among those rocks?" "Not a trace, Dagaeoga.
But it was very peaceful and restful, and, while he lay in a half-dreamy state, he accumulated new strength for the crisis that might come. "Any little animals running away yet, Tayoga?" he asked, partly in jest. "No, Dagaeoga, but I am watching. Two rabbits not twenty feet from us are nibbling the leaves on a tiny weed, that is, they nibble part of the time, and part of the time they play."
