Sally accepted his offering with the smile of gratitude which seemed always a sufficient reward for her many masculine admirers.
It was Champlain's reward that he saw Quebec once more under the fleur-de-lis, and was welcomed by the Indians with genuine emotion. The rhetorical gifts of the red man were among his chief endowments, and all that eloquence could lavish was poured forth in honour of Champlain at the council of the Hurons, who had come to Quebec for barter at the moment of his return.
"Brave damsel!" said Marmaduke, with emotion; "but your own safety the king's anger no besides a third, your dress not concealed, would create the warder's suspicion. Describe the house."

It was the cherished belief of these two loyal natures that the Marquis secretly devoted his fortune to the cause of the Bourbons; how, they knew not, though they often amused themselves by conjecturing: and, the young man, as he grew up, nursed the hope that he should soon hear that the descendant of Henri Quatre had crossed the frontier on a white charger and hoisted the old gonfalon with its 'fleur-de-lis. Then, indeed, his own career would be opened, and the sword of the Kerouecs drawn from its sheath.
I knew you were French on account of the fleur-de-lis on the end of your flagpole " "And ze button yess?" the old man urged, interrupting him. Tom told him the whole story of Frenchy and the Leteurs, and of how he had come by his little talisman. "I have fought in zat regiment," the old man said, "many years before you are born.
