The triumph of the rangers and the Mohawks, although not complete, was large, as at least one-third of St. Luc's force was slain, and the three leaders alike were eager to make it yet larger, having in mind that in some way they could yet reach the French and Indian force on the island.
Jeanne threw herself at his feet. "Rise, madame," said he, "I love all that bear the name of St. Luc." Jeanne took his hand and kissed it, but he withdrew it quickly. "You must convert the king," said Chicot to the young woman, "you are pretty enough for it." But Henri turned his back to her, and passing his arm round St. Luc's neck, said, "Then we have made peace, St. Luc?"
"You must be right, and we're swimming slowly, too, to avoid any splashing of the water that would alarm St. Luc's sentinels. At what point do you think we'll approach the island, Tayoga?" "From the north, because if they are expecting us at all they will look for us from the west. See, Daganoweda already leads in the curve toward the north." "It's so, Tayoga.
Robert knew his intense hatred of the French and their red allies, and he also knew his fierce courage and great ability in battle. The soldiers looked in some alarm at the painted host that had sprung among them, but Willet and Robert assured them insistently that these were friends, and the sound of the battle they were already waging on the flank with St. Luc's force, was proof enough.
I saw for the first time that your parents' separation had the effect of saddening your heart at that epoch. It is that which perverted your character.... And I read in advance Luc's history in yours.... Listen, Boleslas! I speak to you as I would speak before God!

"Shall we advance and attack St. Luc's force tonight?" said Willet, turning to Rogers. "I think it would be best," replied the Mountain Wolf. "A surprise is possible tonight only.

By sundown we'll know what it means." "And that's only about two hours away," said Captain Colden. "Whatever happens we'll hold out to the last.
