As an old man he supported Napoleon ardently until the empire and the ambitions of the emperor became too swollen, and, while he mourned Waterloo, he told his son, General Robert Lennox de St. Luc, who distinguished himself so greatly there and who almost took the château of Hougoumont from the English, that it was for the best, and that it was inevitable. It was the comment of St.
However, as he had but a slight opinion of the sincerity of women, he persuaded himself that Mademoiselle de Luc d'Estrelles, when she came to offer him her heart and hand, nevertheless knew he was not altogether a despicable match for her.
"Sound reasoning," said the hunter, "and we'll watch for the trail of both St. Luc and the Ojibway. And now, lads, with eyes and ears open, we'll make speed." And northward they went at a great rate, watching on all sides for the perils that were never absent from the woods and peaks. True to the predictions of Tayoga, they struck the trail of St.
"That is right well said, if the Devil said it!" remarked La Corne St. Luc, to the Acadian sitting next him. "There is bell-metal in Bigot, and he rings well if properly struck. Pity so clever a fellow should be a knave!" "Fine words butter no parsnips, Chevalier La Corne," replied the Acadian, whom no eloquence could soften. "Bigot sold Louisbourg!"
His answer was that he had been sent "to view the Country" and that he intended to return to Hudson Bay in the spring. The Frenchmen were sorry that their own master, who was apparently the well-known Canadian leader, St. Luc de la Corne, the successor of Saint-Pierre, had gone to Montreal with furs, and added their regrets that they must detain Hendry until this leader's return.
He will not die?" "No, he will not die," replied Willet. "The Marquis de Clermont can receive a greater wound than that, and yet live and flourish." "The Marquis de Clermont!" "Aye, the Chevalier de St. Luc is head of one of the greatest families of France and you're his next of kin." "And so I'm half a Frenchman!" "Aye, half a Frenchman, half an Englishman, and all an American."
Luc, recovering his composure; "but when I think of Bigot in the past, how can I but mistrust him in the present? However, be the girl above ground or under ground, I will, par Dieu, not leave a stone unturned in New France until I find the lost child of my old friend! La Corne St. Luc pledges himself to that, and he never broke his word!"
"He is well supported, is he not?" "Sire, M. de Bussy, firm as he is, cannot make your brother brave." "Ah! he trembles, then, the rebel." "Let me go and shake St. Luc's hand," said Chicot, advancing. The king followed him, and going up to his old favorite, and laying his hand on his shoulder, said, "You are welcome, St. Luc!" "Ah! sire," cried St.
If caught you will be executed as a spy." "I'm not afraid," replied the eyes of St. Luc. "You alone have seen me as I am." "But others will see you." "I think not." "How do you know that I will not proclaim at once who you are?" "You will not because you do not wish to see me hanged or shot." Then the eyes of St.
"It is quite evident," said Robert, as they talked, "that we must follow on the trail of St. Luc. We've settled in our minds that he wants to keep our people busy along Lake George, while Montcalm fortifies higher up. Then it's our duty to find out what he's doing and stop it if we can." All were in agreement upon the point, even Grosvenor, who did not yet feel at home in the woods.
