"I mean this," she went on; "Mr. Dunster was a very disagreeable man personally and papa we none of us liked him; but he was quite honest please remember that." The canon bowed, and said a few acquiescing words. He waited for her to speak again. "Miss Monro says she is going to see Dixon in " "Oh, Mr. Livingstone, I can't bear it!"
'It's horrid, and one thing's certain, I won't have that man staring at me! cried Vava impulsively, jumping up, and mounting on a chair in order to take down a large portrait of a stolid-faced policeman. 'Vava, come down and leave it alone! What can you be thinking of? That is the landlady's husband, no doubt. Mrs. Monro said he was a policeman, and so we should be safe with him.
Meanwhile the British were at the other end of Lake George, little more than thirty miles away. Their first post was Fort William Henry, where they had 2,200 men under Colonel Monro. Fourteen miles inland beyond that was Fort Edward, where Webb commanded 3,600 men.
He, the landlord, and I, were sitting in three chairs near the fire, and in the corner of the great chimney there were two islanders, who were that very night come to the house, and were related to the landlord.

Corbet became aware of Mr. Wilkins's increasing confusion of ideas, and rather unnatural merriment; and, with a sudden revulsion from admiration to disgust, he rose up to go into the library, where Ellinor and Miss Monro were sitting. Mr. Wilkins accompanied him, laughing and talking somewhat loudly. Was Ellinor aware of her father's state? Of that Mr. Corbet could not be sure.
