"Well, you ought to be something better, and you must be." "I'll be anything you please, Betty; I'll be President, if you wish it." "No, thank you, I don't care in the least for Presidents." "Then I'll be a beggar, you like beggars." "You'll be just yourself, if you want to please me, Dan," she said earnestly. "You will be your best self neither the flattering Lightfoot, nor the rude Montjoy.
After that, with groping and smelling they came near to the faecal matter and the corrupted humours. Finally, they found a montjoy or heap of ordure and filth. Then fell the pioneers to work to dig it up, and the rest with their shovels filled the baskets; and when all was cleansed every one retired himself into his ball.
As he galloped along the turnpike on Prince Rupert, the travelling countrymen turned to look after him, and muttered that "dare-devil Jack Montjoy had risen from his grave if he had a grave." Once he met Betty at the gate, and catching her up before him, dashed with her as far as Aunt Ailsey's cabin and back again. "You are as light as a fly," he said with a laugh, "and not much bigger.

They first attempted to storm Montjoy, but were repulsed with great slaughter. They then besieged it, and by regular approaches compelled its capitulation in three weeks.
