Following them up, we came, while clinging to an overhanging ledge of rock, upon one solitary gentleman standing about 150 yards below. We both fired together, but the pace we had come, and the ground we had crossed, had unsteadied our aim, and though my second bullet parted the wool on his back, it was not written that our first markore was to fall so easily.
I made an effort to move to speak in vain! I thought some sudden illness must have seized me yet no! for the half-swooning feeling that had for a moment unsteadied my nerves had already passed and I was calm enough.
"Their surprise at our being here is so great that it has unsteadied them. Now they are about to open fire!" The front of the charging French burst into flame and the bullets sang in the scarlet ranks. Wolfe's army suddenly began to move forward, but still it did not fire, although the battle of the skirmishers on the flanks was rapidly increasing in ferocity.

In consequence of the strength of thy penances, thou art able, O highly blessed one, to burn, with thy eyes kindled with rage, the whole Earth with her mobile and immobile creatures! Hearing these words of Vasudeva, Gandhari said, 'It is even so, O Keshava, as thou sayest! My heart, burning in grief, has been unsteadied!
Heth give me the pleasure of dining with me, and Kerr, at the Arlington, perhaps, or wherever else you may prefer, on the first evening you can spare for deeds of mercy?"
