Stoughton, governor of Massachusetts, had written to the Abenakis, upbraiding them for breaking the peace, and ordering them to bring in their prisoners without delay. The Indians of Bigot's mission, that is to say, Bigot in their name, retorted by a letter to the last degree haughty and abusive.

The whole of this superb assembly was involuntarily drawn towards the declivity of the hill; with downcast eyes they all stood abashed, each upbraiding himself with the evil he had done; the heart of Dilara palpitated, and the chief of the eunuchs with a sigh of contrition implored pardon of the women, whom for his own satisfaction he had so often tormented.

"I knew you couldn't understand. You don't realize how impossible it is. I don't blame you I suppose a man can't." She was not upbraiding him, she spoke quietly, in a tone almost lifeless, yet the emotional effect of it was tremendous. "But," he began, and stopped, and was swept on again by an impulse that drowned all caution, all reason. "But you can help me when we are married."
By the intensity of her upbraiding she arrested the attention of Smith's enemies for a minute till, as if he revolted against his own weakness, one of them gave vent to a loud jest, at which the other laughed.
