The consequence was that the American flotilla was not discovered until Valcour Island, which is from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and eighty feet high throughout its two miles of length, was so far passed that the attack had to be made from the south, from leeward.
When the detective, after the Callenders were gone up-stairs and the captains had galloped away, truthfully told Miss Valcour that his only object in tarrying here was to see the love-knot tied, she heard him affably, though inwardly in flames of yearning to see him depart.
Callender replied, "and Flora and Charlie Valcour!" as if that were the gleefulest good luck of all. Captain Irby, strong, shapely, well clad, auburn-haired, left his halted command and came into the carriage group, while from the train approached his cousin and the lithe and picturesque Miss Valcour.

She greeted Flora with a welcoming beam, but before speaking she caught her sister's arm and glanced herself, at the superscription. "Flora!" she softly cried, "oh, Flora Valcour! has your brother your Charlie! come home alive and well? What; no? No, he has not?"
You ask how the Valcour ladies, living outwardly so like the most of us who are neither scamps nor saints, could live by moral standards so different from those we have always thought essential to serenity of brow, sweetness of bloom or blitheness of companionship, and yet could live so prettily remain so winsome and unscarred.
"Dearest and best of women! By God's grace I shall soon call you mine!" Louis took up the oars and pulled with energy in the direction of Valcour.

This author, whose real name was Gustave Rameau, but who, to prove, I suppose, the sincerity of that scorn for ancestry which he professed, published his verses under the patrician designation of Alphonse de Valcour, was about twenty-four, and might have passed at the first glance for younger; but, looking at him closely, the signs of old age were already stamped on his visage.
