Snarling fangs greeted the click of the camera-shutter the fangs of wolf and lynx. But Kazan lay cringing, not through fear, but because he still recognized the mastery of man. And when he had finished with his pictures, Weyman approached almost within reach of him, and spoke even more kindly to him than the man who had lived back in the deserted cabin.
At Fond du Lac, when Weyman had first come up into the forest country, he had said to the factor: "It's glorious! It's God's Country!" And the factor had turned his tired, empty eyes upon him with the words: "It was before SHE went.
Weyman returns to the scene of his 'Gentleman of France, although his new heroes are of different mould. The book is full of adventure and characterized by a deeper study of character than its predecessor." "Mr. Weyman has quite topped his first success.... The author artfully pursues the line on which his happy initial venture was laid.
Weyman seized it firmly. "Don't kill them, Henri," he said. "Give them to me alive. Alive, they are worth to me a great deal. My God, a dog and a blind wolf mates!" He still held Henri's rifle, and Henri was staring at him, as if he did not yet quite understand. Weyman continued speaking, his eyes and face blazing. "A dog and a blind wolf mates!" he repeated.

"'The Red Cockade, a story of the French Revolution, shows, in the first place, careful study and deliberate, well-directed effort. Mr. Weyman ... has caught the spirit of the times.... The book is brimful of romantic incidents. It absorbs one's interest from the first page to the last; it depicts human character with truth, and it causes the good and brave to triumph.
Straight from Coronation Gulf. I ran ashore to cook a mess of prunes. While the water was boiling I came down here after a bear, and found YOU! My name is Philip Weyman; I haven't even an Indian with me, and there are three things in the world I'd trade that name for just now: One is pie, another is doughnuts, and the third "

Some of the most fascinating epochs in French history have been splendidly illuminated by his novels, which are to be reckoned among the notable successes of later nineteenth-century fiction.
"Perhaps it will mean that to-morrow, or the next day, or the day after that M'sieur Weyman will know the secret we are keeping from him now, and will fight shoulder to shoulder with Jean Jacques Croisset in a fight that the wilderness will remember so long as there are tongues to tell of it!" There was nothing of boastfulness or of excitement in his words.
