He moves on again, and, ah! here he goes into the woods. Beyond question he is now engaged in planting an ambush for those who would follow St. Luc. Shall we go back, Great Bear, or shall we meet the Ojibway's ambush with an ambush of our own?" The black eyes of the Onondaga sparkled. "We ought to turn back," replied Willet, "but I can't resist playing Tandakora's own game with him.
Suppose that Dagaeoga and I paddle, and that the Great Bear rests with his rifle across his knees ready to fire at the first flash. We know what a wonderful marksman the Great Bear is, and it may be Tandakora who will fall." "The plan, like most of yours, is good, Tayoga," said Willet. "The Lord has given me some skill with the rifle, and I have improved it with diligent practice.
Willet shrugged his shoulders. "In such a case as this where Tayoga is concerned," he said, "we don't suppose anything, we go by certainties. Before he left, Tayoga settled the day and the hour when he would return and it's not now a problem or a question. He has disposed of the subject." "I can't quite see it that way," said Wilton tenaciously.
Among the teamsters was a strong lad named Daniel Boone destined to immortality as the most famous of all pioneers. Robert, Willet and Tayoga could have had horses to ride, but against the protests of Grosvenor and their other new English friends they declined them. They knew that they could scout along the flanks of an army far better on foot.
"You come, so I am told, from the Governor of New York," he said, "and judging from what I have heard he has chosen messengers who are able to make a stir. Two days in Quebec and already you have fought two duels, one of them ending fatally." "My lord," said Willet, gravely, "they were not of our seeking." "That also, I hear. They tell me, too, Mr.
Willet walked briskly up the high stone steps and thundered on the door with a heavy brass knocker. The summons was quickly answered and the door swung back, revealing a tall, thin, elderly man, neatly dressed in the fashion of the time. He had the manner of one who served, although he did not seem to be a servant.
Yes, in spite of every danger that had been thrown across their path, they would be able to carry word in time. "We'll be there in half an hour, and we'll know what's going forward," said Willet. "We'll know before then," said Grosvenor confidently. "Our marvelous Indian friend here will tell us when we're half way."
Now what can he want!" he exclaimed. "We'll soon see," replied Willet. "He's within good hearing now, and I'll hail him." He shouted in powerful tones that echoed in the gorge: "Below there! What is it?" "I have something to say that will be of great importance to you," replied De Galissonnière. "Then come forward, while we remain here. We don't trust your allies."
Ashton spoke highly of him." "His work speaks for him," said Mr. Willet. "The whole place is in beautiful order." "Yes, it has always been the pride of its owner, and admiration of the neighbourhood. I don't know how Mr. Ashton could make up his mind to part with it." "I am certainly much obliged to him for yielding it to me," said Mr. Willet. "I regard myself as particularly fortunate.
There they stood, staring at the scarlet ranks, drawn up in battle before them, unable to credit their eyes at first, many of them believing for the moment that it was some vision of the cloudy dawn. "I think that Montcalm's army will soon come," said Willet to Robert. "You see, we're literally between three fires.
