Three feints were to be made at different points while the real attack was to be driven home at Cape Diamond. But just after this decision had been reached two rebel Montrealers came down and, in another debate, carried the day for another plan. These men, Antell and Price, were really responsible for the final plan, which, like its predecessor, did not meet with Montgomery's approval.
"It was through this lane that Arnold's party advanced almost to the foot of Mountain Street, where they were to be joined by Montgomery's force in an attempt to surprise Prescott Gate," said the colonel, with his unerring second-hand history. "'You that will follow me to this attempt, 'Wait till you see the whites of their eyes, and then fire low, and so forth.
He is looking upon a picture perhaps fairer, perhaps less fair, as circumstances may suggest, but depend upon it, he is lost to all outward surroundings." The words had no sooner escaped Jennie Montgomery's lips than she regretted them, but happily her remarks did not take deep root in the minds of her girl companions.
She alluded vaguely to violence and to force; Montgomery's face darkened and he protested against his friend's conduct. To Kate it was consoling to meet someone who thought she was not entirely to blame, and the conversation came to a pause. 'And now I'm going about the country with you all, and am thinking of going on the stage. 'And will be a success, too that I'll bet my life.

"I have studied the cargo-lists and plans of the holds, sir." Cartwright nodded. "We'll find out presently if my notion how the boat was lost is accurate," The cargo's another thing.
But first she attended to what was properly Montgomery's part of the evening's chores, stalling the cow and throwing into her manger the scanty supply of night fodder that could be afforded. Then she sat down to milk, and accomplished that operation so slowly that Whitey turned her head as far as the stanchions would permit to see what this slowness meant.

The skipper, no doubt, expects Montgomery's got a few hogsheads of oil, and it's possible he'll sell us some coal. The parcels-vanners are pretty keen to trade."
