Duncan
bowed
low
,
pleased
with
the
compliment
,
in
spite
of
a
most
heroic
determination
to
suffer
no
artifice
to
allure
him
into
forgetfulness
of
the
interest
of
his
prince
;
and
Montcalm
,
after
a
pause
of
a
moment
,
as
if
to
recollect
his
thoughts
,
proceeded
--
"
Your
commandant
is
a
brave
man
,
and
well
qualified
to
repel
my
assault
.
Mais
,
monsieur
,
is
it
not
time
to
begin
to
take
more
counsel
of
humanity
,
and
less
of
your
courage
?
The
one
as
strongly
characterizes
the
hero
as
the
other
.
"
"
We
consider
the
qualities
as
inseparable
,
"
returned
Duncan
,
smiling
;
"
but
while
we
find
in
the
vigor
of
your
excellency
every
motive
to
stimulate
the
one
,
we
can
,
as
yet
,
see
no
particular
call
for
the
exercise
of
the
other
.
"
Montcalm
,
in
his
turn
,
slightly
bowed
,
but
it
was
with
the
air
of
a
man
too
practised
to
remember
the
language
of
flattery
.
After
musing
a
moment
,
he
added
--
"
It
is
possible
my
glasses
have
deceived
me
,
and
that
your
works
resist
our
cannon
better
than
I
had
supposed
.
You
know
our
force
?
"
"
Our
accounts
vary
,
"
said
Duncan
,
carelessly
;
"
the
highest
,
however
,
has
not
exceeded
twenty
thousand
men
.
"
The
Frenchman
bit
his
lip
,
and
fastened
his
eyes
keenly
on
the
other
as
if
to
read
his
thoughts
;
then
,
with
a
readiness
peculiar
to
himself
,
he
continued
,
as
if
assenting
to
the
truth
of
an
enumeration
which
quite
doubled
his
army
--
"
It
is
a
poor
compliment
to
the
vigilance
of
us
soldiers
,
monsieur
,
that
,
do
what
we
will
,
we
never
can
conceal
our
numbers
.
If
it
were
to
be
done
at
all
,
one
would
believe
it
might
succeed
in
these
woods
.
Though
you
think
it
too
soon
to
listen
to
the
calls
of
humanity
,
"
he
added
,
smiling
archly
,
"
I
may
be
permitted
to
believe
that
gallantry
is
not
forgotten
by
one
so
young
as
yourself
.
The
daughters
of
the
commandant
,
I
learn
,
have
passed
into
the
fort
since
it
was
invested
?
"
"
It
is
true
,
monsieur
;
but
,
so
far
from
weakening
our
efforts
,
they
set
us
an
example
of
courage
in
their
own
fortitude
.
Were
nothing
but
resolution
necessary
to
repel
so
accomplished
a
soldier
as
M.
de
Montcalm
,
I
would
gladly
trust
the
defence
of
William
Henry
to
the
elder
of
those
ladies
.
