On
the
other
hand
,
Heyward
began
to
throw
sundry
inducements
in
the
way
of
the
French
general
,
to
betray
the
discoveries
he
had
made
through
the
intercepted
letter
.
The
artifice
of
neither
,
however
,
succeeded
;
and
after
a
protracted
and
fruitless
interview
,
Duncan
took
his
leave
,
favorably
impressed
with
an
opinion
of
the
courtesy
and
talents
of
the
enemy
's
captain
,
but
as
ignorant
of
what
he
came
to
learn
as
when
he
arrived
.
Montcalm
followed
him
as
far
as
the
entrance
of
the
marquee
,
renewing
his
invitations
to
the
commandant
of
the
fort
to
give
him
an
immediate
meeting
in
the
open
ground
,
between
the
two
armies
.
There
they
separated
,
and
Duncan
returned
to
the
advanced
post
of
the
French
,
accompanied
as
before
;
whence
he
instantly
proceeded
to
the
fort
,
and
to
the
quarters
of
his
own
commander
.

Major
Heyward
found
Munro
attended
only
by
his
daughters
.
Alice
sat
upon
his
knee
,
parting
the
gray
hairs
on
the
forehead
of
the
old
man
with
her
delicate
fingers
;
and
,
whenever
he
affected
to
frown
on
her
trifling
,
appeasing
his
assumed
anger
by
pressing
her
ruby
lips
fondly
on
his
wrinkled
brow
.
Cora
was
seated
nigh
them
,
a
calm
and
amused
looker-on
;
regarding
the
wayward
movements
of
her
more
youthful
sister
,
with
that
species
of
maternal
fondness
which
characterized
her
love
for
Alice
.
Not
only
the
dangers
through
which
they
had
passed
,
but
those
which
still
impended
above
them
,
appeared
to
be
momentarily
forgotten
,
in
the
soothing
indulgence
of
such
a
family
meeting
.
It
seemed
as
if
they
had
profited
by
the
short
truce
,
to
devote
an
instant
to
the
purest
and
best
affections
:
the
daughters
forgetting
their
fears
,
and
the
veteran
his
cares
,
in
the
security
of
the
moment
.
Of
this
scene
,
Duncan
,
who
in
his
eagerness
to
report
his
arrival
had
entered
unannounced
,
stood
many
moments
an
unobserved
and
a
delighted
spectator
.
But
the
quick
and
dancing
eyes
of
Alice
soon
caught
a
glimpse
of
his
figure
reflected
from
a
glass
,
and
she
sprang
blushing
from
her
father
's
knee
,
exclaiming
aloud
--
"
Major
Heyward
!
"
"
What
of
the
lad
?
"
demanded
the
father
;
"
I
have
sent
him
to
crack
a
little
with
the
Frenchman
.
Ha
!
sir
,
you
are
young
,
and
you
're
nimble
!
Away
with
you
,
ye
baggage
;
as
if
there
were
not
troubles
enough
for
a
soldier
,
without
having
his
camp
filled
with
such
prattling
hussies
as
yourself
!
"
Alice
laughingly
followed
her
sister
,
who
instantly
led
the
way
from
an
apartment
where
she
perceived
their
presence
was
no
longer
desirable
.
Munro
,
instead
of
demanding
the
result
of
the
young
man
's
mission
,
paced
the
room
for
a
few
moments
,
with
his
hands
behind
his
back
,
and
his
head
inclined
towards
the
floor
,
like
a
man
lost
in
thought
.
At
length
he
raised
his
eyes
,
glistening
with
a
father
's
fondness
,
and
exclaimed
--
"
They
are
a
pair
of
excellent
girls
,
Heyward
,
and
such
as
any
one
may
boast
of
.
