She
did
,
indeed
,
"
said
the
old
man
,
"
and
dearly
did
she
pay
for
the
blessing
she
bestowed
.
But
she
is
a
saint
in
heaven
,
sir
;
and
it
ill
becomes
one
whose
foot
rests
on
the
grave
to
mourn
a
lot
so
blessed
.
I
had
her
but
a
single
year
,
though
;
a
short
term
of
happiness
for
one
who
had
seen
her
youth
fade
in
hopeless
pining
.
"
There
was
something
so
commanding
in
the
distress
of
the
old
man
,
that
Heyward
did
not
dare
to
venture
a
syllable
of
consolation
.
Munro
sat
utterly
unconscious
of
the
other
's
presence
,
his
features
exposed
and
working
with
the
anguish
of
his
regrets
,
while
heavy
tears
fell
from
his
eyes
,
and
rolled
unheeded
from
his
cheeks
to
the
floor
.
At
length
he
moved
,
as
if
suddenly
recovering
his
recollection
;
when
he
arose
,
and
taking
a
single
turn
across
the
room
,
he
approached
his
companion
with
an
air
of
military
grandeur
,
and
demanded
--
"
Have
you
not
,
Major
Heyward
,
some
communication
that
I
should
hear
from
the
Marquis
de
Montcalm
?
"
Duncan
started
,
in
his
turn
,
and
immediately
commenced
,
in
an
embarrassed
voice
,
the
half-forgotten
message
.
It
is
unnecessary
to
dwell
upon
the
evasive
,
though
polite
manner
,
with
which
the
French
general
had
eluded
every
attempt
of
Heyward
to
worm
from
him
the
purport
of
the
communication
he
had
proposed
making
,
or
on
the
decided
,
though
still
polished
message
,
by
which
he
now
gave
his
enemy
to
understand
,
that
unless
he
chose
to
receive
it
in
person
,
he
should
not
receive
it
at
all
.
As
Munro
listened
to
the
detail
of
Duncan
,
the
excited
feelings
of
the
father
gradually
gave
way
before
the
obligations
of
his
station
,
and
when
the
other
was
done
,
he
saw
before
him
nothing
but
the
veteran
,
swelling
with
the
wounded
feelings
of
a
soldier
.
"
You
have
said
enough
,
Major
Heyward
!
"
exclaimed
the
angry
old
man
:
"
enough
to
make
a
volume
of
commentary
on
French
civility
.
Here
has
this
gentleman
invited
me
to
a
conference
,
and
when
I
send
him
a
capable
substitute
,
for
ye
're
all
that
,
Duncan
,
though
your
years
are
but
few
,
he
answers
me
with
a
riddle
.
"
"
He
may
have
thought
less
favorably
of
the
substitute
,
my
dear
sir
;
and
you
will
remember
that
the
invitation
,
which
he
now
repeats
,
was
to
the
commandant
of
the
works
,
and
not
to
his
second
.
"
"
Well
,
sir
,
is
not
a
substitute
clothed
with
all
the
power
and
dignity
of
him
who
grants
the
commission
?
He
wishes
to
confer
with
Munro
!
Faith
,
sir
,
I
have
much
inclination
to
indulge
the
man
,
if
it
should
only
be
to
let
him
behold
the
firm
countenance
we
maintain
in
spite
of
his
numbers
and
his
summons
.
There
might
be
no
bad
policy
in
such
a
stroke
,
young
man
.
"
Duncan
,
who
believed
it
of
the
last
importance
that
they
should
speedily
come
at
the
contents
of
the
letter
borne
by
the
scout
,
gladly
encouraged
this
idea
.
"
Without
doubt
,
he
could
gather
no
confidence
by
witnessing
our
indifference
,
"
he
said
.
