The
old
man
made
a
gesture
of
resignation
,
though
his
rigid
features
still
betrayed
his
obstinate
adherence
to
a
distrust
,
which
he
derived
from
a
sort
of
hereditary
contempt
of
his
enemy
,
rather
than
from
any
present
signs
which
might
warrant
so
uncharitable
a
feeling
.
Montcalm
waited
patiently
until
this
little
dialogue
in
demi-voice
was
ended
,
when
he
drew
nigher
,
and
opened
the
subject
of
their
conference
.
"
I
have
solicited
this
interview
from
your
superior
,
monsieur
,
"
he
said
,
"
because
I
believe
he
will
allow
himself
to
be
persuaded
that
he
has
already
done
everything
which
is
necessary
for
the
honor
of
his
prince
,
and
will
not
listen
to
the
admonitions
of
humanity
.
I
will
forever
bear
testimony
that
his
resistance
has
been
gallant
,
and
was
continued
as
long
as
there
was
hope
.
"
When
this
opening
was
translated
to
Munro
,
he
answered
with
dignity
,
but
with
sufficient
courtesy
--
"
However
I
may
prize
such
testimony
from
Monsieur
Montcalm
,
it
will
be
more
valuable
when
it
shall
be
better
merited
.
"
The
French
general
smiled
,
as
Duncan
gave
him
the
purport
of
this
reply
,
and
observed
--
"
What
is
now
so
freely
accorded
to
approved
courage
,
may
be
refused
to
useless
obstinacy
.
Monsieur
would
wish
to
see
my
camp
,
and
witness
,
for
himself
,
our
numbers
,
and
the
impossibility
of
his
resisting
them
,
with
success
?
"
"
I
know
that
the
king
of
France
is
well
served
,
"
returned
the
unmoved
Scotsman
,
as
soon
as
Duncan
ended
his
translation
;
"
but
my
own
royal
master
has
as
many
and
as
faithful
troops
.
"
"
Though
not
at
hand
,
fortunately
for
us
,
"
said
Montcalm
,
without
waiting
,
in
his
ardor
,
for
the
interpreter
.
"
There
is
a
destiny
in
war
,
to
which
a
brave
man
knows
how
to
submit
,
with
the
same
courage
that
he
faces
his
foes
.
"
"
Had
I
been
conscious
that
Monsieur
Montcalm
was
master
of
the
English
,
I
should
have
spared
myself
the
trouble
of
so
awkward
a
translation
,
"
said
the
vexed
Duncan
,
dryly
;
remembering
instantly
his
recent
by-play
with
Munro
.
