The
privilege
of
chase
may
claim
;
Though
space
and
law
the
stag
we
lend
Ere
hound
we
slip
,
or
bow
we
bend
;
Who
ever
recked
,
where
,
how
,
or
when
The
prowling
fox
was
trapped
or
slain
?
"
Lady
of
the
Lake
.
It
is
unusual
to
find
an
encampment
of
the
natives
,
like
those
of
the
more
instructed
whites
,
guarded
by
the
presence
of
armed
men
.
Well
informed
of
the
approach
of
every
danger
,
while
it
is
yet
at
a
distance
,
the
Indian
generally
rests
secure
under
his
knowledge
of
the
signs
of
the
forest
,
and
the
long
and
difficult
paths
that
separate
him
from
those
he
has
most
reason
to
dread
.
But
the
enemy
who
,
by
any
lucky
concurrence
of
accidents
,
has
found
means
to
elude
the
vigilance
of
the
scouts
,
will
seldom
meet
with
sentinels
nearer
home
to
sound
the
alarm
.
In
addition
to
this
general
usage
,
the
tribes
friendly
to
the
French
knew
too
well
the
weight
of
the
blow
that
had
just
been
struck
,
to
apprehend
any
immediate
danger
from
the
hostile
nations
that
were
tributary
to
the
crown
of
Britain
.
When
Duncan
and
David
,
therefore
,
found
themselves
in
the
centre
of
the
children
,
who
played
the
antics
already
mentioned
,
it
was
with
the
least
previous
intimation
of
their
approach
.
But
so
soon
as
they
were
observed
,
the
whole
of
the
juvenile
pack
raised
,
by
common
consent
,
a
shrill
and
warning
whoop
;
and
then
sank
,
as
it
were
,
by
magic
,
from
before
the
sight
of
their
visitors
.
The
naked
,
tawny
bodies
of
the
crouching
urchins
blended
so
nicely
,
at
that
hour
,
with
the
withered
herbage
,
that
at
first
it
seemed
as
if
the
earth
had
,
in
truth
,
swallowed
up
their
forms
;
though
when
surprise
permitted
Duncan
to
bend
his
look
more
curiously
about
the
spot
,
he
found
it
everywhere
met
by
dark
,
quick
,
and
rolling
eyeballs
.
Gathering
no
encouragement
from
this
startling
presage
of
the
nature
of
the
scrutiny
he
was
likely
to
undergo
from
the
more
mature
judgments
of
the
men
,
there
was
an
instant
when
the
young
soldier
would
have
retreated
.
It
was
,
however
,
too
late
to
appear
to
hesitate
.
The
cry
of
the
children
had
drawn
a
dozen
warriors
to
the
door
of
the
nearest
lodge
,
where
they
stood
clustered
in
a
dark
and
savage
group
,
gravely
awaiting
the
nearer
approach
of
those
who
had
unexpectedly
come
among
them
.
