Infuriated
at
the
self-command
of
the
captive
,
the
woman
placed
her
arms
akimbo
;
and
throwing
herself
into
a
posture
of
defiance
,
she
broke
out
anew
,
in
a
torrent
of
words
that
no
art
of
ours
could
commit
successfully
to
paper
.
Her
breath
was
,
however
,
expended
in
vain
;
for
,
although
distinguished
in
her
own
nation
as
a
proficient
in
the
art
of
abuse
,
she
was
permitted
to
work
herself
into
such
a
fury
as
actually
to
foam
at
the
mouth
,
without
causing
a
muscle
to
vibrate
in
the
motionless
figure
of
the
stranger
.
The
effect
of
his
indifference
began
to
extend
itself
to
the
other
spectators
;
and
a
youngster
,
who
was
just
quitting
the
condition
of
a
boy
,
to
enter
the
state
of
manhood
,
attempted
to
assist
the
termagant
,
by
flourishing
his
tomahawk
before
their
victim
,
and
adding
his
empty
boasts
to
the
taunts
of
the
woman
.
Then
,
indeed
,
the
captive
turned
his
face
towards
the
light
,
and
looked
down
on
the
stripling
with
an
expression
that
was
superior
to
contempt
.
At
the
next
moment
he
resumed
his
quiet
and
reclining
attitude
against
the
post
.
But
the
change
of
posture
had
permitted
Duncan
to
exchange
glances
with
the
firm
and
piercing
eyes
of
Uncas
.
Breathless
with
amazement
,
and
heavily
oppressed
with
the
critical
situation
of
his
friend
,
Heyward
recoiled
before
the
look
,
trembling
lest
its
meaning
might
,
in
some
unknown
manner
,
hasten
the
prisoner
's
fate
.
There
was
not
,
however
,
any
instant
cause
for
such
an
apprehension
.
Just
then
a
warrior
forced
his
way
into
the
exasperated
crowd
.
Motioning
the
women
and
children
aside
with
a
stern
gesture
,
he
took
Uncas
by
the
arm
,
and
led
him
towards
the
door
of
the
council
lodge
.
Thither
all
the
chiefs
,
and
most
of
the
distinguished
warriors
,
followed
;
among
whom
the
anxious
Heyward
found
means
to
enter
without
attracting
any
dangerous
attention
to
himself
.
A
few
minutes
were
consumed
in
disposing
of
those
present
in
a
manner
suitable
to
their
rank
and
influence
in
the
tribe
.
An
order
very
similar
to
that
adopted
in
the
preceding
interview
was
observed
;
the
aged
and
superior
chiefs
occupying
the
area
of
the
spacious
apartment
,
within
the
powerful
light
of
a
glaring
torch
,
while
their
juniors
and
inferiors
were
arranged
in
the
background
,
presenting
a
dark
outline
of
swarthy
and
marked
visages
.
In
the
very
centre
of
the
lodge
,
immediately
under
an
opening
that
admitted
the
twinkling
light
of
one
or
two
stars
,
stood
Uncas
,
calm
,
elevated
,
and
collected
.
His
high
and
haughty
carriage
was
not
lost
on
his
captors
,
who
often
bent
their
looks
on
his
person
,
with
eyes
which
,
while
they
lost
none
of
their
inflexibility
of
purpose
,
plainly
betrayed
their
admiration
of
the
stranger
's
daring
.
The
case
was
different
with
the
individual
whom
Duncan
had
observed
to
stand
forth
with
his
friend
,
previously
to
the
desperate
trial
of
speed
;
and
who
,
instead
of
joining
in
the
chase
,
had
remained
,
throughout
its
turbulent
uproar
,
like
a
cringing
statue
,
expressive
of
shame
and
disgrace
.
Though
not
a
hand
had
been
extended
to
greet
him
,
nor
yet
an
eye
had
condescended
to
watch
his
movements
,
he
had
also
entered
the
lodge
,
as
though
impelled
by
a
fate
to
whose
decrees
he
submitted
,
seemingly
,
without
a
struggle
.
Heyward
profited
by
the
first
opportunity
to
gaze
in
his
face
,
secretly
apprehensive
he
might
find
the
features
of
another
acquaintance
;
but
they
proved
to
be
those
of
a
stranger
,
and
,
what
was
still
more
inexplicable
,
of
one
who
bore
all
the
distinctive
marks
of
a
Huron
warrior
.
Instead
of
mingling
with
his
tribe
,
however
,
he
sat
apart
,
a
solitary
being
in
a
multitude
,
his
form
shrinking
into
a
crouching
and
abject
attitude
,
as
if
anxious
to
fill
as
little
space
as
possible
.
When
each
individual
had
taken
his
proper
station
,
and
silence
reigned
in
the
place
,
the
gray-haired
chief
already
introduced
to
the
reader
,
spoke
aloud
,
in
the
language
of
the
Lenni
Lenape
.
"
Delaware
,
"
he
said
,
"
though
one
of
a
nation
of
women
,
you
have
proved
yourself
a
man
.
I
would
give
you
food
;
but
he
who
eats
with
a
Huron
should
become
his
friend
.
Rest
in
peace
till
the
morning
sun
,
when
our
last
words
shall
be
spoken
.
"
"
Seven
nights
,
and
as
many
summer
days
,
have
I
fasted
on
the
trail
of
the
Hurons
,
"
Uncas
coldly
replied
;
"
the
children
of
the
Lenape
know
how
to
travel
the
path
of
the
just
without
lingering
to
eat
.
"
"
Two
of
my
young
men
are
in
pursuit
of
your
companion
,
"
resumed
the
other
,
without
appearing
to
regard
the
boast
of
his
captive
;
"
when
they
get
back
,
then
will
our
wise
men
say
to
you
'
live
'
or
'
die
.
'
"
"
Has
a
Huron
no
ears
?
"
scornfully
exclaimed
Uncas
;
"
twice
,
since
he
has
been
your
prisoner
,
has
the
Delaware
heard
a
gun
that
he
knows
.
Your
young
men
will
never
come
back
!
"
