The
Delaware
,
whose
name
in
English
signified
"
Hard
Heart
,
"
an
appellation
that
the
French
had
translated
into
"
Le
Cœur-dur
,
"
forgot
the
obduracy
of
purpose
,
which
had
probably
obtained
him
so
significant
a
title
.
His
countenance
grew
very
sensibly
less
stern
,
and
now
deigned
to
answer
more
directly
.
"
There
have
been
strange
moccasins
about
my
camp
.
They
have
been
tracked
into
my
lodges
.
"
"
Did
my
brother
beat
out
the
dogs
?
"
asked
Magua
,
without
adverting
in
any
manner
to
the
former
equivocation
of
the
chief
.
"
It
would
not
do
.
The
stranger
is
always
welcome
to
the
children
of
the
Lenape
.
"
"
The
stranger
,
but
not
the
spy
.
"
"
Would
the
Yengeese
send
their
women
as
spies
?
Did
not
the
Huron
chief
say
he
took
women
in
the
battle
?
"
"
He
told
no
lie
.
The
Yengeese
have
sent
out
their
scouts
.
They
have
been
in
my
wigwams
,
but
they
found
there
no
one
to
say
welcome
.
Then
they
fled
to
the
Delawares
--
for
,
say
they
,
the
Delawares
are
our
friends
;
their
minds
are
turned
from
their
Canada
father
!
"
This
insinuation
was
a
home
thrust
,
and
one
that
in
a
more
advanced
state
of
society
,
would
have
entitled
Magua
to
the
reputation
of
a
skilful
diplomatist
.
The
recent
defection
of
the
tribe
had
,
as
they
well
knew
themselves
,
subjected
the
Delawares
to
much
reproach
among
their
French
allies
;
and
they
were
now
made
to
feel
that
their
future
actions
were
to
be
regarded
with
jealousy
and
distrust
.
There
was
no
deep
insight
into
causes
and
effects
necessary
to
foresee
that
such
a
situation
of
things
was
likely
to
prove
highly
prejudicial
to
their
future
movements
.
Their
distant
villages
,
their
hunting-grounds
,
and
hundreds
of
their
women
and
children
,
together
with
a
material
part
of
their
physical
force
,
were
actually
within
the
limits
of
the
French
territory
.
Accordingly
,
this
alarming
annunciation
was
received
,
as
Magua
intended
,
with
manifest
disapprobation
,
if
not
with
alarm
.
"
Let
my
father
look
in
my
face
,
"
said
Le
Cœur-dur
;
"
he
will
see
no
change
.
It
is
true
,
my
young
men
did
not
go
out
on
the
war-path
;
they
had
dreams
for
not
doing
so
.
But
they
love
and
venerate
the
great
white
chief
.
