A
general
movement
among
the
domestics
,
and
a
low
sound
of
gentle
voices
,
announced
the
approach
of
those
whose
presence
alone
was
wanted
to
enable
the
cavalcade
to
move
.
The
simple
admirer
of
the
war-horse
instantly
fell
back
to
a
low
,
gaunt
,
switch-tailed
mare
,
that
was
unconsciously
gleaning
the
faded
herbage
of
the
camp
nigh
by
;
where
,
leaning
with
one
elbow
on
the
blanket
that
concealed
an
apology
for
a
saddle
,
he
became
a
spectator
of
the
departure
,
while
a
foal
was
quietly
making
its
morning
repast
,
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
same
animal
.
A
young
man
,
in
the
dress
of
an
officer
,
conducted
to
their
steeds
two
females
,
who
,
as
it
was
apparent
by
their
dresses
,
were
prepared
to
encounter
the
fatigues
of
a
journey
in
the
woods
.
One
,
and
she
was
the
most
juvenile
in
her
appearance
,
though
both
were
young
,
permitted
glimpses
of
her
dazzling
complexion
,
fair
golden
hair
,
and
bright
blue
eyes
,
to
be
caught
,
as
she
artlessly
suffered
the
morning
air
to
blow
aside
the
green
veil
which
descended
low
from
her
beaver
.
The
flush
which
still
lingered
above
the
pines
in
the
western
sky
was
not
more
bright
nor
delicate
than
the
bloom
on
her
cheek
;
nor
was
the
opening
day
more
cheering
than
the
animated
smile
which
she
bestowed
on
the
youth
,
as
he
assisted
her
into
the
saddle
.
The
other
,
who
appeared
to
share
equally
in
the
attentions
of
the
young
officer
,
concealed
her
charms
from
the
gaze
of
the
soldiery
,
with
a
care
that
seemed
better
fitted
to
the
experience
of
four
or
five
additional
years
.
It
could
be
seen
,
however
,
that
her
person
,
though
moulded
with
the
same
exquisite
proportions
,
of
which
none
of
the
graces
were
lost
by
the
travelling
dress
she
wore
,
was
rather
fuller
and
more
mature
than
that
of
her
companion
.
No
sooner
were
these
females
seated
,
than
their
attendant
sprang
lightly
into
the
saddle
of
the
war-horse
,
when
the
whole
three
bowed
to
Webb
,
who
,
in
courtesy
,
awaited
their
parting
on
the
threshold
of
his
cabin
,
and
turning
their
horses
'
heads
,
they
proceeded
at
a
slow
amble
,
followed
by
their
train
,
towards
the
northern
entrance
of
the
encampment
.
As
they
traversed
that
short
distance
,
not
a
voice
was
heard
amongst
them
;
but
a
slight
exclamation
proceeded
from
the
younger
of
the
females
,
as
the
Indian
runner
glided
by
her
,
unexpectedly
,
and
led
the
way
along
the
military
road
in
her
front
.
Though
this
sudden
and
startling
movement
of
the
Indian
produced
no
sound
from
the
other
,
in
the
surprise
her
veil
also
was
allowed
to
open
its
folds
,
and
betrayed
an
indescribable
look
of
pity
,
admiration
,
and
horror
,
as
her
dark
eye
followed
the
easy
motions
of
the
savage
.
The
tresses
of
this
lady
were
shining
and
black
,
like
the
plumage
of
the
raven
.
Her
complexion
was
not
brown
,
but
it
rather
appeared
charged
with
the
color
of
the
rich
blood
,
that
seemed
ready
to
burst
its
bounds
.
And
yet
there
was
neither
coarseness
nor
want
of
shadowing
in
a
countenance
that
was
exquisitely
regular
and
dignified
,
and
surpassingly
beautiful
She
smiled
,
as
if
in
pity
at
her
own
momentary
forgetfulness
,
discovering
by
the
act
a
row
of
teeth
that
would
have
shamed
the
purest
ivory
;
when
,
replacing
the
veil
,
she
bowed
her
face
,
and
rode
in
silence
,
like
one
whose
thoughts
were
abstracted
from
the
scene
around
her
.
"
Sola
,
sola
,
wo
,
ha
,
ho
,
sola
!
"
Shakespeare
.
While
one
of
the
lovely
beings
we
have
so
cursorily
presented
to
the
reader
was
thus
lost
in
thought
,
the
other
quickly
recovered
from
the
alarm
which
induced
the
exclamation
,
and
,
laughing
at
her
own
weakness
,
she
inquired
of
the
youth
who
rode
by
her
side
--
"
Are
such
spectres
frequent
in
the
woods
,
Heyward
;
or
is
this
sight
an
especial
entertainment
on
our
behalf
?
If
the
latter
,
gratitude
must
close
our
mouths
;
but
if
the
former
,
both
Cora
and
I
shall
have
need
to
draw
largely
on
that
stock
of
hereditary
courage
which
we
boast
,
even
before
we
are
made
to
encounter
the
redoubtable
Montcalm
.
"
"
Yon
Indian
is
a
'
runner
'
of
the
army
;
and
,
after
the
fashion
of
his
people
,
he
may
be
accounted
a
hero
,
"
returned
the
officer
.
"
He
has
volunteered
to
guide
us
to
the
lake
,
by
a
path
but
little
known
,
sooner
than
if
we
followed
the
tardy
movements
of
the
column
:
and
,
by
consequence
,
more
agreeably
.
"
