Something
like
this
I
had
heard
before
,
"
said
Cora
,
observing
that
he
paused
to
suppress
those
passions
which
began
to
burn
with
too
bright
a
flame
,
as
he
recalled
the
recollection
of
his
supposed
injuries
.
"
Was
it
the
fault
of
Le
Renard
that
his
head
was
not
made
of
rock
?
Who
gave
him
the
fire-water
?
who
made
him
a
villain
?
'
Twas
the
pale-faces
,
the
people
of
your
own
color
.
"
And
am
I
answerable
that
thoughtless
and
unprincipled
men
exist
,
whose
shades
of
countenance
may
resemble
mine
?
"
Cora
calmly
demanded
of
the
excited
savage
.
"
No
;
Magua
is
a
man
,
and
not
a
fool
;
such
as
you
never
open
their
lips
to
the
burning
stream
:
the
Great
Spirit
has
given
you
wisdom
!
"
"
What
then
have
I
to
do
,
or
say
,
in
the
matter
of
your
misfortunes
,
not
to
say
of
your
errors
?
"
"
Listen
,
"
repeated
the
Indian
,
resuming
his
earnest
attitude
;
"
when
his
English
and
French
fathers
dug
up
the
hatchet
,
Le
Renard
struck
the
war-post
of
the
Mohawks
,
and
went
out
against
his
own
nation
.
The
pale-faces
have
driven
the
redskins
from
their
hunting-grounds
,
and
now
when
they
fight
,
a
white
man
leads
the
way
.
The
old
chief
at
Horican
,
your
father
,
was
the
great
captain
of
our
war-party
.
He
said
to
the
Mohawks
do
this
,
and
do
that
,
and
he
was
minded
.
He
made
a
law
,
that
if
an
Indian
swallowed
the
fire-water
,
and
came
into
the
cloth
wigwams
of
his
warriors
,
it
should
not
be
forgotten
.
Magua
foolishly
opened
his
mouth
,
and
the
hot
liquor
led
him
into
the
cabin
of
Munro
.
What
did
the
gray-head
?
let
his
daughter
say
.
"
"
He
forgot
not
his
words
,
and
did
justice
by
punishing
the
offender
,
"
said
the
undaunted
daughter
.
"
Justice
!
"
repeated
the
Indian
,
casting
an
oblique
glance
of
the
most
ferocious
expression
at
her
unyielding
countenance
;
"
is
it
justice
to
make
evil
,
and
then
punish
for
it
?
Magua
was
not
himself
;
it
was
the
fire-water
that
spoke
and
acted
for
him
!
but
Munro
did
not
believe
it
.
The
Huron
chief
was
tied
up
before
all
the
pale-faced
warriors
,
and
whipped
like
a
dog
.
"
Cora
remained
silent
,
for
she
knew
not
how
to
palliate
this
imprudent
severity
on
the
part
of
her
father
,
in
a
manner
to
suit
the
comprehension
of
an
Indian
.
