27681Is he a son of Minquon?

27681My brother has said that a snake crept into my camp,said the chief to Magua;"which is he?"
27681My brother is a great medicine,said the cunning savage;"he will try?"
27681None is necessary,returned Cora;"who will dare to injure or insult the daughter of such a father, at a time like this?"

27681The stranger and the white maiden that came into my camp together?
27681They are coming, then? 27681 Think you so?"
27681Think you, Alice, that I would trust those I love by this secret path, did I imagine such need could happen?

27681We are then at no great distance from William Henry?
27681We are then on an island?
27681Well, boy,demanded the attentive scout,"what does it say?
27681Well, sir, is not a substitute clothed with all the power and dignity of him who grants the commission? 27681 Well, then, among the other things, you may know the name of its major?"

27681Why did you wish to stop my ears?
27681Why hast thou left us, pride of the Wapanachki?
27681Why should they not? 27681 Will a wise Delaware believe the barking of a wolf?"
27681Will he think so when he hears that his greatest enemy is fed in the camp of his children? 27681 Will the white man speak these words at the stake?"
27681Will this assist in explaining the difficulty?
27681Will you not speak to him, Major Heyward, that I may hear his tones? 27681 Will''The Long Rifle''give his life for the woman?"
27681With what tongue does the prisoner speak to the Manitou?
27681With what?
27681Would La Longue Carabine cut one so light on an enemy?
27681Would Le Gros Serpent have been heard by the ears of one he wished to be deaf?
27681Would the Yengeese send their women as spies? 27681 Would ye bring certain death upon us, by telling the Mingos where we lie?"
27681Would you set a cloud to chase the wind?
27681You are, then, lost,interrupted the hunter,"and have found how helpless''tis not to know whether to take the right hand or the left?"
27681You believe, then, the attack will be renewed?
27681You have, then, limited your efforts to sacred song?
27681You heard what the singer said, as he left us,--''She is at hand, and expects you''?
27681You know him, Duncan, or you would not trust yourself so freely to his keeping?
27681You saw our capture?
27681You then suspect it is a portion of that people among whom Cora resides?
27681You think that Montcalm has not called off all his Indians? 27681 You were about opening your throat- practysings among the beavers, were ye?"
27681You were, then, witnesses of all that passed?
27681After which Uncas and I pushed for the other encampment, as was agreed; have you seen the lad?"
27681An ambushment has been planted in the spot?
27681And did they not leave him on the south side of the river, with their prisoners, while they have gone foolishly on the north?
27681Are not the pale- faces thicker than the swallows in the season of flowers?"
27681Are we not now in her pursuit?
27681Art thou not Tamenund-- the father, the judge, I had almost said, the prophet-- of this people?"
27681As he approached he was received with the usual challenge,--"Qui vive?"
27681But all our work is yet before us: where is the gentle one?"
27681But can you put me on the scent of Uncas?"
27681But every story has its two sides; so I ask you, Chingachgook, what passed, according to the traditions of the redmen, when our fathers first met?"
27681But what is the edging of blacker smoke that hangs along its lower side, and which you may trace down into the thicket of hazel?
27681But what matters that?"
27681But where are to be found those of your race who came to their kin in the Delaware country, so many summers since?"
27681But who can say that the Serpent of his tribe has forgotten his wisdom?
27681But who has ever found a Huron asleep?"
27681But why should I, a Huron of the woods, tell a wise people their own traditions?
27681But, let me ask ye, sir, have you been as intelligible to the girl?"
27681CHAPTER XIV"_ Guard._--Qui est là  ?
27681CHAPTER XIX"_ Salar._--Why, I am sure, if he forfeit, thou wilt not take his flesh; what''s that good for?"
27681CHAPTER XXII_"Bot._--Are we all met?"
27681CHAPTER XXV_"Snug._--Have you the lion''s part written?
27681Can he slay a buck for their dinner; journey by the moss on the beeches, or cut the throat of a Huron?
27681Can it be a living object?"
27681Can the cunning stranger frighten him away?"
27681Can we not tarry here a little longer, while you find the rest you need?
27681Can you see where he has put his rifle or his bow?"
27681Can you use the smooth bore, or handle the rifle?"
27681Chingach-- Hist?
27681Did Magua say that the hatchet was out of the ground, and that his hand had dug it up?"
27681Did he not pretend to go back to his tribe, who had treated him ill, and driven him from their wigwams like a dog?
27681Did not the Huron chief say he took women in the battle?"
27681Do my brothers know the name of this favored people?"
27681Do they follow us so far?"
27681Does my brother wish to hear Le Cerf Agile ask for his petticoats, and see him weep before the Hurons, at the stake?"
27681Does not Renard mean to turn like a fox on his footsteps, and to carry to the rich and gray- headed Scotchman his daughters?
27681Does not my son know that the hatchet is buried between the English and his Canadian Father?"
27681Does not the egg become a worm-- the worm a fly, and perish?
27681Dost thou remember the name of that English warrior?"
27681For what have the Frenchers reared up their Quebec, if fighting is always to be done in the clearings?"
27681Go, malignant monster-- why do you delay?"
27681Has Uncas no counsel to offer in such a strait?"
27681Has he leaped the river to the woods?"
27681Has not my brother scented spies in the woods?"
27681Has she no friend, that none care for her?"
27681Have not my brothers scented the feet of white men?"
27681Have you forgotten the skulking rept_y_le that Uncas slew?"
27681Have you so soon forgotten from whom you received the foolish instrument you hold in your hand?"
27681Her head is too good to find a pillow in the wigwam of Le Renard; will she like it better when it rolls about this hill a plaything for the wolves?
27681How do you name yourself?"
27681How many suns have set since Le Renard struck the war- post of the English?"
27681How, now, my vigilant sentinel, can you see anything of those you call the Iroquois, on the mainland?"
27681I greatly mourn that one so well disposed should die in his ignorance, and I have sought a goodly hymn--""Can you lead me to him?"
27681I hope there is no reason to distrust his fidelity?"
27681I trust, monsieur, you come authorized to treat for the surrender of the place?"
27681Is he a Mohawk?"
27681Is it not better than this place?"
27681Is life to be purchased by such a sacrifice?
27681Is not all this true?
27681Is there no reward, no means of palliating the injury, and of softening your heart?
27681Is there not one among them who has seen it all, and who knows it to be true?
27681Is there reason in my words, Sagamore?"
27681It would seem that the stock of the horse of Israel has descended to our own time; would it not, friend?"
27681Know you the distance to a post of the crown called William Henry?"
27681Magua muttered a few words, inaudibly, between his teeth, before he continued, aloud,--"Can the Delawares swim, too, as well as crawl in the bushes?
27681Mais, monsieur, is it not time to begin to take more counsel of humanity, and less of your courage?
27681May not something be done for her instant relief?"
27681Monsieur would wish to see my camp, and witness, for himself, our numbers, and the impossibility of his resisting them, with success?"
27681My young men dreamed they had seen the trail of the Yengeese nigh the village of the Delawares?"
27681Name chapter and verse; in which of the holy books do you find language to support you?"
27681Now, if you had a company of the Royal Americans here, in what manner would you set them to work in this business?"
27681Pride of the Wapanachki, why hast thou left us?"
27681Rising without assistance, and seemingly without an effort, he demanded, in a voice that startled its auditors by its firmness,--"What art thou?"
27681Say; shall I send the yellow hair to her father, and will you follow Magua to the great lakes, to carry his water, and feed him with corn?"
27681Shall this be?
27681Speaking of spirits, Major, are you of opinion that the heaven of a redskin and of us whites will be one and the same?"
27681Tell me, ye Delawares, has Tamenund been a sleeper for a hundred winters?"
27681That the pale- face who has slain so many of his friends goes in and out among the Delawares?
27681The Indian riveted his glowing eyes on Heyward as he asked, in his imperfect English,"Is he alone?"
27681The aged man mused with himself for a time; and then bending his head towards one of his venerable companions, he asked,--"Are my ears open?"
27681The daughters of the commandant, I learn, have passed into the fort since it was invested?"
27681The loss of both of his daughters might bring the aged man to his grave, and where would then be the satisfaction of Le Renard?"
27681The savage placed the finger of the French commander on a deep scar in his bosom, and then exultingly demanded,--"Does my father know that?"
27681The scout has said as much?"
27681Then Magua, as if recalled to such a recollection, by the allusion to the massacre, demanded,--"Does my prisoner give trouble to my brothers?"
27681Then suddenly lifting his voice to a pitch of terrific energy, he concluded, by demanding,--"Are the Hurons dogs to bear this?
27681Then where to seek a proper protector for you against the confusion and chances of such a scene?"
27681Then, did he not lose his path to blind the eyes of the Hurons?
27681There is no force in the decrees of Venice: I stand for judgment; answer, shall I have it?"
27681Uncas cast a glance along the range of trees which concealed his own band and mentioned the name of--"Magua?"
27681Uncas looked earnestly at the scout, before he asked,--"What says Hawkeye?"
27681We are a few hours too late?
27681We know that the first has been here, but where are the signs of the other?
27681Well, boy, any signs of such a foundation?"
27681Were they of English or French formation?"
27681What answer could we give Munro, when he asked us where and how we left his children?"
27681What brings a Huron here?"
27681What can this mean?"
27681What did the gray- head?
27681What do you hear, Chingachgook?
27681What is a Yengee?
27681What is your pleasure in the matter of the interview?"
27681What may be your calling?"
27681What say you, Chingachgook,"he added in Delaware;"shall the Hurons boast of this to their women when the deep snows come?"
27681What say_ you_, lad; of what people was the knave?"
27681What shall we do with the Mingos at the door?
27681What think you of such a song as this?"
27681What will our fathers think the tribes of the Wyandots have become?
27681When he is told a bloody Yengee smokes at your fire?
27681Where is Le Gros Serpent?"
27681Where is his body?
27681Who before thee has ever shown Uttawa the way into the fight?
27681Who can deny it?
27681Who gave him the fire- water?
27681Who that saw thee in battle would believe that thou couldst die?
27681Whom call you Le Renard?"
27681Why linger to add to the number of the victims of our merciless enemies?"
27681Why remind them of their injuries; their ancient greatness; their deeds; their glory; their happiness,--their losses; their defeats; their misery?
27681Why should I not?
27681Why should Tamenund stay?
27681Why should there be bitter words between us?
27681Why should they brighten their tomahawks, and sharpen their knives against each other?
27681Why should they not?
27681Why tell the Delawares of good that is past?
27681Will he dare to tell the hot- blooded Scotsman that his children are left without a guide, though Magua promised to be one?"
27681Will she find an excuse for the neglect of the knight in the duty of a soldier?"
27681Will you taste for yourself?"
27681Will you, Alice, receive it at my hands at such a price?
27681Wilt thou bear a part, friend?
27681Would it not be more like a man to go before his face, and take the satisfaction of a warrior?"
27681You have not yet answered my question: what is our distance from the main army at Edward?"
27681You have, then, seen much service on this frontier?"
27681You know our force?"
27681You know the cry of a crow, friend, from the whistle of the whippoorwill?"
27681You scorn to mingle the blood of the Heywards with one so degraded-- lovely and virtuous though she be?"
27681You see we are, too obviously, within the sentinels of the enemy; what course do you propose to follow?"
27681and by what path?
27681and what is next to be done?"
27681are not arrangements already made for their convenience?"
27681can you make anything of the tell- tale?"
27681demanded Duncan, losing the first feeling of disappointment in a more manly desire for exertion;"what will become of us?"
27681demanded Hawkeye;"you saved a Huron from the death- shriek by that word; have you reason for what you do?"
27681demanded Heyward, in surprise;"surely we part not here?"
27681demanded Heyward, when the other had arrived sufficiently nigh to abate his speed;"I trust you are no messenger of evil tidings?"
27681demanded the veteran, sternly;"does he make a merit of having captured a scout, with a note from headquarters?
27681do our lights shine through the blankets?"
27681do they tell the young warriors, that the pale- faces met the redmen, painted for war and armed with the stone hatchet and wooden gun?"
27681exclaimed Duncan, still more confirmed in the evil intentions of his ancient enemy:"a dog never lies, but when was a wolf known to speak the truth?"
27681exclaimed Munro;"whither, then, have they fled, and where are my babes?"
27681exclaimed the astonished Hawkeye;"are you tired of seeing the sun rise and set?"
27681friend or enemy?"
27681has he not seen that the woods were filled with outlying parties of the enemies, and that the Serpent could not steal through them without being seen?
27681have they heard or seen anything of our enemies?"
27681have you a mind to teach the beavers to sing?"
27681he added,"what says the daughter of Munro?
27681he has eyes and ears, and a tongue: what verbal report does he make?"
27681he said, addressing Duncan;"are the Delawares fools, that they could not know the young panther from the cat?"
27681he said, leaning forward, and peering through the dim light to catch the expression of the other''s features;"is he afraid?
27681one at length uttered;"has my friend found the moose?"
27681or was it the rustling of the leaves in the top of the beech?"
27681or, may we not owe their visit to the dead colt?
27681returned the exulting savage;"will the dark hair go to his tribe?"
27681returned the other;"who has slain my young men?
27681said another voice, in the same soft, guttural tones, near his elbow;"who speaks to Uncas?"
27681see you nothing walking on the shore of the pond?"
27681shall we speak of the terms?"
27681speaking in Delaware to the young chief as he re- entered,"what see you?
27681we are talking of your pretensions to Miss Munro, are we not, sir?"
27681what could you do, mounted, against an Indian in the bushes?"
27681what have such as I, who am a warrior of the wilderness, though a man without a cross, to do with books?
27681what is''t you do?"
27681what noise is that?"
