The Masters of the Peaks

CHAPTER VIII
38/41

I request of you your parole, your word of honor that you will not take any further part in this war." "I can't do it! As I have often told Captain Langlade, I intend to escape." "That is impossible.

If you could not do so when you were in Captain Langlade's village, you have no chance at all now that you are surrounded by an army.

But since you will not give me your parole it will become necessary to keep you as a prisoner of war, and to send you to a safe place." "Many of our people in this and former wars with the French have been held prisoners in the Province of Quebec.

I know somewhat of the city of Quebec, and it is not wholly an unpleasant place." "I did not have Quebec, either the province or the city, in mind so far as concerns you, Mr.Lennox.Three of our ships are to return shortly to France, and, not wishing to give us your parole, you are to go to France." "To France ?" "Yes, to France.

Where else?
