You did make a very clever escape with the aid of that Indian friend of yours.

I hope to capture Tayoga some day, and, if I do, it will be an achievement of which I shall boast all the rest of my life.
But we'll take good care that you don't leave us again." "He has just warned me that he intends to escape a second time," said St.Luc.
"Then it will be a pretty test of mettle," said the Owl, appreciation showing in his tone, "and we welcome it.

Have you any commands for me, sir ?" He spoke with great respect when he addressed the query to St.Luc, and the Chevalier replied that they would march in a half hour.

Then Langlade gave Robert food, and took a little himself, sitting with the prisoner and informing him that the Dove had worried greatly over his escape.

Although she was not to blame, she considered that in some indirect manner it was a reflection upon her vigilance, and it was many months before she was fully consoled.
"I must send word to her by one of our runners that you have been retaken," said the Owl, "and I wish to tell you, Mr.Lennox, that the Dove's younger sister, who is so much like her in looks and character, is still unmarried and perhaps it may come into the mind of the Chevalier de St.Luc or the Marquis de Montcalm to send you back to our village." "You're once more most polite," laughed Robert, "but I'm far too young, yet, to think of marriage." "It's not an offer that I'd make to many young men," said Langlade regretfully.
