Here was a man who did not have the gallantry and chivalry that marked so many of the French.

If he could he would strike some great blow.
He strove to dismiss Garay from his mind, and, in his interest in what was going on about him, he finally succeeded.

He saw Frenchmen and Canadians leaving the camp and others returning.

His knowledge of war made him believe that those coming had been messengers sent forth to watch the Anglo-American army, and those going were dispatched on the same service.

Their alarm must be great, he reflected pleasantly, and none could bring to Montcalm any reassuring news.
