Later in the day Robert returned with Willet and Tayoga and they had a reunion. "When we take Quebec," said Tayoga to Grosvenor, "Red Coat must go back with us into the wilderness and learn to become a great warrior.
We can go beyond the Great Lakes and stay two or three years." "I wish I could," laughed Grosvenor, "but that is one of the things I must deny myself.
