Jumonville had done him as much injury as he could, but he was sorry for him, and had he been able to stay the ebbing of his life, he would have done so.

As the good priest finished his prayer the head of Francois de Jumonville fell back.

He was dead.
"We will take his body into the house," said Father Drouillard, "prepare it for the grave and give him Christian burial.

I cannot forget that he was an officer of France." "And my men shall help you," said Willet.
They carried the body of Jumonville into the chateau and put it on a bench, while the servants, remarkably composed, used as they were to scenes of violence, began at once to array it for the grave.
"Come into the Seigneur's room," said Father Drouillard, and Robert and Willet followed him into the old man's chamber.

M.de Chatillard lay silent and rigid.
