The Canadian and Indian sharpshooters, from the shelter of houses, bushes and knolls, had opened fire.

Now and then a man in scarlet fell, but the army of Wolfe neither moved nor replied, though some of the New England rangers, stealing forward, began to send bullets at their targets.
"I see Tandakora," said Tayoga, "and, in an hour, the score between us will be settled.

Tododaho told me so last night, but it is still uncertain which shall be the victor." "Can't you get a shot at him ?" asked Robert.
"It is not yet time, Dagaeoga.

Tododaho will say when the moment comes for me to pull trigger on the Ojibway." Then Robert's gaze shifted back to the figure of St.Luc.The chevalier rode a white horse, and he was helping Montcalm to form the lines in the best order for the attack.

He too held in his hand a sword, the small sword that Robert had seen before, but he seldom waved it.
"Are they ever coming ?" asked Robert, who felt as if he had been standing on the field many hours.
"We've not long to wait now, lad," replied Willet.
