Duncan
released
his
hold
on
the
arm
of
the
scout
,
who
turned
,
and
steadily
retraced
his
steps
towards
the
lodges
.
After
pausing
a
moment
to
gaze
at
his
retiring
form
,
the
successful
and
yet
sorrowful
Heyward
,
and
Alice
,
took
their
way
together
towards
the
distant
village
of
the
Delawares

Midsummer
Night
's
Dream
.
Notwithstanding
the
high
resolution
of
Hawkeye
,
he
fully
comprehended
all
the
difficulties
and
dangers
he
was
about
to
incur
.
In
his
return
to
the
camp
,
his
acute
and
practised
intellects
were
intently
engaged
in
devising
means
to
counteract
a
watchfulness
and
suspicion
on
the
part
of
his
enemies
,
that
he
knew
were
,
in
no
degree
,
inferior
to
his
own
.
Nothing
but
the
color
of
his
skin
had
saved
the
lives
of
Magua
and
the
conjurer
,
who
would
have
been
the
first
victims
sacrificed
to
his
own
security
,
had
not
the
scout
believed
such
an
act
,
however
congenial
it
might
be
to
the
nature
of
an
Indian
,
utterly
unworthy
of
one
who
boasted
a
descent
from
men
that
knew
no
cross
of
blood
.
Accordingly
,
he
trusted
to
the
withes
and
ligaments
with
which
he
had
bound
his
captives
,
and
pursued
his
way
directly
towards
the
centre
of
the
lodges
.
As
he
approached
the
buildings
,
his
steps
became
more
deliberate
,
and
his
vigilant
eye
suffered
no
sign
,
whether
friendly
or
hostile
,
to
escape
him
.
A
neglected
hut
was
a
little
in
advance
of
the
others
,
and
appeared
as
if
it
had
been
deserted
when
half
completed
--
most
probably
on
account
of
failing
in
some
of
the
more
important
requisites
;
such
as
food
or
water
.
A
faint
light
glimmered
through
its
cracks
,
however
,
and
announced
that
,
notwithstanding
its
imperfect
structure
,
it
was
not
without
a
tenant
.
Thither
,
then
,
the
scout
proceeded
,
like
a
prudent
general
,
who
was
about
to
feel
the
advanced
positions
of
his
enemy
,
before
he
hazarded
the
main
attack
.
Throwing
himself
into
a
suitable
posture
for
the
beast
he
represented
,
Hawkeye
crawled
to
a
little
opening
,
where
he
might
command
a
view
of
the
interior
.
It
proved
to
be
the
abiding-place
of
David
Gamut
.
Hither
the
faithful
singing-master
had
now
brought
himself
,
together
with
all
his
sorrows
,
his
apprehensions
,
and
his
meek
dependence
on
the
protection
of
Providence
.
At
the
precise
moment
when
his
ungainly
person
came
under
the
observation
of
the
scout
,
in
the
manner
just
mentioned
,
the
woodsman
himself
,
though
in
his
assumed
character
,
was
the
subject
of
the
solitary
being
's
profoundest
reflections
.
However
implicit
the
faith
of
David
was
in
the
performance
of
ancient
miracles
,
he
eschewed
the
belief
of
any
direct
supernatural
agency
in
the
management
of
modern
morality
.
In
other
words
,
while
he
had
implicit
faith
in
the
ability
of
Balsam
's
ass
to
speak
,
he
was
somewhat
skeptical
on
the
subject
of
a
bear
's
singing
;
and
yet
he
had
been
assured
of
the
latter
,
on
the
testimony
of
his
own
exquisite
organs
.
There
was
something
in
his
air
and
manner
that
betrayed
to
the
scout
the
utter
confusion
of
the
state
of
his
mind
.
He
was
seated
on
a
pile
of
brush
,
a
few
twigs
from
which
occasionally
fed
his
low
fire
,
with
his
head
leaning
on
his
arm
,
in
a
posture
of
melancholy
musing
.
The
costume
of
the
votary
of
music
had
undergone
no
other
alteration
from
that
so
lately
described
,
except
that
he
had
covered
his
bald
head
with
the
triangular
beaver
,
which
had
not
proved
sufficiently
alluring
to
excite
the
cupidity
of
any
of
his
captors
.
The
ingenious
Hawkeye
,
who
recalled
the
hasty
manner
in
which
the
other
had
abandoned
his
post
at
the
bedside
of
the
sick
woman
,
was
not
without
his
suspicions
concerning
the
subject
of
so
much
solemn
deliberation
.
First
making
the
circuit
of
the
hut
,
and
ascertaining
that
it
stood
quite
alone
,
and
that
the
character
of
its
inmate
was
likely
to
protect
it
from
visitors
,
he
ventured
through
its
low
door
,
into
the
very
presence
of
Gamut
.
The
position
of
the
latter
brought
the
fire
between
them
;
and
when
Hawkeye
had
seated
himself
on
end
,
near
a
minute
elapsed
,
during
which
the
two
remained
regarding
each
other
without
speaking
.
The
suddenness
and
the
nature
of
the
surprise
had
nearly
proved
too
much
for
--
we
will
not
say
the
philosophy
--
but
for
the
faith
and
resolution
of
David
.
He
fumbled
for
his
pitch-pipe
,
and
arose
with
a
confused
intention
of
attempting
a
musical
exorcism
.
"
Dark
and
mysterious
monster
!
"
he
exclaimed
,
while
with
trembling
hands
he
disposed
of
his
auxiliary
eyes
,
and
sought
his
never-failing
resource
in
trouble
,
the
gifted
version
of
the
Psalms
:
"
I
know
not
your
nature
nor
intents
;
but
if
aught
you
meditate
against
the
person
and
rights
of
one
of
the
humblest
servants
of
the
temple
,
listen
to
the
inspired
language
of
the
youth
of
Israel
,
and
repent
.
"
The
bear
shook
his
shaggy
sides
,
and
then
a
well-known
voice
replied
--
