I shall cross you from my list, and the sooner you return to Montreal, the better.

Your peculiar sense of honor in no wise appeals to me.

It is an ignoble revenge; for do not doubt that I know your own history, Monsieur, and also the part the Chevalier had in it.

But believing you had come to this country to repair your honor, I have assisted you by inviting you to partake of my bounty and of my friendship." De Leviston paled, and turned a scowling face to those about him.

He found no sympathy in any eye, not even in D'Herouville's.
"You have wounded brutally and with intent," went on the governor, "the heart of a man who has not only proved himself a gentleman, but a hero.
And I add this: Let no one repeat what has happened, or he shall feel the weight of my displeasure, and my displeasure will mean much to promotion and liberty." He pushed his chair under the table, which signified that he was to retire.
The gentlemen left the table with him.
Outside, Victor approached D'Herouville, ignoring De Leviston.
