I hear of one of their leaders who has endeared himself to them in the most remarkable manner.

There has been much talk in New York of the Chevalier de St.Luc, and being nearer the seat of action you've perhaps heard some of it here in Albany, Jacobus!" Robert leaned a little farther forward and concentrated every faculty on the talk, but he said nothing.
"Yes, we've heard much of him, Alan," replied Master Jacobus.

"I think he's the most dangerous foe that we have among Montcalm's lieutenants.
He passes like a flame along the border, and yet report speaks well of him, too.

All our men who have come in contact with him say he is a gallant and chivalrous foe." Robert glanced at Master Benjamin Hardy, but the great merchant's face was blank.
"Robert saw him, too, when he was a prisoner among the French," said Mr.
Huysman.
Mr.Hervey looked at Robert, who said: "I saw him several times at Ticonderoga, where he was the chief adviser of Montcalm during the battle, and I've seen him often elsewhere.

All that they say about him is true.
