Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Path of Glory What think you by this time, major, he asked the foremost, a bronzed young giant whose face was slightly marred by the marks of smallpox; will the commandant receive us well and give us a satisfactory answer?' The major cast a glance up the hemlock ridge ahead at a little company of Indian guides, swarthy Canadians in the uniforms of troupes de la marine or colonial regulars, and English borderers in hunting-shirts convoying four or five pack-horses. Satisfied that they were out of ear shot, he made answer with the deliberation of one se customed to weigh his words: It was in order to discuss such matters privately, Charles, that I asked the three of you to drop behind the rest of the party. As for your question, the devil only knows the answer. Probably the commandant will make us fine speeches and treat us well to outward seeming, but that he will comply with our summons I do not believe. What think you, Christopher?
