Summary: Chingachgook's thoughts on the daugters Munroe.
Warnings: None
The daughters Munroe are light and dark. When he first saw the two women, he was struck by their difference, not only in appearance, but in their fundamental being.
The elder, Cora, is all dark and flashing. Her temperament is much like his white son, fully of fiery conviction and a desire to prove herself. She is no shrinking gentlewoman. She is as wild as his white son; she is like the elk – endlessly bounding, testing it’s freedom by how far it can run.
The younger, Alice, is light and airy. Her temperament is much like his blood-bound son, deep and still like the lakes in Ken-tuck-ee; yet she is full of an innocence he hates to see tainted, even though he does not know her. She is not a white gentlewoman, full of scorn for his people. She is gentle like his Maiara, who was warm to all, even an orphananed white boy who would become their son. Alice is like the wild flowers in the field – reaching for the warmth of the sun, but losing her petals with the first cold wind.
Chingachgook marvels how the father Munroe could produce both light and dark daughters from his blood. Like the sun and moon, the daughters Munroe revolve around each other, tempering themselves.
