: Well, MMMM, I HAVE to make this point; if he is such a H-E-R-O, why can't he even 'get there' in time to save his brother??? His timing is lousy!!!

: Still, that long, flowing hair, that bent thumb... I can't deny he has certain 'charms' but 'hero' he is NOT!! The REAL H-E-R-O fights to the end and dies for his 'love'!!!

Dear Kate,

If you think I'm letting this LIE until June, you've got another think coming, Miss! A "Real Hero" does NOT die for his love...he fights to the end, WINS his fight, and LIVES, thus enabling both his love and himself to ride off into the sunset together! A WOULD-BE hero DIES trying! Bravely, perhaps, but none-the-less, it serves no one if he loses his life and lets his love lose hers as well. Sorry...Hawkeye saved his woman & lived to tell the tale. And as for why he wasn't in time to save his brother, the man can't be in two places at once. He stayed behind to save Duncan from a slow and agonizing death, then tried gamely to save his foolishly rash brother, as well. Unfortunately, Uncas had taken on way more than he could handle, instead of waiting just a few minutes longer for familial reinforcement. Thus, he fails to save either himself OR his beloved. Tsk. Too bad he's not a REAL hero, like my Hawkeye!!! Had he been, he and Alice would be setting up house in the cabin next door to Cora & Nathaniel.

So....I repeat...how do you spell Hawkeye?? H-E-R-O!

Ladies and Gentlemen of Mohicanland, I rest my case!

*bows deeply, and walks away from the jury with both dignity and grace...well, mayhap not that "grace" part!*

MMMM
