After the first massacre, Cora reaches down and slips the pistol in the pocket of her skirt. Is it for defending herself and Alice against the Huron and French?? Or is she a little untrusting of their new friends?? Just want some opinions....Thanks. |

I think Cora was simply applying the Boy Scout motto, "be prepared." She'd just gone through a terrifying experience that showed her just how dangerous the frontier could be, and how useful a firearm could be when confronting those dangers. It's an illustration of one of Cora's many admirable qualities: the willingness to see life as it really is and deal with it, rather than pining for the life she left behind or trying to force this new country into the mold of the old one ("make the world England"). |

You got that right. He might stare her to death with those bedroom eyes, or speak to her in that monosyllabic way he has. heeheeheee |

I think that it was to protect herself from Uncas.You just never know with that one. |

Actually, it's so she will have it at the burial scene and can later use it at the Massacre Valley scene. The script writer had to let her find one somewhere. Just part of making the plot work. |
