Kathy,
YOu are right when you say "Did he jump back into verbatim translation? I don't think he was translating at that point, just offering himself. I thought the only thing he said after the Sachem passed final judgment was "take me, a British officer....."
Earlier I posted a long-winded love-letter to Duncan... I mean he did sacrifice TWICE. Once he offered himself to save his Cora, then he offered again to save the man - his rival! - she loves.
He just believed that Hawkeye was the better man (under those circumstances) for Cora.
Indeed that is a Countless-Hanky scene...'

Best,
V.
