The seats of the mighty

The story, set in Canada (Quebec) in the period 1755-59, begins with the announcement of Braddock's death, and ends with an account of the taking of Quebec.

First sentence: WHEN Monsieur Doltaire entered the salon, and, dropping lazily into a chair beside Madame Duvarney and her daughter, drawled out, "England's Braddock-fool and general-has gone to heaven, Captain Moray, and your papers send you there also," I did not shift a jot, but looked over at him gravely-for, God knows, I was startled-and I said: "The General is dead?"
