"The whole affair shows me, however, that I am not secure from Sam Haines even here in the woods. He has found one messenger, and can readily get another." "Now, don't despair. Your red friend has some scheme in his head, or I'm mistaken.
Three days after the departure of Tiretta, I took him what small belongings he had, and Madame seemed very glad to see me.
