Scattergood kept his eyes open for a spring, but it was not until they had driven some miles that an opportunity to find water appeared. "Calculate we kin git a drink there," said Scattergood, pointing to a little shanty in a clearing by the roadside. He stopped his horse, and they alighted and knocked. There was no reply.
We would not advise our young amateur to calculate very confidently on securing a fox at the first attempt, but we can truthfully vouch that if the creature can be caught at all, it can be done by following the directions we now give. One of the most essential things in the trapping of this, as well as nearly all animals, is that the trap should be perfectly clean and free from rust.
The only way to calculate how he will behave, is to consider the circumstances in which he will be placed, and the extent to which they will conflict with his character.
"Well! then I must give you as much as your place is worth. Please to calculate that, and name the figure." "My place! I wouldn't lose it for a hundred pounds." "Exactly. Then I'll give you a hundred guineas." "And how am I to get my money, sir?" "The first time you are out, come to Albion Villa, in Barkington, and I'll have it all ready for you."
This arrangement enables a visitor to the place to calculate with some certainty about the amount of obligation he incurs. All the Tuaricks are easily distinguished by their habit of wearing a litham, or muffler, with which they conceal their mouths and all the lower part of their face.

I take up with other games, I am forced to do it; but, even at rouge et noir, I carry about with me the rules of whist. I calculate I remember." "But hazard?" "I never play at that," said Saville, solemnly. "It is the devil's game; it defies skill. Forsake hazard, and let me teach you ecarte; it is coming into fashion."
Not that I altogether expected any change; they provided me with every thing I needed, and waited upon me with very careful service; yet now I could calculate exactly how long I should be safe in this refuge, and the calculation gave me great uneasiness. In a few months I should find myself still in need of refuge, but without the means of paying for it. What would become of me then?
We could calculate pretty accurately whereabouts to find our consort, when about noon the next day it came on calm for some hours, and though we set all sail, the ship made but little progress through the water. Late in the evening, the sound of rapid firing reached our ears, and we knew that the Venus must be engaged, but whether or not with a ship of superior force, it was impossible to decide.
I own that this would be no sacrifice, for I am proud enough to recoil from the thought of being indebted for fortune to the woman I love. Ah, madman that I am! I calculate already on marriage, even while I have so much cause for anxiety as to love. But my heart beats, my heart has grown a dial that keeps the account of time; by its movements I calculate the moments in an hour I shall see her!
The Broken arm told me that the nation would not pass the mountains untill the latter part of the Summer, and with respect to the young men who we had requested to accompany us to the falls of Missouri, were not yet Selected for that purpose nor could they be So untill they had a Meeting of the Nation in Council. that this would happen in the Course of ten or 12 days as the whole of the Lodges were about to Move to the head of Commeap Creek in the Plain of Lewis's river, that when they held a council they would Select two young men. that if we Set out previously to that time the men would follow us. we therefore do not Calculate any assistance from them as guides, but depend more upon engageing Some of the Oatlash-shoots on Clarks river in the neighbouringhood of Travellers rest C. for that purpose.
