That look excites Dan Boggs who's been on the brink of fits since ever the play begins, he's that 'motional. "'Don't raise the limit, Nell! says Dan in a awful whisper. 'That's where Cherokee's weak at the go-off. He ought never to have thrown away the limit. "Nell casts her eyes they're burnin' like coals! on Dan. I can see his bluff about Cherokee bein' weak has done decided her mind.
At the appointed time many chiefs and warriors of the Chickasaws, Cherokees, and even Creeks appeared. The Chickasaws thereafter remained friendly; but, as usual, the Cherokee and Creek chiefs who chose to attend were unable to bind those of their fellows who did not. The whole treaty was, in fact, on both sides, of a merely preliminary nature.
One resource remained to be exhausted in defense of the Indian claims; this was the courts. But here again things went unfavorably. After many delays a test case, Cherokee Nation vs. State of Georgia, was placed upon the docket of the Supreme Court.

The whole of that vast extent of country lying within the natural boundaries constituted by the Ohio, Kentucky, and Cumberland rivers, was at this time claimed by a portion of the Cherokee Indians, who resided within the limits of North Carolina; and the scheme of Henderson's Company was nothing less than to take possession of this immense territory, under color of a purchase from those Indians, which they intended to make, and the preliminary negotiations for which were opened with the Cherokees, through the agency of Daniel Boone, as soon as the company was fully organized.
As the officer concluded, having bowed to Odalie with much politeness, considering he was not yet informed as to whether she were of a party of French emissaries, forever sowing dissension amongst the Cherokee allies of the English, he drew himself up very erect, with a complacent mien.
