It will not do to show any fear; and if he is disposed to be friendly, he would think it ungrateful if we were to run off without thanking him." I took Lily's hand as I spoke, and led her towards the Indian.
He was disposed to believe the lady's statement. "Surely I have a right to my own property," said the showily dressed lady in a tone of authority, which quite imposed upon the weak-minded salesman. "I dare say you are right, ma'am," said he, hesitatingly. "Of course I am," said she.
