Doctor Price swore to the nature of the wound, its present and probable consequences, which involved the loss of one eye and perhaps the other, and produced the shot he had extracted. McRae testified that he and Barclay Fetters had gone down between dances, from the Opera Ball, to the hotel bar, to get a glass of seltzer.
You've got to have friends in the Lone Lands who'll hide you till you can slip out of the country. Can you do that if the trappers friends of McRae, nearly all of 'em carry the word of what you did to this girl?" "I'm gonna take her with me." West stuck doggedly to his idea. He knew what he wanted. His life was forfeit, anyhow. He might as well go through to a finish.
Two days or so afterwards our scouts crossed Gold Lake in birch canoes and secured the release of the remaining prisoners of Big Bear, the others having come in to our lines after the fight at Frenchman's Butte, where Constable Donald McRae, still happily surviving, was wounded, but refused to leave the field till he had exhausted his ammunition.
Grose had preceded them, and had let down a well-rope, which was of sufficient length to reach the soldier and capable of sustaining him for a time.

In a rough way Angus McRae was something of a doctor. He dressed the wounds of both the injured, using the small medical kit he had brought with him. Whaley was a bit of a stoic himself. The philosophy of his class was to take good fortune or ill undemonstratively. He was lucky to be alive. Why whine about what must be?
From an automobile near the edge of the crowd, Donald McRae, Sheriff of Snohomish County, called to Michel: "Jake, I will run that guy in if you say so." "I don't see any need to run him in;" remonstrated Michel. "He hasn't said anything yet to run him in for." Nevertheless McRae, usurping the powers of the local police department, made Rowan leave the platform and go with him to the county jail.
She had on her best dress, a beaded silk with purple satin trimmings, brought by a Red River cart from Winnipeg, accompanied with a guarantee from the trader that Queen Victoria had none better.

"My dearest Claudia, let me lead you to your room; you require repose after this excitement," said the countess, giving her arm to the new widow. Claudia arose; but the judge gently arrested her progress. "Stay, my dear! One word before you go.
