"Do you know it's going to be strange to talk with Katherine!" exclaimed Rhoda. "She's a white woman, you know!" DeWitt took both of Rhoda's brown little hands in his. "I'm not appearing very sympathetic, sweetheart," he said. "But I'm so crazy with joy at having you again and of finding you so well that I don't know what I'm saying." "John," said Rhoda slowly, "I don't need any sympathy!
When he knocked at the door a girl named Rhoda came to answer. And hearing Peter's voice, she was so glad that she forgot to open the door, but ran in, and told that Peter was standing outside. They said to her, "You are out of your mind." But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel." But Peter kept on knocking: and when they opened the door and saw him, they were amazed.
A man of the world would tell you that I grossly magnified trifles; it is very likely that Everard was on a higher moral level than most men. But I shall never forgive him for destroying my faith in his honour and nobility of feeling. Rhoda had a puzzled look. 'Perhaps even now you are unintentionally misleading me, she said. 'I have supposed him an outrageous profligate.
She realized that it would take careful pleading on her part to win freedom for Kut-le if ever he were caught. She changed the subject. "Have you found living off the desert hard? I mean as far as food was concerned?" "Food hasn't bothered us," answered John. "We've kept well supplied." Rhoda chuckled. "Then I can't tempt you to stop and have some roast mice with me?"
For once none of them cared for the storm; the boys exulted over the thought that it would be the last scolding they would have to suffer; and Rhoda had difficulty in gasping down her tears at the thought that it was the last meal that she would take with them, for they had settled that they would start that very night.
Actually, he was thinking of a different chest and different legs at the time the ones belonging to a copper-haired girl named Rhoda Kane. Rhoda's legs were far more alluring.
The herder glanced at Rhoda and shook his head. "Quién sabe?" Rhoda turned to Kut-le in anger. "Don't be more brutal than you have to be!" she cried. "What harm can it do for this man to give me word of my friends?" Kut-le's eyes softened. "Answer the señorita's questions, amigo," he said. The Mexican began eagerly. "There were three. They rode up the trail one day ago.
'Yes, she did; she dropped the girl twin out of the second-story window into Abe Isaac's arms, but she didn't know the boy was in the building till just now, and they can't hardly hold her. 'She's foolish, anyhow, ain't she? Mary staggered beyond Rhoda to the front of the crowd. 'Let me under the rope! she cried, with a mother's very wail in her tone 'let me under the rope, for God's sake!
John's jaws came together and he returned the girl's scrutiny with a steel-like glance. "Why do you plead for him?" he asked finally. "He saved my life," she answered simply. John rose and walked up and down restlessly. "Rhoda, if a white man had done this thing I would shoot him as I would a dog. What do I care for a law in a case like this! We were men long before we had laws.
Once more Rhoda accompanied her friend to the station, and waited anxiously for the word which would surely be said concerning the escapade which had cost so dear, but, like Evie, she was obliged to introduce the subject herself. "Have you nothing to say to me, Tom?" she asked wistfully. "I haven't seen you since you know when but, of course, you heard how it happened. It was all my fault.
