Mormons are hell on secret and mystery, and to pry into their affairs is to queer yourself. My advice is just be as nice as you can be, and let things happen." Fay Larkin! All in a night Shefford had forgotten her. Why? He pondered over the matter, and then the old thrill, the old desire, came back. "Shefford, what do you think Nas Ta Bega said to me last night?" asked Withers in lower voice.
Quite different from the other plays. Robinson. Well, I don't mind horrors in fact, like them. There goes the bell. So I am off. Wait until I come back. Brown. That depends how long you are away. Ta, ta! Jones. Now, how a fellow can enjoy a piece like that, I cannot understand. It is full of murders, from the rise to the fall of the Curtain. Brown. Yes but ROBINSON likes that sort of thing.
Quite a week afterwards, during which time neither of the ta~nifa had been seen alive, the smaller of the two was found dead on the beach at Vailele Plantation, about four miles from the Vaivasa.
'But she shares my opinions, Sire. 'Ta, ta, ta, at her age one has no opinions. She has the emigre blood in her veins, and it will come out. Your marriage shall be my care, Monsieur de Laval. And I wish you to come to the Pont de Briques that you may be presented to the Empress. What is it, Constant? 'There is a lady outside who desires to see your Majesty. Shall I tell her to come later?
But for his very low voice, his slow speaking of the words, Shefford would have thought him a white man. For Shefford there was indeed an instinct in this meeting, and he turned to face the Navajo. "Withers told me you had been educated, that you came back to the desert, that you never showed your training.... Nas Ta Bega, did you understand all I told Withers?" "Yes," replied the Indian.
In all the instances I know of, these educated Indians returned to their tribes, repudiating the white man's knowledge, habits, life, and religion. I have heard that Nas Ta Bega came back, laid down the white man's clothes along with the education, and never again showed that he had known either. "You have just seen how strangely he acted. It's almost certain he heard our conversation.
Now if it wer' thee, Peggy, thou'd worrit, and better worrit; as if worritting wer' thy trade, and thou hed to work at it for thy victuals. Martha's none like that. Is ta going to thy class to-night?" "Nay, then, I'm not going." "I'd go if I was thee, Peggy. Thou'lt hev thysen to talk about there, and thou'lt not be tempted to say things about t' Cravens thou wont be able to stand up to."
"Na, na, she wullna leave ta Hieland hills for naught at a'." "Then she shall hae a siller crown for every month o' the year, Sandy." The poor, rude creature hardly knew how to say a "thanks;" but John saw it in his glistening eyes and heard it in the softly-muttered words, "She was ta only are tat e'er caret for Santy Beg." It was a solemn day in Stromness when he went to the gallows.
Withers talked about the canyon, the Indians, the mustangs, the scorpions running out of the heated sand; and to Shefford it was all like a fascinating book. Nas Ta Bega smoked in silence, his brooding eyes upon the fire. Shefford was awakened next morning by a sound he had never heard before the plunging of hobbled horses on soft turf.
There'll be a blessing in t' bottom o' it, never fear. I'm nobbut standing as a bairn does wi' a cup o' medicine; and when a thing is hard to take, its nobbut human nature to say it's none nice." "I am come to say 'good-bye' Martha; I don't want to leave you in tears." "Nay then is ta! Surely to goodness thou isn't going in t' dead o' winter?" "Yes. We leave Hallam to-morrow." "Then bide a bit.
