An't it worth tryin', any how? If we could catch him, and get him to Ameriky alive, or only his skeleton, my fortune's made, I cal'late. I kind o' can't think that young fellow's been a gullin' me. He talks as though he'd seen the awful big critters with his own eyes. So do the other six fellows they couldn't all of 'em have been dreamin'."
Ghita's glance was kind, rather than reproachful; but it was profoundly sorrowful. "In what can our religion differ," she asked, "if we are both Christians? Americans or Italians, it is all the same." "That comes of knowing nothing about Ameriky," said Ithuel, filled with the conceit of his own opinion of himself and of the part of the world from which he came.
