Have an offer of a position in St. Louis that I can't very well refuse. Will write you from there. "Love and kisses. Ba'tiste slapped the reins on the horse's back. "She is like the Judas, eh?" he asked quietly, and Houston cringed with the realization that he had spoken the truth. Judas!
While she went out again, after something she had forgotten, one of the Frenchmen whispered bashfully to Pennington, who was Francis's assistant. He smiled his slow, half-mocking, half-kindly smile, and passed it on to Francis. "Ba'tiste says that he wonders if the lady would sit down and eat with us. Do you think she would, Ellison? It's a long time since any of us had a lady keep house for us."
The old trapper's voice was stinging with sarcasm. "They nev' fin' heem. But the woman she was in a taxi. Ah, oui. She could pass, just at the moment. She could put in the mind of the jury the fact that there was a quarrel, while she preten' to help M'sieu Houston. But the taxi-driver no, they nev' fin' heem!" "Let's wait, Ba'tiste." "Oh ah, oui."
He knew to a certainty that there was no priest in Tabernacle, and what his story would be when he got there was a little more than he could hazard. To Ba'tiste, he would tell the truth; to others, there must simply be some fabrication that would hold for the moment and that would allow him to go on while Ba'tiste But suddenly he ceased his plans.
Houston broke into a run, racing along the flume with constantly increasing speed as he heard outburst after outburst from the giant trapper, interjected by the lesser sounds of argumentative voices in reply. Faintly he heard a woman's voice, then Ba'tiste's in sudden command: "Go on you no belong here. Ba'tiste, he handle this. Go 'long!"
They forced a window and climbed into the little general merchandise establishment, simply because it was easier than striving to get in through the door. Then, armed with their shovels, they began the work of tunneling to the station. Two hours later, the agent once more at his dead key, Ba'tiste turned to Houston. "Eet is the no use here," he announced.
I was going to send them over by him. But I didn't have anything to do, so I just thought I'd bring them myself." "Thanks for that, anyway. Can't I keep them just the same to put on the table or something?" "Oh, if you care to." Barry felt that she was truly disappointed that he wasn't at the point of death, or at least somewhere near it. "Where's Ba'tiste."
There were several persons in my office at the time. He resented the statement and we quarreled. They heard it and later testified." Houston halted, tongue licking at dry lips. Medaine still gave no indication that she had heard. Ba'tiste, his knit cap still crushed in his big hands, moved forward. "Go on."
It rather matched her hair and the tilt of her nose and the tone of her laugh as she answered: "I would say you carried him more like a sack of meal, Ba'tiste. I'm glad I happened along when I did; you might have thrown him over your shoulder!" A booming laugh answered her and the sound of a light scuffle, as though the man were striving to catch the girl in his big embrace.
But he found himself looking after them, wondering about many things, about the girl and her interest in Fred Thayer, and whether she too might be a part of the machinery which he felt had been set up against him; about the big, grinning Ba'tiste, who still remained in the room; who now was fumbling about with the bedclothes at the foot of the bed and "Ouch! Don't don't do that!"
