Great numbers of the Indians from the falls and both above and below. none of them appeared anxious to part with their horses but told me that Several were Comeing from the plains about 1 or 2 P M. and laid by 2 parcels of merchindize and told me that they had Sent for their horses. among other Tribes was those of the Skad-datts who bantered the Skillutes to play with them at a Singular Kind of game which was Soon Made up and 9 of aside Sat down they were Some time making up their bets of Beeds, brass thimbles or tubes robes &c. &c. when the bets were all made up the nine on each Side took opposides faceing each other at the distance of about 12 feet. in front of each party was placed a long pole on which they Struck with a Stick and Sung. they made use of 2 Small pices of bone in this form and Size a bone was given to 2 men of the Same party who changed it from hand to hand with great dexterity one hand above the other looking down, and when he was ready for the opposit party to guess he Seperated his hands Swinging them around the breast looking at the opposit party who waved their hand to the Side the bone was in. if the opposit party guessed the hand of each man the bone was given to them. if neither it was nothing. if they guessed one which they might single out if they pleased they recived his bone, and lost on the other as they hapened to fail in guessing the also lose one if they fail guessing both The game is plaid at different numbers & each party has 5 sticks.
His next move was to rake out a pile of the red coals, a feat he performed with the stick, and upon these he placed the pot. Also he removed the other pot from the fire, leaving it, however, quite close. "Well, all eyes?" he bantered, suddenly staring at her. "Didn't I say I'd surprise you?" "Don't mind me. This is about the happiest and most bewildered moment of my life," replied Carley.
"From what Calderwell says," he bantered, "I should judge that there are plenty of sighing swains who are only too ready to give you a home and now." The pink deepened in Billy's cheeks. "I said closets and a piazza, dirt to dig, and a furnace to shake," she retorted merrily. "I didn't say I wanted a husband." "And you don't, of course," interposed William, decidedly.
"You're not crying, dearest witch, are you?" he asked her. "Yes, I am," Damaris said. "What else is there left for me to do? Everyone I care for I seem to make unhappy. Everything I do goes wrong. Everything I touch gets broken and spoilt somehow." "Endless tragedies of little green jade elephants?" he gently bantered her. "Yes endless. For now I have hurt you.
"Too bad, eh?" bantered Blake. "But you mustn't blame yourself. You did your best. But accidents will happen." "Then you're you're not Yet you look " "Appearances often deceive," quoted Blake lightly. "You gave me a great start-off had me going South. So I went." "Going South?" "Yes. But that's all by-the-bye, as my friend, the Right Honorable the Earl of Avondale, would say.
The Sagamore sat up in his blanket, wearing that half-irritated, half-shamed expression always to be seen on an Indian's countenance when cannon are fired. An Indian has no stomach for artillery, and hates sight and sound of the metal monsters. For a few moments I bantered him sleepily, then dropped back into my blanket. What cared I for their insolent morning gun! I snapped my fingers at it.
"I was crying because my foot hurts so and because I don't see how I'm going to get back to the ranch. I suppose they'll hunt me up if I stay away long enough but it's getting toward night, and I'm scared to death of coyotes, if you must know!" Ford laughed at her defiance, in the face of her absolute helplessness, more than at what she said. "And you tell me you don't need any help?" he bantered.
He bantered and then shoved a cigarette in his mouth. It jiggled in his chuckle. " Sort of. So, you ran away from work?" "Sort of." Tom grinned sheepishly. "We've still got a few minutes until the movie. I'd offer you a smoke but I probably shouldn't out here." "I had one a few minutes ago." "Oh, okay take off the sunglasses. Can't use them in there." Nathaniel pulled them up on his head.
She ain't neber yit done what I calcelated on." The next morning, after the doctor had dressed my wounds and bantered me to his heart's content, enters Mr. Marmaduke Manners. I was prodigiously struck by the change in him, and pitied him then near as much as I had once despised him. He was arrayed in finery, as of old.
Oliver did his best to interest Grace and me; and the Frau, though she did not talk very learnedly, talked away, and did her best to amuse us. Every now and then she turned on Mr Sedgwick and bantered him on his silence. Merlin went up to the seats which had usually been occupied by the absent ones and snuffed at them all round. Then he went and lay down in his usual place on a mat near the door.
