Bartram states that in Florida he only appears after the savannas have been on fire, when he is seen to pass over the ground amidst the black ashes, hunting for and devouring the snakes and lizards that have been killed by the fire.
You owe your distinction, my dear, to that line of circumvallation which has, ever since your birth, intercepted all civilisation on its way to Bartram. You are much obliged, Milly, to everybody who, whether naturally or un-naturally, turned a sod in that invisible, but impenetrable, work.
If I've been 'watching' with you, as we long ago agreed I was to do, watching's always in itself an absorption." "Oh certainly," John Marcher said, "if you hadn't had your curiosity ! Only doesn't it sometimes come to you as time goes on that your curiosity isn't being particularly repaid?" May Bartram had a pause.

This was all built of white stone, resembling that of Caen, which parts of Derbyshire produce in such abundance. So this was Bartram, and here was Uncle Silas.
Milfort, Tastanegy ou grand chef de guerre de la nation Creck et General de Brigade au service de la République Française." Paris, 1802. Writing in 1781, he said Mobile contained about forty proprietary families, and was "un petit paradis terrestre." Bartram, 407. Magazine of American History, IV., 388.

Adair, Bartram. Bartram. "A Sketch of the Creek Country," Benjamin Hawkins. In Coll. Ga. Hist. Soc. Written in 1798, but not published till fifty years afterwards. Do, p. 33. The use of the word "beloved" by the Creeks was quite peculiar. It is evidently correctly translated, for Milfort likewise gives it as "bien aimé."
AFTER placing the second cover, Magdalen awaited the ringing of the dinner-bell, with an interest and impatience which she found it no easy task to conceal. The return of Mr. Bartram would, in all probability, produce a change in the life of the house; and from change of any kind, no matter how trifling, something might be hoped.
