"Take this fearful thing from my lips."
'A whole Indian dress for me! Now I can play Namioka, if the boys act Metamora, added Josie, clapping her hands. 'A buffalo's head for Bess! Good gracious, Dan, why did you bring such a horrid thing as that to her? asked Nan. 'Thought it would do her good to model something strong and natural.
However, I was not then aware that I was so distinguished a guest, as indeed neither I nor Mr. Hughes would have been had we not been in the company of Kit Carson.

The old sailor who had cut open the shark stood with a foot on each side, and removed the articles one by one from the huge cavern into which they had been indiscriminately drawn.

He has swallowed a buffalo; but he could not disgest the hide!"
"Gozo is determined that the lion shan't benefit, even if he escapes the buffalo's horns," observed Denis. "Let's keep out of the way, and we shall see what will next happen."
After watching them, and taking the measure of their characters, he would one day get a buffalo's front foot and ornament it fantastically with feathers. When the time came, he would call one of his daughters to him and say to her: "Now I wish you to stand here in front of me and look me straight in the eye without laughing. No matter what I may do, do not laugh."
