"No great harm done, after all," said Alexander; "God be praised: but here come the whole herd, Swinton." "Let them go, my good fellow," replied Swinton, "we have had enough of buffalo-hunting for the present."
She had allowed me three days for recuperation from the journey, and I had arrived on the eve of the buffalo-hunt. Naturally, I was too fatigued to rave over buffaloes, and I objected to joining the hunt; and I was encouraged in my objecting by the discovery that my brother was away on a scouting trip. "You don't think of going buffalo-hunting without Will, do you?" I asked May.
It was hinted that Kentucky was becoming too thickly settled for him deer becoming scarce, and bear hardly to be found and that his visit to Saint Louis had something to do with seeking a new "location" where these animals were still to be met with in greater plenty. The idea of buffalo-hunting was just to his liking.

"Well, because it's so like the parsons," pleaded Victor. "What then?
"No," said Diodora, "I was not speaking of the park hermitage. We have a chapel here in the château, and if we do not invite too many we shall have room enough." "I shall invite no one but a single witness as my best man." "But do not ask me to fill that position," said Siegfried; "for I am invited to go buffalo-hunting in Volhynia, and shall start to-morrow."
