You! exclaimed Marmaduke, comprehending in an instant how completely he had been caught by the others cunning; and what have you to say, sir? I some think that Natty Bumppo has the carcass of a deer in his hut at this moment, and a considerable part of my business was to get a search-warrant to examine.
He therefore interrupted this amicable dialogue with his own voice; I command you Nathaniel Bumppo, by my authority, to surrender your person to the law, he cried. And I command you, gentlemen, to aid me in performing my duty. Benjamin Penguillan I arrest you, and order you to follow me to the jail of the county, by virtue of this warrant.
He said that Natty Bumppo had lived most of his life in the woods and among the Indians, by which means he had formed an acquaintance with old John, the Delaware chief. Indeed! that was quite a matter-of-fact tale for Cousin Dickon. What came next?

Had Cooper enjoyed the best scholastic advantages which the schools and colleges of Europe could have furnished, they could not have fitted him for the work he was destined to do so well as the apparently untoward elements we have above adverted to; for Natty Bumppo was the fruit of his woodland experience, and Long Tom Coffin of his sea-faring life.
You have heard the presentment that the grand jury have made, Nathaniel Bumppo, said the Judge; what do you plead to the charge?
Bumppo we are called, and I've heard it said " a touch of human vanity glowing on his cheek, "that the time has been when the Bumppos had more standing and note among mankind than they have just now."
Were Natty Bumppo, Henry March, and Henry March, Natty Bumppo, I might think the name of March better than it is; or were he, you, I should fancy the name of Bumppo horrible!" "That's just it yes, that's the reason of the matter.
