She was trying to appear unconcerned, but it was plain to see that her unconcern was too deep to be genuine, and it moved Calumet to malevolent sarcasm. "Nothin' is botherin' you this mornin', I reckon?" he said to her once when he caught her looking at him. "Clear conscience, eh?" he added as she flushed. "What should bother me?" she asked, looking straight at him.
Quickly Calumet placed both hands on the young man's shoulders and shoved him back against the bar, thrusting his own body between him and Taggart. "Easy there," he warned in a whisper. "He's my meat." Dade caught the mirthless smile on his lips and looked at him curiously, his attitude still belligerent. "He's talkin' about Betty, the damned skunk!" he objected.
Stuart, which he had the kindness to send us from his post at Pierre au Calumet, after he had learned that ours had been rendered useless, I observed the temperature, at noon, on the 25th of June, to be 63°. On the following morning we made an excursion, accompanied by Mr.
We tooke the tayle of the eagle, and instead of it we hung 12 Iron bows in the same manner as the feathers weare, and a blade about it along the staffe, a hattchett planted in the ground, and that calumet over it, and all our armours about it uppon forks. Every one smoaked his pipe of tobacco, nor they never goe without it. During that while there was a great silence.
And when she heard the black come into the ranchhouse yard she knew the black's gait already she trembled a little, put aside her mending, and went to the window. The moon threw a white light in the yard, and she saw Calumet dismount.
"Well, Vic," said Mr Ravenshaw, with a puzzled look, "it's a strange way of taking his revenge of me. But after all, when I look at him there, sucking away at his calumet with that pleased, grave face, I can't help thinkin' that you and I, Christians though we call ourselves, have something to learn from the savage. I've been mistaken, Vic, in my opinion of Petawanaquat.
Five minutes after leaving the kitchen of the ranchhouse Calumet stood beside the rotted rails of the corral fence near the stable, frowning, fully conscious that he had been worsted in the verbal battle just ended. He was filled with a disagreeable sense of impotence; he felt small, mean, cheap, and uncomfortable, and was oppressed with indecision.
"Down through the ages vast On wings strong and true, From great Wa-kon-da comes Good will to you Peace that shall here remain." At the close of the calumet ceremony the girls immediately drew closer together about the fire, making ready for an informal discussion.
Calumet felt that it would be useless to question her and so he leaned back in his chair and regarded her saturninely. "Soon after your father became afflicted with his last sickness," continued Betty; "he called me to him and took me into his confidence. He talked to me about you about the way he had treated you.
"Killin' time," he told Dade. But it was plain to Dade, as it was to Betty, who had spoken but little to him in a week, that Calumet was filled with speculation and impatience over the temporary inaction. The work of repairing the buildings was all done. There was nothing now to do except to await the appearance of some cattle.
