He can climb trees, run, and leap, though he is less than I am. He must be my friend." "And Canda," said Elizabeth, "shall be our assistant and friend." She gave her hand to Canda, I did the same, and caressed the boy, who seemed delighted with me, and, to my great surprise, spoke to me in very good German the mother, too, knew several words of the language.
"'It was the white lady, said he, 'who taught me this; she teaches Canda and Minou-minou, whose life she saved, and whom she is bringing up to be good like herself. "I had a great desire," continued Mr. Willis, "to become acquainted with my powerful assistant in the great work of my mission.
I was just telling Mr. Lord here that I consider the house a triumph." From McKibben, who was in society, and with Lord, another "in" standing by, this was like wine to Aileen. She beamed joyously. Among the first arrivals were Mrs. Webster Israels, Mrs. Bradford Canda, and Mrs. Walter Rysam Cotton, who were to assist in receiving.
I have since learnt from Canda, that part of them landed at the Great Bay, with instructions to search that side of the island for inhabitants, whilst the rest proceeded with the canoe to examine the other side, and had succeeded but too well. The night came on, and they were anxious to return, which, doubtless, prevented them pillaging our house.
Then seating himself on the box by the side of the coachman, he said to the latter, addressing him in Italian, "Lo canda d'Ingleterra," which is the Italian for Hotel d'Angleterre, or, as we should express it in our language, "The English Hotel." The coachman drove on, and in a few minutes came to the hotel. "Yes," said Rollo, as soon as he came in sight of it. "Yes, this is the very place."
She pointed to me and to herself, as she pronounced the words, and he readily comprehended them, and said to us, with bursts of laughter, showing his large ivory teeth, Canda, mother; Minou-minou, son; Parabéry, father; white lady, mother. Mamma thought he referred to her, but it was to Madame Emily.
Stopping for a moment to raise and encourage her, he lost sight of the bear, and could not recover the track. All the night, that dreadful night of rain, when I was weeping and murmuring, thinking myself the most unfortunate of women, was Canda exposed, without clothes, to that frightful storm, hopelessly seeking her only child, and not even feeling that it did rain.
Bradford Canda had asked her, in what seemed a very significant way, whether she had ever met her friend Mrs. Schuyler Evans, of Philadelphia. This frightened Aileen. "Don't you suppose they must know, some of them, about us?" she asked Cowperwood, on the way home. "I suppose so," he replied, thoughtfully. "I'm sure I don't know. I wouldn't worry about that if I were you.
Parabéry only asked and obtained the skins, to recompense him for the loss of his son. They returned home in triumph, Canda following them with bitter cries, tearing her face with a shark's tooth. From observation of these circumstances, I concluded that Canda must be the mother of my little protégé.
Canda taught my daughter to make beautiful baskets, some, of a flat form, served for our plates and dishes. Parabéry made us knives from sharp stones. My daughters, in return, taught Canda to sew. At the time of our shipwreck we had, each of us, in her pocket, a morocco housewife, with a store of needles and thread. By means of these we had mended our linen, and we now made dresses of palm-leaves.
