"So I told the Sergeant; but he would have it otherwise. I knew you was too young and beautiful for one of middle age, like myself, and who never was comely to look at even in youth; and then your ways have not been my ways; nor would a hunter's cabin be a fitting place for one who was edicated among chiefs, as it were. If I were younger and comelier though, like Jasper Eau-douce "
I don't wish to flurry the young woman, and therefore I will be in no way particular, though she seems pretty much listening to Eau-douce, as we call him; but without the edication I have received, I should think it at this very moment, a risky journey to go over the very ground that lies between us and the garrison, in the present state of this frontier.
"This is not well done, Master Jasper!" angrily exclaimed Cap, as soon as he perceived the trick which had been played him; "this is not well done, sir. I order you to cut, and to beach the cutter without a moment's delay." No one, however, seemed disposed to comply with this order; for so long as Eau-douce saw fit to command, his own people were disposed to obey.
No, no, neither my father nor myself think anything of such opinions. My uncle Cap, if he spoke openly, would be found to have even a worse notion of a soldier than of a sailor who never saw the sea." "But your father, Mabel, has a better opinion of soldiers than of any one else? he wishes you to be the wife of a soldier?" "Jasper Eau-douce! I the wife of a soldier! My father wishes it!
"I thank you, June, for this preference, which is not according to the notion of us white women," returned Mabel, smiling in spite of the fearful situation in which she was placed; "but I may not, probably never shall, marry at all." "Must have good husband," said June; "marry Eau-douce, if don't like Arrowhead."
But if Pathfinder be gone, Eau-douce can speak French too. You know Eau-douce; shall I run and bring him to talk with you?" "Eau-douce gone too, all but heart; that there." As June said this, she laughed again; looked in different directions, as if unwilling to confuse the other, and laid her hand on Mabel's bosom.
That is a matter to be repented of, and I tell it to you, because truth, in such a case, ought to be spoken." "My errors are dearly paid for, brother; and poor Mabel, I fear, will be the sufferer. I think, however, that the calamity would not have happened had there not been treason. I fear me, brother, that Jasper Eau-douce has played us false."
He was going towards the sun at evening in order to seek his wigwam; but, finding that the young sailor was going the other way, he turned that he might look in the same direction. Eau-douce and Arrowhead were together on the last trail." "This may all be true, Tuscarora, and you are welcome. You shall eat of our venison, and then we must separate.
At all events, you can speak, and I can judge of your opinions, agreeably to my own experience." "I think, sir, before two hours are over, the cutter will have to anchor." "Anchor! not out here in the lake?" "No, sir; but in yonder, near the land." "You do not mean to say, Master Eau-douce, you would anchor on a lee shore in a gale of wind?"
Pathfinder now led the young man apart; and, squeezing his hand, with the tears in his own eyes, he continued: "You know me, Eau-douce, and I know you," said he, "and this news has not changed my opinion of you in any manner. I never believed their tales, though it looked solemn at one minute, I will own; yes, it did look solemn, and it made me feel solemn too.
