His breathing was fast, though not from exertion, and pointing back he hurriedly whispered: "Efaw Kotee there! Lady, too! Me see!" Sylvia there! I bounded up as though some one had sent a galvanic current through my body, exclaiming: "Good Lord! How far, Smilax? Come quick, let's go!" He answered each of my exclamations in sequence, a peculiarity he had: "Yes, Lord good. Two mile, maybe some more.
Their crafty scheme lay ready to be sprung when Efaw Kotee we will call him that had to kidnap the princess in self-defense.
Echochee, supremely content to have found Doloria, remained at her side. Four of the attacking party had escaped and might well have returned to their houses. We favored the theory, too, that Efaw Kotee had remained there, expecting his band to capture us; so, if the fugitives were with him, they could by now have prepared a formidable resistance.
Don't call that fellow your father again, or even Mr. Graham. Smilax and I have a name we'll share with you." "What?" "Efaw Kotee." Her laughter rippled through the wood, as she cried: "How perfectly lovely! I know what it means!" "Then you speak Seminole, Miss Miss but you say it isn't Sylvia?" An expression of happy mischief in her face made it adorable. "No, it isn't Sylvia.
Jess laughed. "Shut up, you clown," the old chief turned on him. "Clown yourself," the captain snarled. "I'll have you know I won't take any of your lip!" "Then I back out of our bargain, that's all!" "If you say that again I'll twist off your palsied head with these two hands," Jess held them under Efaw Kotee's nose and wriggled his fingers, until the old man shrank back, cowering.
"Then Efaw Kotee want to know why kill guard on mainland." "That's so. But, Smilax, suppose we hide the guards?" He thought a moment over this, but finally shook his head. "No good. Then Efaw Kotee say guard run off with Lady, so he come back 'cross prairie same as up and down shore. That make our chance ve'y bad. No. They find men dead, then hunt quick through forest up beach; maybe down beach.
I found her again, sitting on a fallen log and gazing wistfully across the prairie toward the east, not back in the direction of Efaw Kotee's den, and I felt that she was thinking of Azuria her Azuria. What visions its existence must have opened to her, whose life had been always passionate after dreams and utterly bored with realities! Yet what were her dreams?
After examining it minutely, he sprawled over and prepared to open it by listening for the little metal tumblers to fall into their notches while he slowly turned the combination knob. Tommy, I guessed at once, had neatly anticipated this after seeing him try it on the big safe in Efaw Kotee's house and hearing his boast that he could have accomplished it in time.
"Cook fire smell," he said, rather pityingly that I should have overlooked this obvious fact. "Me go see; get good wood." Then, grinning broadly, he added: "Maybe Efaw Kotee somewhere."
But soon Efaw Kotee reappeared, this time with another man, and Smilax became excited. "Look," he whispered. "Him name Jess. Him bust Smilax head!" It was the fellow who had drawn back when Tommy and Monsieur went to the gambling rooms, but now without his uniform he seemed coarser and more cruel. "That makes ten, all told," I whispered. "Whole lot," was the black's only comment.
