"It mistook me for a honeysuckle, and gave me a peck to make sure." He smiled indulgently, and exhaled a long wreath of smoke from his nostrils. "Dear little humming-birds so simple and so harmless!" "And I've promised to be nice to THAT!" cried Evadna, in bitterness, and rushed past him to the porch.
Miss Georgie rose just as enthusiastically as if she had not seen Evadna slip from Huckleberry's back, fuddle the tie-rope into what looked like a knot, and step lightly upon the platform. She had kept her head down had Miss Georgie until the last possible second, because she was still being a fool and had permitted a page of her book to fog before her eyes.
That poor fellow as if he didn't have enough on his hands without this!" "I'm not on his hands! And I won't lie down!" Evadna jerked away from Miss Georgie, and confronted them both pantingly, her cheeks still wet with tears. "You act as if I don't know what I'm doing' and I DO know. If I should lie down for a MILLION YEARS, I'd feel just the same about it. I couldn't bear him to TOUCH me!
"And if Evadna didn't like it, she could do the other thing. It does seem as if girls like that are always having the trail smoothed down for them to dance their way through life, while other people climb over rocks mostly with packs on their shoulders that don't rightly belong to them."

Evadna was so impolite as to interrupt him. Good Indian was not skilled in the management of women, but he knew horses, and to his decision he added an amendment.
She stepped off the rug, went to the "express office," and took a card from the desk. When she had stood it upright behind the inkwell, Evadna read in large, irregular capitals: "OUT. WILL BE BACK LATER." Miss Georgie Howard paid no attention to the little giggle which went with the reading, but stepped across to the ticket desk and to the telegraph table, and put similar cards on display.
But Evadna could not have stuck closer to her rock if she had been glued there, and if she had been blind and deaf she would not have appeared more oblivious. Good Indian grew anxious, and then angry. The savage stirred within him, and counseled immediate and complete mastery of her his woman.
First he stooped and drank thirstily, his hat pushed back, while his lips met full the hurrying water, clear and cold, yet with the chill it had brought from the mountain springs which fed it, and as he lifted his head he looked full at her. Evadna stared stonily over him to where the water boiled fastest. He might have been one of the rocks, for all the notice she took of him.
