"I am like Rebecca at the well. Drink, Eleazer," she cried, gaily. John looked on.
"And now, Deerslayer," said Judith, "we may talk of yourself, and of the means of getting you out of the hands of the Hurons. Any part, or all of what you have seen in the chest, will be cheerfully given by me and Hetty to set you at liberty." "Well, that's gin'rous, yes, 'tis downright free-hearted, and free-handed, and gin'rous.
