This was designed as a sign of attention, or of approval, or the contrary, but it was difficult to the English to determine in any case which.
"You and your band are here safe, I perceive; and by ! you have timed it well, too, for we have only headed you by half an hour." "Ugh!" grunted Wild-cat, with that look and gutteral sound peculiar to the Indian. "Kitchokema has learned Peshewa is here!"

Not hearing what I was or what I might do, they were ordered to maintain this strict attitude. Every eye was fastened on me. Some of the nobility were pale with fear; others were busy inquiring whence I came and where I had been captured. At length the chief official made a gutteral sound.
"But I couldn't help it.... I was once a member here." "Indeed?" said the spectacled man, tentatively cordial, still inquiring.
