Seeing a large brush on a dresser, I took it up, and was about to brush my nether habiliments, which were terribly bespattered with half-dried mire.
There was a dark, half-dried stain upon the front of her bodice. "I'm dying! Oh, Katie, it's so dreadful all alone there. Will you go and bring Will to me? Oh, do." Katrine looked down upon her as she tried to raise her to her feet. The fire was still burning brightly and filled the room with light.
The color was deeper on her cheeks, and the brightness of half-dried tears glistened in her eyes; her step was more hasty, all her movements were quicker than usual. "I bring news, my dears, which will surprise you," she said, addressing her daughters. "Your father and I are going to London to-morrow." Magdalen caught her mother by the arm in speechless astonishment.
It was noon before the work was finished, for the new chain and a new belt to the pump had to be put on, and many little things done which consumed time. At two o'clock we left Troy. The road to Schenectady in good weather is quite good, but after the rain it was heavy with half-dried mud and deep with ruts.
I was young, in love, and angry, and before those qualifications difficulties became light. Meanwhile, the first essential was breakfast of some kind. I arose, stretched, put on my half-dried clothes, and mounting a low hummock on the forest edge looked around. The sun was riding up finely into the sky, and the sea to the eastward shone for leagues and leagues in the loveliest azure.
Pushed and jostled ahead of them were four Indians decked and feathered, the half-dried scalps dangling from their belts, impassive, true to their creed despite the indignity of jolts and jars and blows. On and on pressed the mob, gathering recruits at every corner, and when they reached St. Xavier's before the fort half the regiment was there.
For a time the scalp-knife was crimsoned, the stake was charred, bands stole in single file over mountains and among half-dried streams; troups of the regular army were assaulted by invisible foes, and forts were threatened.
Through the door opening to a room beyond, a woman could be seen, moving briskly, and the smell of cooking floated out. They sniffed at it hungrily. The woman came to the door. "Hurry up, boys everything's done to death!" They came in hastily, with half-dried hands, and she looked at them a laugh in her round, keen face. "You have had a day!" she said.
Once I lay at a path near a water hole in the pocket of a half-dried stream, and killed two buffalo cows. Here was abundant work for more than two days, cutting, drying, scraping, feasting. Life began to run keen in our veins, in spite of all. I heard her sing, that day, saw her smile. Now our worldly goods were increasing, so I cut down two lodge poles and made a little travois for the dog.
Wilhelm bowed distantly, waved his hand to Nicolas, approached the chimney-piece, took the half-dried cloaks on his arm, tossed a coin on the table and, holding in his hands a covered cage in which several birds were fluttering, left the room. The baron gazed after him in silence. The simple words and the young man's departure aroused painful emotions.
