We even laughed at our hunger, which became keen about noon, as is always the case when one has nothing to eat; so we set out to explore the ridge for blackberries.

Toad wouldn't mind coming here by himself, would he? inquired the Mole. 'Old Toad? said the Rat, laughing heartily. 'He wouldn't show his face here alone, not for a whole hatful of golden guineas, Toad wouldn't.
"Lemme have a look," urged the grocer eagerly. "Not by a hatful. I'm an officer of the government. The secrets of the government must be guarded, I tell ye. There's six of them " "You don't say! Six letters?" interrupted the grocer. "No, gals. One's name is Elting. She's what they call a chaperon.
But the little bit of silver, with enigmatical characters stamped upon it, was worth nothing to the Indian. He declined the offer. Speaking a little broken English, he inquired, "You got any powder? You got any bullets?" Crockett told him he had. He promptly replied, "Me will swap my corn for powder and bullets." Eagerly the man gave a hatful of corn for ten bullets and ten charges of powder.
