Chased me about a hundred miles ! An' thought you'd fool me, didn't you? Why, I've treed more bears than you ever saw ! You needn't look at me like thet, 'cause I'm mad as a hornet. I'm agoin' to assassinate you in a minnit an' skin your black har off, I am " "Bill," interrupted Haught, "what are you goin' to do about the other two bears up in the top of the tree?"
As we rode on Romer naively asked me if ever in my life I had seen anything run so fast as that deer. We entered another big grove with thin patches of thicket here and there. Haught said these were good places for deer to lie down, relying on their noses to scent danger from windward, and on their eyes in the other direction. We circled to go round thickets, descending somewhat into a swale.
But tired as I was that night I still had enthusiasm enough to visit Haught's camp, and renew acquaintance with the hounds. Haught had not been able to secure more than two new hounds, and these named Rock and Buck were still unknown quantities. Old Dan remembered me, and my heart warmed to the old gladiator.
"Wal, wal, I shore am glad to see you," he replied, with a keen flash in his hazel eyes and a smile on his craggy face. "I reckoned you'd make it. How are you? Look sort of fagged." "Just about all in, Haught," I replied, as we shook hands. Then Copple appeared, swaggering out of the aspens. He was the man I met in Payson and who so kindly had made me take his rifle.
"Put that tomfoolery down, Cora, and listen to me, both of you! This is Wednesday. We leave London for Liverpool on Friday morning, and sail from Liverpool for New York on Saturday. So you sent that man to me, mistress?" "Yes, sir," without looking up. "For my consent to a marriage with him!" "Yes, sir!" "Then the fellow did not mistake your meaning! Cora Haught!
"Regulas Rothsay; he is not a duke; he is a printer; also a senator, and nominated for governor of his native State; sure to be elected, and then he is to marry my granddaughter, who has been engaged to him many years." "But Miss Haught certainly authorized me to ask her hand of you." When did this extraordinary acceptance take place?" "Yesterday evening, at Lady Netherby's ball." "After supper?"
When I am not working I live in dreams, partly of the past, but mostly of the future. A man should live only in the present. I gave Lee instructions to go about in his own way buying teams, saddle horses, and wagons. For Christmas I sent him a .35 Remington rifle. Mr. Haught got instructions to add some new dogs to his pack. I sent Edd also a .35 Remington, and made Nielsen presents of two guns.
There can be no school law against your uncle writing to you." Cora Haught graduated when she was eighteen. In all these years she had not seen Rule Rothsay. She only heard from him through his letters to her Uncle Clarence, reported second hand to herself.
Haught had described this country as a "wolf" to travel. He used that word to designate anything particularly tough. We found the ridge covered with a dense forest, in places a matted jungle of pine saplings. These thickets were impenetrable. Heavy snows had bent the pines so that they grew at an angle.
And he that had erst challenged to be so doughty waxed wan as they might all mark and shrank together and his pitch that was before so haught uplift was now of a sudden quite plucked down and his heart shook within the cage of his breast as he tasted the rumour of that storm.
