"What does she say, Mrs. Morris? Can you hear?" "She says they're singing 'your hymn' down in a church under the hill." "Ah yes." He beamed and nodded to Ruth; but when Mrs. Morris once more laughed, his brow clouded a trifle.

"I want you boys to remember one thing," she said firmly, "and that is that there must be no more shooting going on around here. It isn't only what Baumberger thinks I don't know as ho's got anything to say about it it's what I think.
The old chief ceased, amid many "ho's!" and "hoo's!" with the air of one who has propounded an unanswerable riddle, and all eyes were at once turned upon Nazinred. Accepting the challenge at once he stretched forth his hand: "My father has spoken," he said, "but his words are not the words of wisdom.
The speaker turned to the Young Doctor. "Pills, what d'you get when you change your diet sudden-like scurvy, or something awful, don't you?" "Hiccoughs." The Surgeon dragged his soul from the depths of a frayed Winning Post and looked up. His face brightened. "Why? Anyone here " "No, no, that's all right, my merry leech.

Okematan's voice increased in fervour, and he put the finishing question with an intensity that called forth a chorus of "Waughs!" and "Ho's!" with a glittering of eyes, and a significant grasping of scalping-knives and tomahawks that rendered further reply needless. "Would you not scorn us," he continued, "scalp us, tear out our eyes, roast us alive? but no the Cree Nation loves not cruelty.
