That might be easy to make but it would be inconvenient to wear. A blanket does not require much tailoring, but none of us could get much work done if we went around Indian-fashion in blankets. Real simplicity means that which gives the very best service and is the most convenient in use.
Lying there without speaking a word, even in a whisper, the determined men and the brave little Cayuse waited for developments. Soon the band of savage horse-thieves arrived at a kind of little hollow in the trail, about an eighth of a mile from the door of the station. They got off their animals and, Indian-fashion, commenced to crawl toward the corral.
"I'm game for anything, so long as we can get out of the beaten way," replied Fremont. "I've felt all the way down that we were being followed. Anyway," he continued, more cheerfully, "I shall enjoy the sight of a mountain campfire again. We don't have to take any matches with us. I can build a fire, Indian-fashion, with dry sticks and a cord.
"Had to feed 'em and have 'em ready for to-morrow night. If we don't find the document here, we'll screw its hiding-place out of that dirty greaser if we have to use a cord on his head Indian-fashion. Anyway it ought to be about this office. Martinez didn't know you had learned about it from Saurez. He'd never let go a paper like that until he had to." "I think you're right there," Vorse said.
Their wigwam was all by itself, and the next neighbor was so far off that he was not their neighbor at all, but that of some other folks. One night the old women made up a fire, and lay down and went to sleep Indian-fashion, witkusoodijik, heads and points, so that both could lie with their back to the fire.
Anne now began to complain of hunger, and Edward said he would give her a treat, Indian-fashion, to celebrate their arrival into, as he facetiously said, an Indian palace! "But what can you give? We brought nothing with us; besides we have been out quite as long as we ought to, and had better return immediately." "Oh, no; we have not.

"Good morning to you, Fortunata. How are you?" "All right. But Maria Antonia's got the curse today and her belly's aching something fierce." She sat Indian-fashion, with bent knees, huddling hip to hip against Panchita. "I've got no laurel leaves, honey," Remigia answered, pausing a moment in her work to push a mop of hair back from over her sweaty forehead.
Sitting Indian-fashion on mattresses or cushions of bearskin, with just enough to do gently to interest the mind, with no anxiety or thought even about the future, they would loiter listlessly through the long hours of the summer days. Occasionally two or three Indians, on a hunting excursion, would visit the cabin. These Indians were invariably friendly.
When she had seated herself on the pile of blankets they had arranged for her, Josephine looked across at Philip, squatted Indian-fashion opposite her, and smiled apologetically. "I'm afraid your opinion of me isn't getting better," she said. "I'm not much of a a sport to let you men get supper by yourselves, am I? You see I'm taking advantage of my birthday."
