Down he sat in front o' the fireplace, an' after some palaver an' a pipe for your Injuns'll never tell all they've got to say at once he tells Macdonell that there was a dark plot hatchin' agin' him that Hawk, a big rascal of his own tribe, had worked upon a lot o' reptiles like hisself, an' they had made up their minds to come an' massacre everybody at the Fort, and carry off the goods.
Solomon used to say that he had been "hooked by the love o' money an' et up by land hunger." "You'll have to git away from The Long House," Solomon said to Scott. "One reason I come here was to tell ye." "What makes ye think so?" Scott asked. "The Injuns'll hug ye when they're drunk but they'll hate ye when they're sober," Solomon answered.
"I hope next time you come this way you'll be alive an' well; but I'm dreadful afeard the Injuns'll git ye." The latter remark seemed to have more effect upon her husband than Tom, for the flush disappeared from his cheeks again.
"You say they know that you got away, Hoppy?" he asked. "All right Lanky!" he shouted. "Lanky!" "All right, Buck!" and Lanky Smith roughly pushed his way through the crowd to his foreman's side. "Here I am." "Take Skinny and Pete with you, an' a lead horse apiece. Strike straight for Powers' old ranch house. Them Injuns'll have pickets out looking for Hoppy's friends.
But there 'll be plenty of real fighting expeditions in the woods and Injun skirmishes, for you'll be sure that the Injuns'll join in, some on one side and some on the other; it aint in their nature to sit still in their villages while powder's being burned. A few months of this work will make a man of him, and he might have a worse teacher than Peter Lambton.
Besides, it's twenty miles to the nearest town, and the Injuns'll be on us long before anybody could get to town and bring back help, even supposin' the Injuns didn't pot him before he got fairly started. O' course, we couldn't do anythin' before dark, nohow." "Don't you think they'll attack before that?" asked Dick.
