"I am tired I must rest;" and she wanted to sit down on the edge of the ditch. "Not here in the blazing sun," he cautioned her; "we'll look out for the first juniper-bush we can find."
"We must just perjure ourselves all round," he said, "and swear you exorcised it;" but the man was too kind-hearted to be satisfied with that. "It's frightfully serious for you, Mortimer. I can't laugh as I should like to. I wish I saw a way out of it, for your sake. By the way," he added shortly, "didn't you notice that juniper-bush on the left-hand side?"
"It won't do with the best will in the world," he said, and then he sat down beneath the juniper-bush and dreamed how smart and elegant he would look if only he could afford a new coat.
So she only noticed the place and then went into the shrubbery to seek for plants. She gathered a few leaves of the dark-green shiutui, sauntered from juniper-bush to juniper-bush, glanced from time to time upward into the tops of pines to see whether they bore edible nuts of the kind now called piñons, or threw stones at the noisy birds that fluttered about.
Can you still say now that you have lost your home?" He pressed her hand, gratefully, but she pointed to the juniper-bush, which had struck them before. "Let us go there," she said, "lay your head on the mole-hill and whistle me something. Do you remember?" "I should think so!" "How long is it since then?" "Seventeen years."
Once in the shade of pines she looked around; the original object of her expedition returned to her mind, and she scanned with particular care the underbrush in hope of finding there the herbs on which she based the efficacy of her cures. It thundered audibly, but that was nothing to her. There, close to a juniper-bush, grew one of the coveted plants.
He was startled when she said that; he scarcely dared to follow out her thoughts. When they had reached the other side of the wood they separated. She went towards the White House and he went back. When he passed the juniper-bush where they had both been sitting all seemed to him like a dream, and henceforth it always remained so to him.
Both men sprang in opposite directions, like snakes darting through the grass. Each one concealed himself behind a bush. The branches rustled and cracked for a short space. The place around the fire was vacant; nothing remained but a dim streak of ruddy light. Tyope, after repelling the assault upon him, had taken refuge behind a low juniper-bush.
Instead of picking up the carcass she kicked it aside disdainfully, but took good care to notice whither so as to remember the place. It landed on a juniper-bush and remained suspended from its branches. Shotaye went onward carelessly.
"Are you sure you have noticed a man?" the Chayan asked in a whisper. "I am sure of it. He crouched at the foot of a juniper-bush," replied the messenger, positively. "Has he seen you?" demanded Tyope. "I believe not." "When you left was he there still?" "I could not see any more of him." "How far is it from here? Where stands the tree?" the Chayan asked.
