"I doesn't do nottings I doesn't do nottings; it's my wife, my good Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock, dat does it all. She's a very nice squaw, de same shape all de way down." These concessions and compliments greatly soothed the feelings of the incensed spouse. She scolded her husband no more. "What you going to do, my dear frau?" he asked, in a voice as cooing and winning as a dove's.
"See who?" asked Hans Vanderbum, in turn, completely at a loss to understand him. "De gal." "De gal? Who you talking about Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock?" "De gal Shawnees got in de village."
Added to this, Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock at night laid herself directly before this entrance, compelling Hans Vanderbum to lie down beside her, so that their united width was some four or five feet rather too long a step to be taken by the girl without danger of awaking her jailers.
"What will become of them?" repeated Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock, her voice rising higher and higher at each word. "Who is it that supports them now and takes care of them? Who is it that does that? Who is it " "It's you it's you," replied her husband, seeing the mistake he had made.
"I don't know about that, Oonomoo; I think it couldn't be much worse; for Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock has got a bad temper, if she is the same shape all the way down." "It is good, my brother. We will have the captive when the sun comes up again in the sky." "How are you going to get her?" "Give Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock this drug," said the Huron, handing him a dark, waxy substance.
Twan't so bad arter all," added Hans Vanderbum, musingly, "'cause if it wasn't for dat I wouldn't got my Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock." "How soon go back?" asked Oonomoo. "To de village, do you mean?" "Yeh." "Any time afore noon will does, so Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock gits de fish for our dinner."
He was an inveterate smoker and sleeper; and, beyond doubt, was perfectly content in his situation. Having been taken a prisoner some years before, and adopted into this branch of the Shawnee tribe, he was offered the hand of Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock in marriage, and accepted it at once, totally forgetful of his first love, which had been the beautiful inmate of the Hunter's Cabin.
"I's gettin' shleepy," suddenly exclaimed Hans Vanderbum. "Take gum?" "Yaw; took much as Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock." "Git sleep soon go back don't wake up." "Yaw, I will." And before any one could speak, Hans was lumbering through the bushes and woods on his way back to his lodge, fearful that if he delayed he would fall asleep.
