Willock said nothing, but the next time they came to a clump of blossoms he made a nosegay. Lahoma watched him with a face as calm and unemotional as that of Red Feather, himself. She held her back with the erect grace and moved her limbs with the swift ease of those among whom she had passed the last two years.
But other public lands were now scarce, or less inviting, and as far back as 1879, when Lahoma was five years old, colonies had formed in Kansas City, in Topeka and in Texas, to move upon the Oklahoma country. The United States troops had dispersed the "boomers," but in the following year the indefatigable Payne succeeded in leading a colony into the very heart of the coveted land.
She took it from Mizzoo's lax fingers and deliberately tore it from top to bottom. "I guess I'm a-getting old, sure enough," said Bill. "This is beyond me." Wilfred looked at Lahoma questioningly. Brick, stupefied by violence done that sacred instrument of civilization, stood rooted to the spot. Mizzoo was grinning now.
"She told me this when I was a small girl," Wilfred presently heard Lahoma saying. "And I treasured it in my mind. I stored myself with her experience about everything there is.
And when the old man slowly but proudly followed Wilfred and Lahoma to the hotel where certain preparations were to be made particularly as touching Bill's personal appearance the town of Mangum began gathering at the newly-erected church whither they had been invited.
And if put to it, I guess I could take up my old life and not be very awkward about it, either I used to be a tax-collector, and of course got rubbed up against many people that didn't want to pay. That there Gledware well! maybe it isn't this one Lahoma writes about, but the one I knew is just about middle age, and he's a widower, all right, or the next thing to it I didn't like Gledware.
She whispered in his ear, "Red Kimball came on this train there he is he hasn't seen me, yet was in another coach." "Well? Go on talking. Lahoma I'd get closer if I could." "S-H-H! He knows me, for he was a porter in our hotel. When he sees us he'll know I've come home to warn Brick. S-H-H! Then he'll try to keep me from doing it.
"He's very much altered, then, since I met him last. I'm afraid he has a gun hidden up there among the rocks." "Oh, nux, nux," retorted Willock. "He's a-speaking fair. Come along!" As they ascended the winding road, Wilfred vividly recalled the day when, from the same elevation, he had watched Lahoma buried in her day-dreams. A sudden turn brought the cove into view.
The plains blossom with endless flower-gardens and the mountains sing together when the end of the journey means a wedding. Leaving Lahoma at the small new hotel from whose boards the sun began boiling out resin as soon as it was well aloft, Wilfred hurried after a fresh horse to carry him at once to the cove, ten miles away. Warning must be given to Brick Willock first of all.
Is Lahoma going to have a chance like that amongst these settlers? Will she ever hear that high talk, that makes your flesh sort of creep with pride in your race when you read it aloud?" "Do you want Lahoma to have a lover, Brick Willock?" "Bill, if he is fit, I say she ought to have a chance." "And where are you going to find the man?" "I'm going to help Lahoma find him.
