"I was, but Mac said he didn't have any further use for me said I was too much of a runt to be liftin' and pullin' along with growed-up men.
Whenever Miki wanted to end a bout, however, all he had to do was to give Neewa a sharp nip with his long fangs and the bear would uncoil himself and hop to his feet like a spring. He had a most serious respect for Miki's teeth. But Miki's greatest moments of joy were where Neewa stood up man-fashion. Then was a real tussle.
He is a man of intelligence and of considerable culture, but whose personal habits are of a low and disgraceful character. He has reached his fifty-second year. It will be observed that the women ride man-fashion here, that is, astride of their horses, and there is a good reason for this.

The mixture of foolishness and wisdom, the effort to protect in man-fashion what was weak, moved Janet strangely. "Mark," she faltered, "you need not be afraid. I know I do not understand, and that helps. If I thought I did, there might be danger. It's just the same as if I were James B. going up there to peddle well clams! You need not fear a bit more for me than for him."
