By midafternoon all that was possible in the way of settling their man had been accomplished, even to a pile of firewood sufficient to last him two weeks. MacDonald contributed that after one brief exhibition of Thompson's axemanship.
The Princess without the least show of fear stood nearby calling out encouragement to the shepherd and waiting for the moment when the shepherd should need her help. By midafternoon when the sun was hot, the dragon grew faint and cried out: "Oh, if I could but dip my burning head in the cool water, then I could toss you as high as the sky!" "Don't talk nonsense!" the shepherd said.
It was midafternoon when the sound of distant rifle fire came faintly to the ears of the two men from somewhere far below them. "The boys must be comin'," whispered Eddie Shorter hopefully. For half an hour the firing continued and then silence again fell upon the mountains. Eddie began to wander mentally. He talked much of Kansas and his old home, and many times he begged for water.

She insisted on helping in the work by piling the brush and roots into heaps for burning, and she remained until midafternoon. "I like that Henry boy," she confided to Hiram. "He don't pull my braids, or poke fun at me." But Sister was developing and growing fast these days. She was putting on flesh and color showed in her cheeks.
Private Smith wakened from one swoon only to fall into another. Sometimes he wakened to the thudding of hoofs and saw the savages sweeping toward him on their ponies. Near midafternoon the warriors formed for a charge and it was evident from the manner of their massing that they were going to ride down on the buffalo wallow in one solid body.
