Not the form Blake thought to see, of shrinking, delicate, dainty woman, but that of the furious warrior who thrice had dared him on the open field the red brave well known to him by sight and deed within the moon now waning, but, only within the day gone by, revealed to him as the renegade Ralph Moreau, Eagle Wing of the Ogalalla Sioux. Where then was Nanette?
Eagle Wing had been educated, she said, by her aunt and uncle, was indeed their nephew and her own cousin. He had been wild and had given them much trouble, and her aunt was in bitter distress over his waywardness. It was to plead with him that she, Nanette, had gone.
"In wonder, indeed, at your thinking me capable of doing so in the state I am in. Well, I suppose we must play at blind man's buff." Thereupon, I began to feel right and left, everywhere, but in vain. Whenever I caught anyone it always turned out to be Nanette or Marton, who at once discovered themselves, and I, stupid Don Quixote, instantly would let them go!
He was exhausted from digging at the earth under the lower log, and he had not smelled or heard anything of the presence of others until he saw Nanette standing not twenty paces away. His heart leapt up into his panting throat. He swallowed, as though to get rid of a great lump; he stared. And then, with a sudden, yearning whine, he sprang toward her.
Day came again, gray and empty and still there was no smoke from the chimney or sound from within the log walls, and at last he knew that Challoner and Nanette and the baby were gone. But he was hopeful. He no longer listened for sound from within the cabin, but watched and listened for them to come from out of the forest.
And she bounded off "to tell Nanette," she said. There is a theory that everything has its counterpart; if true, Denys it would seem had found the mind his consigne fitted. While he was roaring with laughter at its unexpected success and Gerard's amazement, a little hand pulled his jerkin and a little face peeped round his waist.
DIEU! he had never before observed how lovely she was! He drew himself together, and stated the business in his mind. "You will not want the dog," he said. "I will take him away." Nanette did not answer. She seemed scarcely to be breathing as she looked at him. It seemed to him that she was waiting for him to explain; and then the inspiration to lie leapt into his mind.
By that time letters, too, were beginning to come, and, two nights after this removal to the little room but lately occupied by Lieutenant Field this very Thanksgiving night, in fact, the single sentry at the door stood attention to the commanding officer, who in person ushered in a womanly form enveloped in hooded cloak, and with bowed head Nanette Flower passed within the guarded portal, which then closed behind her and left her alone with her wounded brave.
So we struck a bargain, and for the two cross foxes and the ten red which I have outside I bought him." Shall I bring in the skins, MADAME?" "He is not for sale," said Nanette, the glow in her eyes deepening. "He is my dog mine and the baby's. Do you understand, Henri Durant? "OUI," gasped Durant, amazed.
She has made use of you to allure me in the snare, and it is all the better for her; had she come, I meant to have had my turn, and to have laughed at her." "Ah! you must allow me to have my doubts as to that." "Doubt me not, beautiful Nanette; the pleasant night we are going to spend without her must convince you."
