"So would I rather have him than a puppy," the Father said; "ever so much rather." Just then the Baby puckered up his nose, and opened his little bit of a mouth and a great big squeal came out of it! You would never have believed that such a big squeal could possibly come out of such a little mouth. And he squirmed more than ever. Then Natsu, the nurse, said, "There, there, little one!
What is it, Natsu?" And Natsu, the nurse, put her two hands together on the matting in front of her, bobbed her head down nearly to the floor, and said: "It is a little son, Master. Will you accept him?" Then the Father sat right down on the floor, too, between Taro and Take.
And I reckon we shall not get that gold without sacrificing something. I see that Natsu is not altogether pleased at the prospect of climbing this hill. But it cannot be helped, so we might as well begin at once." It took them some time to ascend, and often they were forced to draw themselves up by means of rocks and small trees.
Come to your old Natsu, and she will carry you to Mother again." "Let me carry him," Take begged. "No, let me," said Taro. But Natsu said, "No, no, I will carry him myself. But you may come with me, if you want to, and see your Mother." So Taro and Take and their Father all tiptoed quietly into the Mother's room, and sat down on the floor beside her bed.
There were toys, and rice, and candied peas and beans, and little cakes, and silk for dresses for him, and more silk for more dresses, and best of all a beautiful puppy cat. Bot'Chan seemed to like his party. He sucked his thumb and looked solemnly at the aunts and cousins. He even tried to put the puppy cat in his mouth. Natsu took him away at last and put him to bed.
Natsu had taken the horses down to the wild meadow some distance away, and Sconda was in the kitchen. The latter was an excellent cook, and prided himself upon his ability to provide a most delicious repast, whether of moose meat or fried salmon. It was the latter he was preparing this evening, the fish having been brought from Glen West.
I thought it best for Sconda to go." "And mighty fortunate you did. Why, the villain would have shot us all if Sconda hadn't been on hand." "Do you intend to stay here a while, daddy?" "Long enough to look after my patient. But you must go home, and Natsu will go with you. Reynolds has to hurry down to Big Draw to record our claims." "And so you found the gold?" Glen eagerly asked.
"I suppose we were new once, too, weren't we?" said Take, watching the butterfly. "I suppose we were," Taro answered. "We grew right up out of the root of a tree. Natsu told me so." "I wonder which tree it was," Take said. "It must have been one of the trees in our own garden, of course," Taro answered; "or else we shouldn't be here."
She sang over and over, and softer and softer, about the little bells; and by the time the hairdresser had finished the Mother's hair and gone away, Bot'Chan was fast asleep. Then Natsu put him down on some soft mats, and combed Take's hair. Take stood still, like a brave little girl, though there were three snarls in it, and Natsu pulled dreadfully!
But, come to think of it, we must not let him die until we hear his story. There may be others in this plot, and we must find out who they are. Come, Sconda, give us a hand. Surely four of us can carry him." An exclamation from Natsu caused the white men to look quickly around, and as they did so they saw Sconda some distance away, bounding like a deer from rock to rock.
