Nattee was very kind to her, and the child did not seem to be more reserved towards her than to others; her mournful, pensive look, was perhaps inherent to her nature. It was not until long after our first acquaintance that I ever saw a smile upon her features. Shortly after this little conversation, Nattee returned, walking with all the grace and dignity of a queen.
"Fleta, do you know that the camp is to be broken up, and Melchior and Nattée leave it together?" "Indeed!" replied she, with surprise. "Then what is to become of you and Timothy?" "We must of course seek our fortunes where we can." "And of me?" continued she, looking me earnestly in the face with her large blue eyes. "Am I to stay here?" continued she, with alarm in her countenance.
But it was not Nattee alone, nor young imaginative girls alone, that believed in these stories.
"In my early days I was wild, and I am, to tell you the truth, in the power of this man; nay, I will tell you honestly, my life is in his power; he ordered me to come, and I dare not disobey him and he retains me here."

He had been many years in company with the tribe, and although, as one received into it, he did not stand so high in rank and estimation as his wife, still, from his marriage with Nattee, and his own peculiar qualifications and dexterity, he was almost as absolute as she was.
I would have done it myself, but mother has bidden me to come to her, and I may be detained until the time when Hota is to be hung; and the letter tells of matters pertaining to life and death.
