Just at this moment Anne, who had been watching for the return of her friend, seeing two figures approaching, uttered a cry of joy and ran forward to meet them. The shock of her disappointment at seeing a stranger in place of her father, caused her nearly to swoon away in Kentuck's arms. "Neow, don't ye, honey," he said, soothingly, in his kind Kentucky dialect. "Sho! don't ye take on.
My 'pinion is that human natur was meant to live reound on rivers and in the woods, or vyagin' on lakes, and sech. I never breathe jest nateral and lively, till I git eout o' between heouse walls into the free air". "'Tis a glorious life, Micah! I agree to it". "Hark!" said Micah! "Got yer piece ready? Maybe you'll hev' a chance to bring sumthin' deown. I heerd an old squaw holler jest neow".
I went often to Captain Leezur; the nervine lozenges were potent. "We all'as dew neighbor a great deal in winter," said he approvingly, stretching those dear felts before the blaze. "Is that a piece of the log we used to sit on?" I inquired mournfully. "Wal, neow! I r'a'ly believe ye feel a kind o' heart-leanin' to'ds her, don't ye?" "How can I help it?"
"Lor' sakes!" says she, "you're in a mighty berry ter git me off. Neow you've got all you kin out uv me, the letter, 'n' the mitt'ns, I may go, may I? I niver see a young gal so furrard 'ith her elders in all my born days! I think Stephen Lee's well quit uv ye, fur my part, ef he hed to die ter du it.
She said she had nothing nothing at all. At last she thought of her hair, and pulling some of it out made a string. Her brother again said it would not answer, and bade her, pettishly, and with authority, make him a noose. She replied that there was nothing to make it of, and went out of the lodge. When she was all alone she said "Neow obewy indapin."
But ye needn't merry me unless ye like me neow remember. She looked at me, jest as soon as I sed that, and caught up my big hand inter her little one, and ses she, 'O law, Micah, I'd merry ye ef yer name was Mummychog, and ye needn't build a heouse, nor nuthin'. I ken go right to the old place jest as well.
"That is so too, an' neow I look at it, Jack, ther's big holes in the ground here an' there, where the water must have run off." For several minutes Jack and his friend surveyed the scene. Then our hero urged his pony down the somewhat steep side of the gigantic mountain bowl. "Whar be yeou a going now?" asked Plum.
"Ah," said I, and shook my head again sadly, "I think more and more we will have to go our pilgrimage without that, my friend." "Neow you look a' here," said Captain Leezur. "I ain't a-sayin' nothin', that they will or that they won't, but if they dew, let 'em. Did ye ever think o' what a heap o' wisdom there is in a poor old bean-pole?

After a moment's reconnoitre, John turned his face towards Micah with a look of blank disappointment. But Micah looked cool and expectant. He merely pointed up the rocky gorge and said under his breath "'T aint time to expect 'em yet. The wind, what there is on it, is favorable tew, it blows right in our faces and can't kerry any smell of us to 'em. Neow hide yourself right away.
"Well, ye see", said Micah, "I can't be gone from hum, no longer neow, any heow. Next week, I'll try it with ye agin, if ye say so". John acceded reluctantly to the arrangement, though his disappointment was somewhat mitigated by the prospect of another similar excursion.
