"But the young girl we seek," he insisted; "must she also be brought here upon the return?" "Pish! what care I what may be done with the girl? Besides, she is far safer from the savages there than she would be here." I saw De Croix lean far out over the sharpened palisades and peer downward.
"You'll be repeating that charming story once too often," Des Cadoux cautioned him. "Pish, you timorous one!" he laughed, and resumed his tale. "I am from Artois, then.
