"If thou wilt entrust the Princess Pocahontas to us," continued Argall, "she shall be taken to Jamestown and there detained in all gentleness, in the house of a worthy lady, until Powhatan agreeth to our terms and she will be conveyed in safety to her father.
It could not be eaten, but it looked well sitting in the middle of the table. At the close of the banquet all the party sang a song. Lady Green's voice was not very good, but Lota explained to the children afterward that it isn't polite to laugh at company even when they do make funny squeaks with their high notes. Pocahontas had to sit in the corner awhile for having done so.
He shall watch me and protect me; he will cheer me in the winters." Pocahontas interrupted her: "That then is the reason thou didst steal my child. Thou shalt not keep him; he is not for thy lodge. He goeth with his father and with me to be brought up in the houses of the English." There came a cry from the forest, the same cry she had heard in her dreams.
'Pocahontas loves Jamestown, I shall whisper to the river that it eat not too deep into the island's banks, and" here the half-playful tone changed into one of real earnestness "I who sit close to Powhatan's heart shall whisper every day in his ear: 'Harm not Jamestown, if thou lovest Matoaka." A look of great relief passed over the wounded man's face.
Then all is well with thee?" "All if my father will but make peace. I would I might go to see him. Doth he love me still?" she asked wistfully. "He saith," answered Nautauquas, "that he loveth thee as his life and, though he hath many children, that he delighteth in none so much as in thee." Pocahontas sighed half sadly, half happily. "Bear to him my loving greetings.
"They've got a demonish splendid school-girl over there," he said to that lady, "made the stunningest looking Pocahontas at the show there the other day. Demonish plucky looking filly as ever you saw. Had a row with another girl, gave the war-whoop, and went at her with a knife. Festive, hey? Say she only meant to scare her, looked as if she meant to stick her, anyhow. Splendid style.
The Indians continued their depredations. Messages daily passed between the fort and the Indians, and treachery was always expected. About this time the boy Thomas Savage was returned, with his chest and clothing. The colony had now several of the Indians detained in the fort. At this point in the "True Relation" occurs the first mention of Pocahontas.
"I wish to go to him." Nautauquas looked at her earnestly as if he would question her, but did not. "They say he is on his way to Jamestown and should reach there on the morrow." As Pocahontas and Nautauquas returned at sunset to Werowocomoco, the girl stopped at Wansutis's lodge. "Thou comest for healing herbs for thy white man," exclaimed the old woman before Pocahontas had spoken a word.
The story must be told or we should not be honest with the reader. Curtain. Captain John Smith released and kneeling before Pocahontas, whose hand is extended in the act of raising him and presenting him to her father. Savages in various attitudes of surprise. Clubs fallen from their hands. Strontian flame to be kindled. Curtain.
There was a light step beneath which the dry twiggs on the ground crackled slightly, and the wary captain grasped his matchlock and bade his men be on their guard. Again the twigs crackled, and now there came from the shadow of the woods not a train of Indians, but one little girl Ma-ta-oka, or Pocahontas. "Be guarded, my father," she said, as Smith drew her to his side.
