"Nothing only you and Joe are both safe now," she replied, with her eyes cast down. "Were we in danger? How are we safe?" inquired Glenn, regarding her words as highly mysterious. "Everybody is safe where Mr. Boone is," replied Mary. "But what was the danger, my pretty lass?" inquired Boone, playfully taking her hand. "Why Posin, one of father's boatmen "
I have kept my secret for three years and I still hold it." He's a dramatic cuss, Rupert. I leaves him posin' in front of the mirror on the bathroom door, gazin' sort of romantic at himself. "Not a common, everyday nut," as I explains to Vee that night, when I goes up for my reg'lar Wednesday evenin' call, "but a nut, all the same. Sort of a parlor pirate, too."
"I suppose there's some dandy sna-aps up in those trenches, Loo-tenant?" he said at last. "Oh, well, I dunno," said Courtenay. "Sort of thing you see in the picture papers, of course." "Them!" said the sergeant contemptuously. "I could make better sna-aps posin' some of the transport crowd in these emergency trenches dug twenty miles back from the front.
"Speak on, lass I know Posin to be an unfeeling wretch, and a half-blood Indian; but he is also known to be a great coward, and surely no harm could have been feared from him," said Boone. "But I heard him speaking to himself when I was filling my pitcher at the spring, and he was standing behind some rocks, where he couldn't see me, and didn't think any one was within hearing."
The bowlder which supported him was no more stationary than he. He gazed fixedly at the youths, but made no signs and uttered no word. "Begorra, but he's a shtrange gintleman," muttered Tim. "I wonder if he's posin' for his picter." "His firing of the gun proves that he is a friend," said Warren; "so we have nothing to fear from him."
You will not let him I mean my father, go among them, will you? You know that Posin is away perhaps in some ambush " "Hush child!" said Boone, in a low tone, and employing gestures that led the savages to believe he was quieting her fears, while he whispered a message in her ear that had a singular effect.
The footprint which had so much attracted Sneak was recognized by some peculiar marks to be that of Posin, and when the discovery was communicated to Boone, he at once surmised that danger lurked in the vicinity; and the subsequent impatience on the part of the Indians to urge the whites to visit their camp, convinced him that some foul treachery had been concocted between the half-breed and the savages.
"And pickin' black-caps and strawberries, and churnin' big churnin's of butter, and pickin' wool, to say nothin' of onexpected company comin', and no girl. Let a lot of company come to stay all day the relations on your side and the work not done, and me posin' like a statute, lookin' down on you and your sect, you'd feel like a fool and jaw, you know you would.
They profess to entertain the kindest feeling towards us, and propose through their chiefs to traffic their furs and moccasins for such goods as we may be disposed to give them in return." "I do not see your oarsman, Posin," remarked Glenn, the disclosure of Mary occurring to him and then accosted Mary herself, who now joined them with her eyes cast down in apparent bashfulness.
Maybe you remember how Aunty played up her skittish symptoms about them same bonds a few weeks back, the time she planned to exhibit me to Vee in my office boy job and got so badly jolted when she finds me posin' as a private sec instead? Went away real peeved, Aunty did that time. And now it looks like she was takin' it out by unloadin' her bond holdin's.
