"Now, then," said the Powwow man to Tom, "wouldn't you like to be frightened, my little dear? For I can see plainly that you are a very wicked, naughty, graceless, reprobate boy." "You're another," quoth Tom, very sturdily. And when the man ran at him, and cried "Boo!"
And at that his poor heathen papa and mamma were as much delighted as if they had found a gold mine; and fell down upon their knees before the Powwow man, and gave him a palanquin with a pole of solid silver and curtains of cloth of gold; and carried him about in it on their own backs: but as soon as they had taken him up, the pole stuck to their shoulders, and they could not set him down any more, but carried him on willynilly, as Sinbad carried the old man of the sea: which was a pitiable sight to see; for the father was a very brave officer, and wore two swords and a blue button; and the mother was as pretty a lady as ever had pinched feet like a Chinese.
"Now, what the deuce has all this powwow been about?" demanded Merrihew; for he had understood nothing, despite his How to Speak Italian in One Day. "It's that rascal Giovanni." "Did he find his man and cut him up?" "No. It seems that these carabinieri have remark-able memories; the old affair. Poor devil! I can't imagine how they traced him here.
Yea, for he would be a poor powwow and a necromancer worth nothing who could not foretell such a trifle as the day and hour when an enemy would be on them!
"I haven't heard much of it yet," said old Tom. "Perhaps I ought to tell you, Mr. Gaylord," said Austen, smiling a little, "that I didn't come down in any legal capacity. That's only one of Tom's jokes." "Then what in h l did you bring him in here for?" demanded old Tom of his son. "Just for a quiet little powwow," said young Tom, "to make you laugh. He's made you laugh before."
His ugly squat figure, and the tall, khaki-clad form of the officer, were conspicuous among squatting blacks, male and female, in gay turbans, veils, and mantles, muffled babies in arms, and children dressed in exceedingly brief fringes. "I'll attend to him, while you powwow with Ireton," said Anthony, ready for the unexpected situation.
Le's duck 'em! le's drown 'em! le's ride 'em on a rail!" and everybody was whooping at once, and there was a rattling powwow. But the lawyer he jumps on the table and yells, and says: "Gentlemen gentleMEN! Hear me just a word just a SINGLE word if you PLEASE! There's one way yet let's go and dig up the corpse and look." That took them.

We laid her beside Ventnor on the pile of silken stuffs, covered them both with a fold, then looked at each other long and silently and I wondered whether my face was as grim and drawn as his. "It appears," he said at last, curtly, "that it's up to you and me for powwow quick. I hope you're not sleepy."
But as I takes in three aces, an' as the harvest tharof is crowdin' hard towards two hundred dollars, I concloodes, final, them dogs don't have me on their mind after all; an' so I'm appeased a whole lot. Still, I'm cur'ous to know whatever they're howlin' about anyhow. "'Which you're too conceited, Boggs, says Tutt, cuttin' in on the powwow. 'You-all is allers thinkin' everythin' means you.
"Is it still garrisoned, or have we come too late?" "It was safely held two days ago," she answered, "although hundreds of savages in war-paint were then encamped without, and holding powwow before the gate. No attack had then been made, yet the officers talked among themselves of evacuating." For a moment the stern soldier seemed to have forgotten her, his eyes fastened upon the western horizon.
