He was a common man, blunted in the finer nature by a life of hardship, yet his shrewd spirit seized on much that less facile people like Puttany learned slowly or not at all. Puttany and the child were often together in one long play, broken only by the man's periods of labor.
"Frank," said his partner, with sudden authority, "you take the kid down to the water and scrub him." "All over?" whispered Puttany, in confusion. "No just his hands and top. Supper is ready to put on."
He sat down on the dog-kennel with his hands on his knees, staring at the dim earth. Puttany went from tent to cabin, calling his daily playmate, unable to convince himself that some unusual thing had happened, and he hoped that Brown would contradict him when he felt compelled to announce his slow discovery. "Dey vas gone!"
And if that isn't enough, I'll make Puttany strip and stay in the brush while you do his clothes." Françoise widened her smile. "I've been thinking we'll have to build you a house right over there." Her entertainer indicated the shore behind her. "Oppos'?" exclaimed Françoise, turning with pleased interest. Even in her husband's lifetime little thought had ever been taken for her.
The perfume of coffee presently sifted abroad, and the table was brought out and set under the evening sky. Lockers gave up their store of bread and pastry made by the capable hands of the camp housekeeper. The woman, their guest, sat watching him move from cook-tent to table, and Puttany lounged on the dog-kennel, whittling a stick.
Was he put underground with plenty of dirt on top of him, or did he merely drop in the water?" "I vas not there." "Maybe the lazy hound has resurrected. I've seen these lumbermen dropped into the water and drowned too often. You can never be sure they won't be up drinking and fighting to-morrow unless you run a knife through them." "He is a det man," affirmed Puttany.
He was so enormous that it required both Brown and Puttany to carry him up the bank, and as he hung from the pole the sudden projection of his snapping head was a danger. When he fastened his teeth into a stick, the stick was hopelessly his as long as he chose to keep it. He was like an elephant cased in mottled shell, and the serrated ridge on his tail resembled a row of huge brown teeth.
