Me fren', Mr. whuzya name, ole chappie? Tell us your name." "Rudkus Jurgis Rudkus." "My fren', Mr. Rednose, Hamilton shake han's." The stately butler bowed his head, but made not a sound; and suddenly Master Freddie pointed an eager finger at him. "I know whuzzamatter wiz you, Hamilton lay you a dollar I know! You think hic you think I'm drunk! Hey, now?" And the butler again bowed his head.
The sounds of indignation and ferocity that followed this statement are not translatable. After a gaze of unutterable meaning round the circle Rednose went on "This, this is the way in which the owl-eyed chief of the Palefaces begins to do us good! If this is the way he begins, in what way will he continue, and," here his voice deepened to a whisper "how will he end?"
This species of rhetoric, and its effects, are sometimes observed in connection with civilised gatherings. The great white chief thus irreverently referred to, we regret to say, was Lord Selkirk. "The great white chief," continued Rednose, availing himself of the force of emphatic repetition, "is a fool! He is a child! He knows nothing!
"By the pans of Julius Caesar!" shouted the marshal. "I'll put you to sleep so you'll never wake up if I hears any more about you an' yore two bits!" "Show me, Rednose," snapped the other, his gun out in a flash. "I want that cayuse, an' I want it quick. You show me twenty-five dollars or I'll take it out from under you on my bid, you yaller dog! Stop it! Shut up! That's suicide, that is.
They were well received there, for it was an open house for all guests; and forthwith that same evening Asgaut went to see Thorolf Rednose, and told him all the matters concerning their errand, "how Vigdis, his kinswoman, had sent him this man to keep in safety." Asgaut also told him all that had happened between Ingjald and Thord Goddi; therewithal he took forth the tokens Vigdis had sent.
I attached myself to a family named Daa-veed-sin, and I have found out found out much about the Palefaces much more that I did not know before, though I am a chief of the Cree nation." Okematan looked pointedly at Rednose as he said this. After a brief pause he continued
"The great white chief," began Rednose, with a slow deliberation that was meant to convey a settled and unalterable conviction, "is a fool!" "Waugh!" exclaimed the audience with emphasis, for the language was strong, and uttered with intense vigour, and that quite accorded with their tastes, so they agreed with the sentiment without regard to its signification.
She was daughter of Ingjald, son of Olaf Feilan, and brother's daughter of Thord Yeller, and sister's daughter of Thorolf Rednose of Sheepfell. This Thorolf was a great hero, and in a very good position, and his kinsmen often went to him for protection. Vigdis had married more for money than high station. Thord had a thrall who had come to Iceland with him, named Asgaut.
Rednose ole fren' the guv'ner's! Mr. Rednose, Admiral Dewey; shake han's hic. Ain't he a daisy, though blue ribbon at the New York show eighty-five hundred at a clip! How's that, hey?" The speaker sank into one of the big armchairs, and Admiral Dewey crouched beneath it; he did not snarl again, but he never took his eyes off Jurgis. He was perfectly sober, was the Admiral.
Having thus given vent to the opinions and feelings that consumed him, Rednose sat down, his audience breathed freely, the distant sentinel recovered his composure, and the young novitiate brave with the cold in his head sneezed with impunity. It would be tedious to recount all that was said at that council of war.
