The stern and noble countenance of the Sagamore relaxed into the sunniest of smiles. "My little brother is very wise. He has discovered that the Siwanois have ears like white men." "Aye but, Sagamore, I was not at all certain that you understood in English more than 'yes' and 'no."
So, mooning and miserable, I lagged along the bank toward my bush-hut; and presently, to my sudden surprise, discovered the very lady of whom I had been thinking so intently not dogged as usual by that insufferable Ensign, but in earnest conversation with the Sagamore.
The Indian glanced at me warily, "My brother Loskiel should ask these questions of the maid herself." "But I shall never see her again, Sagamore. How can I ask her, then?" The Indian remained silent. And, perhaps because I vaguely entertained some future hope of loosening his tongue in her regard, I now said nothing more concerning her, deeming that best.
Kermit and Cherrie took care of me as if they had been trained nurses; and Colonel Rondon and Lyra were no less thoughtful. The north was calling strongly to the three men of the north Rocky Dell Farm to Cherrie, Sagamore Hill to me; and to Kermit the call was stronger still.
"For God's sake let them hear no sound in this belt of bush," I whispered to Lois. "I am calm, Euan. I am not afraid." "Then fallow the Sagamore." One by one we turned and crept away southward; and I was ever fearful that some gleam from the fire, catching our rifle-barrels or axe-heads, might betray us.
The Sagamore turned in silent astonishment; though when he saw Boyd there also his features became smooth and blank again. But he came forward with stately grace to welcome her; and, bending his crested head, took her hands and laid them lightly over his heart. "Nai, Lois!" he exclaimed emphatically. "Itoh, Mayaro!" she replied gaily, pressing his hands in hers. "I am that contented to see you!
The water is as pure and cold as that which slaked the thirst of the red sagamore beneath the aged boughs, though now the gem of the wilderness is treasured under these hot stones, where no shadow falls but from the brick buildings.
And their perverted Erie priesthood, which had debauched some of their own Sachems, was a stench in the nostrils of any orthodox Sachem, and, to an ordained Sagamore, an offense and sacrilege unspeakable. I sat looking hard at the Wyandotte, inclined to speak, yet unwilling to meddle where intervention must be useless. His small, unwinking eyes met mine.
"Sagamore, powahs, pnieses, braves, all men say, It is not good for pale men with hair like the sunrise to live among the red men whose hair is like the night. Let them be gone!" "And what did the red men do about it, Squanto?" asked Standish sternly, while in his eyes kindled the danger light before which Squanto quailed, yet sullenly replied,
Now, what the Sagamore said so innocently had two meanings. He might have meant that the cawing of the crows indicated that they were objecting to a rattlesnake sunning on some rock. Also he might have meant to say that their short, querulous cawing betrayed the presence of Seneca Indians in ambush. "Or a Mountain Snake," repeated the Siwanois, with a perfectly blank face.
