"O, pshaw, Sakehow," said Sagastao; "do not be so touchy. I deserved the talking to that papa gave me. It was wrong of me to whack that Indian boy with my bat as I did, and I ought to have been punished; so if you have any jolly good stories about bad Indian boys, and how they were punished, why, let us have one."
"Yes, indeed," said Mary; "for after that terrible fright she was never known to shout out at her boy such words as, 'I hope the ghost will catch you, or any other of the unpleasant ones which she sometimes had used when she was angry with him." "Thank you, Sakehow," said both the children. "A pretty good story, that." Then what a jolly romp they had with Jack and Cuffy!
But Mary still protested her ignorance, and declared that she had been so busy caring for Souwanaquenapeke that she had not listened to half the chatter that had passed between them and the Indians. "O, I know you, sakehow Mary," said Sagastao. "You don't want to tell us because there was a woman like yourself mixed up in it."
"There, Sakehow," he said, using his favorite term of endearment, "look for yourself and see those lovely creatures some of them quite big enough to swallow us all without winking."
Mary bridled up with indignation, but before she could utter a word the arms of Sagastao were around her neck, and he cried: "Forgive me, sakehou! for speaking so foolishly. I do remember now that you had left the kitchen with baby before Minnehaha asked the question." This prompt apology and the sweet word "sakehow" restored harmony, and Mary was now anxious to please them.
