But before we go, wash your face good and hard. Get that tribe paint off. These Indians with us don't like it. You're no Indian, anyhow; you're white, like us. Savvy? White man. Wash off paint!" He rolled up his kit and returned to the canoe. The Mayorunas, men and women, were entering their own craft. Rand sat motionless a moment, McKay and the Brazilians watching him keenly.
Savvy, Fred?" The other grunted, touched his sombrero to Io and rode on. "Has a reporter been here inquiring after me?" asked Io. "Not after you. It was some one else." "If the newspapers tracked me here, I'd have to leave at once." "They won't. At least, it isn't likely." "You'd get me out some way, wouldn't you, Ban?" she said trustfully. "Yes." "Ban; that Fred person seemed afraid of you."
"I think, sir, it's some one at the door," calmly announced Sims, raising his voice decorously, to be heard over the noise. "Shall I see who it is, or shall I let them knock and go away?" "See who it is, and if it's the police, make no objection to their coming in. Be surprised, but not frightened, and say Mr. Logan has a friend supping with him. Savvy?" "Yes, sir," responded Sims, and vanished.
She's got to know you couldn't go on like this much longer without having her get wise; she ain't a fool. The thing for you to do now is to buck up and let her reform you. I've always heard that women are tickled plumb to death when they can reform a man. You go on over there and make your little talk, and then buckle down and live up to it. Savvy? That's your only chance now. It'll work, too.
Trot out a plain, home-made slap at the fodder he's dishin' up, fer instance. And when he comes at you with a challenge, don't fergit your privilege of pickin' out the weapons savvy?"
The pale eyes looked naive and artless, except, perhaps, for a hard, shrewd glint, deep down. Joe Kuzak was present. "We searched him, Frank," he said. "His bubb, too. He's clean as far as we can tell. Not even a weapon. I also asked him some questions. I savvy a little of his real lingo." "I'll ask them over," Nelsen answered.
"But don't kid yerself dat youse're kiddin' me into givin' it to youse because youse have got a pretty smile an' a sweet voice! Savvy? I" she choked suddenly, and caught at her throat "I guess youse're de only chance I got-dat's all." "That's better," said Rhoda Gray encouragingly. "And now you'll let me go and get a doctor, won't you, Nan?" "Wait!" said Gypsy Nan hoarsely.
"I savvy. I get you, little girl. But, say, it won't do. You've got to begin to live again and brighten up. You're only seventeen and that's no age for mourning, no, nor moping. You must learn to forget, at least, that is" for he saw the horrified pain of her eyes "that is, to be happy again. Yes'm. Happiness that's got to be your middle name. Now, Miss Sheila, as a favor to me!"
Anyway, that doesn't matter. It's our women folks we've got to think of. I told Dad you'd brought your wife that she'd been sick. He'll tell Mother and Lucy. They don't know, and they never will know what kind of a girl Louise has been.... Savvy, pard?" "Reckon I do," replied Blinky, in hoarse trembling accents. "But won't we have hell with Louise when she wakes up sober?"
The Chinaman shook his head. "No savvy," he replied. "Blig flight. Look see," and he pointed to the torn and trampled turf, the broken bushes, and to one or two small trees that had been snapped off by the impact of the two mighty bodies that had struggled back and forth about the little clearing.
