"It doesn’t seem to me that my aunt is very well," the niece said during the drive. "What do you think?" "I don’t think anything about her," said Joshua with great candor. "If I was to give to thinkin’ I’d o’ moved out to Chicago an’ been scalpin’ Indians to-day." "I wonder if that trip to New York was good for her?" Arethusa wondered mildly.
"That may be so, Shames, but it could not be a redskin, for he would be more likely to cram a scalpin' knife into my heart than an egg into my mouth." "Iss it not dreamin' ye wass, an' tryin' to eat some more in your sleep? You wass always fond of overeatin' yourself whativer Tonald."
"Reckon if an Injun was a scalpin' me right on his front doorstep he 'd never hev asked me ter walk inside like that! He an' me sorter drew on each other 'bout a year ago, down at Lee's shebang; an' he don't 'pear ter fergit 'bout it." "Show me the nearest safe passage to the Fort," I said, interrupting him, almost rudely. He got up slowly, and cast his eyes with deliberation southward.
"My brother speaks strangely to-day," replied the chief. "His words are hidden from his Indian friend. What does he mean by `her'?" "Well, well, now, ye are slow," answered Tim; "I wouldn't ha' believed that anything short o' scalpin' could ha' took away yer wits like that. Why, of course I mean the woman ye said was dearer to 'ee than life."

To say truth, even if they hadn't my promise I'd keep myself free to help 'em, for I've a likin' for the good man half doctor, half parson as well as Jack-of-all-trades as has set the thing agoin' moreover, I've a strong belief that all this fightin', an' scalpin', an' flayin' alive, an roastin', an' revenge, ain't the way to bring about good ends either among Red men or white."

"Didn't know as it were Eye-of-the-Moon as done it. Then, in that case, Broken Feather's father killed my father?" "That's so. Guess you've got no occasion ter be anyways friendly with Broken Feather." "Pity you allowed him t' escape," said Rube.
"If I git a-holt of you kids, I'll bet there'll be some scalpin' done," retorted the persecuted one, rising from the heap of cable. A second potato burst like a bombshell on the shingles behind him. McKay was a good general, in that he knew when it was wisest to retreat. Shoving the paper novel into his overalls pocket, he entered the shop.
Their pond guide took Boyd's station to the right, surveying the half-conscious man critically. "This hoorawin' around ain't gonna do that scalpin' job no good," he announced. "He can't ride far 'less he gits him a spell of rest an' maybe has a medicine man look at that knock " Croxton roused. "I stick an' I ride!" He even got a measure of firmness into his tone.
