"I doubt if Mark be not ready to faint with so weary a march," said the child already introduced by the name of Martha; "he is young to go into the woods, with scouters tall as great Dudley." "And the heathen," added the little Ruth, "he is young too as Mark, though more used to the toil. It may be, mother, that he will never come to us more!"
And, Humphrey, if you have not made any use of the clothes which I left here I mean the first dress I had made when I was appointed secretary, and which I thought rather too faded to wear any longer I will put it on now, as should any military come here as scouters to the intendant, I shall have some authority over them." "It is in your chest, where you left it, Edward.
Summon the stoutest-hearted of thy youths, and I will lead them to a sortie, ere the evil get past a remedy." "That were certain victory to the heathen. Thou hearest, by their yells, that 'tis no small band of scouters who beleaguer us; a tribe hath sent forth its chosen warriors to do their wickedness.
Not a thing, they said. Leaving out the fact that the judges would not permit many scouters, it wasn't good for a crowd to ride over the fields. The dog would see them, from a distant hill, perhaps, think he was going right, and keep on. It was all over, anyway, one man ventured: Arnold's Drake was out of the race. It was a pity, too.

You saw that 'ere Injun, dead, in the woods under the tree, where the five scouters had left him a living man?"
"There will not be one of them left alive to carry you back!" "Ronan, no imprudence!" said the hermit. "These horsemen may be only a scouting party riding ahead of a numerous troop. Send out scouters against scouters; keep the bulk of your men in reserve and have them entrench themselves behind the wagons." "Monk, you are right. You talk like an experienced soldier. You must have made war?"
Until the search is over, Chaloner and Grenville must retain their accoutrements and remain with us: And, Humphrey, if you have not made any use of the clothes which I left here I mean the first dress I had made when I was appointed secretary, and which I thought rather too faded to wear any longer I will put it on now, as, should any military come here as scouters to the Intendant, I shall have some authority over them."
"We go as scouters and observers of that which may hereafter call for the ready assistance of this youth; but numbers would expose us to observation, without adding to our usefulness and yet," he added, arresting his footstep, which was already turned towards the door, and looking earnestly and long at the Indian boy, "perhaps there standeth one who might much enlighten us, would he but speak!"
