So we spreads out across the road and goes scoutin' down the hill. Didn't seem likely a thing as big as that could hide itself completely, even if it had bounced off into the bushes. But we got clear to the bottom without findin' so much as its track. On we goes, pawin' through the bushes, scoutin' the ditches on both sides, and peekin' behind trees.
And he comes from " "From my old home, Shelby, North Carolina," says she. "But he isn't the one who's missing, you know." "That's so," says I. "Gettin' off the track, wasn't I? Shows what a poor sleuth I am. And now if I can have the missing man's hat I'll do a little scoutin' round outside." "His hat!" grumbles Zosco. "What do you want with that?"
We hadn't more than whirled in through the stone gate-posts of Harbor Hill, too, than I begun to scent complications. For there, lined up in front of the house, are four other machines, with a whole mob of people around 'em. "Why!" says Vee. "Who can they be?" "Looks like someone had beaten us to it," says I. "I'll go do some scoutin'." Course, one close-up look is all that's needed.
What if her feet should skid and after ten or a dozen bell hops had boosted her up again they should find me underneath? Still I was in for it. No scoutin' around for back-number restaurants, as I'd planned at first. No, Bonnie had asked to be brought up-to-date. So she should, too. But I did wish she'd come to town in something besides that late Queen Victoria costume.
Looked like the myst'ry was solved too, and while I wa'n't plannin' to restrict any interstate romance, or throw the switch on love's young dream, I thought as long as I'd gone this far I might as well take a look. "Maybe he'll be too busy to receive any home delegation just now," says I; "but if you want to stick around while I do a little scoutin' inside, Uncle, I'll be out after a bit."
"Yup. Guess they've had all winter to get things settled," Seth responded indifferently, while he turned a keen ear to windward. "What are you listening for?" asked Rosebud, quickly. "General's out scoutin'." "Good old General!" "Yes, he'll locate the Injuns when they git around." But just then Rosebud was thinking of other things.
"I'm a little discouraged," said Jack. "This war may last for years." "Keep up on high ground er ye'll git mired down," Solomon answered. "Ain't nuther on ye very old yit, an' fust ye know these troubles 'll be over an' done." Jack awoke at daylight and found that he was alone. Solomon returned in half an hour or so. "Been scoutin' up the trail," he said.
"I think we'd better stop here," said the Panther, "an' do a little scoutin'. If you like it, Mr. Crockett, you an' me an' Ned, here, will dismount, slip forward an' see what's the trouble. Obed will take Command of the others, an' wait in the bushes till we come back with the news, whatever it is." "I'll go with you gladly," said Davy Crockett.
"Sure, I was through it all," he began. "I was buildin' boats in Prince George; and scoutin'. Upwards of three months we hadn't no news from outside and the settlement was in a continuous state of scare. It was supposed the Crees had been joined by the Montana Indians; and all said we was cut off on the south.
"Good enough. Better pick one of the boys to ride with you while you are out scoutin'." "I'll take Billie Prince," decided the new rider at once. "You know Billie?" "Never saw him before to-day. But I like his looks. He's a man to tie to." "You're right he is." The drover looked at his new employee with a question in his shrewd eyes.
