"Brother Lu, he acted like a sneak from the Start. I could see that he was taking it for a big joke, because he was grinning like everything.
My fear is that he will sneak off in the night. He is a sly fox." "I will stop that," said Rooney. "How?" "You shall see. Come with me to the hut of Ujarak." On reaching the hut, they found its owner, as had been expected, sharpening his spears, and making other arrangements for a hunting expedition. "When do you start?" asked Rooney.
