We looked into their faces and felt their hot breath. Then a signal was given and the panting, squirming mass was jerked to the surface. As we passed over the hill to the camp I was in an ecstasy. The sense of relief under the open sky was intense. Others seemed to have it for they joked and laughed boisterously over trifles as we went "home." Seven of us together went to the big wash-house.
In the middle of a soft bed of moss was a squirming mass of legs and funny little heads. At first that was all Whitefoot could make out. "Don't you think this is the most wonderful surprise that ever was?" whispered little Mrs. Whitefoot. "Aren't they darlings? Aren't you proud of them?"

There's two arms on each shoulder " "There, now. One arm on each shoulder belongs to each of the creatures, don't it?
At this Kanmakan laughed and smote him with the spear butt on the breast, and he fell to the ground squirming like a snake. Whilst they were thus doing, behold, they saw a dust cloud spireing high and heard the tramp of horses; and presently there appeared under it a plump of knights and braves.
