"Look at the infarnal thing!" exclaimed the trapper, in disgust. "Who'd a thort there'd 've been any of the warmints about, whin we took sich pains with our fire. Why the chap didn't send a piece of cold lead into each of our bread-baskets is more nor I can tell. It would've sarved us both right."
"What! go right straight in among the Injen warmints them male critters?" cried an old maid, holding up her hands in horror. "Do you think we're invisible, and they can't see us?" said a second. "Or bullet proof?" added a third. "Or that our scalps arn't worth as much as yourn?" rejoined a fourth. "Or of so little account you arn't afeared to lose us?" put in a fifth.
I should just like to give the call, though, to set our dear old lads going along the mountain-side there skirmishing and peppering the frog-eating warmints till they ran for their lives." "Hurrah!" shouted Pen. "Who's trying to bring the enemy down upon us now, when we know there are some of them sneaking about in vedettes as they hold both ends of the valley.
"Yes, it would be a comfort, Jem." "Yes, and as I was saying, here was we going on as quiet as could be, and interfering with nobody, when these warmints came; and look at things now." "Yes," said Don, sadly, as he looked round; "half the men dead, the others wounded and prisoners, with the women and children."
"For de Lawd's sake," she exclaimed, "de warmints hab come!" "So they have," replied the captain, rising upright from his crouching posture, "and see what they have done!" He held up the stem of his pipe, which he had kept between his teeth during the exciting moments, with such a grim expression of woe that, despite the frightful incident, his wife and even Avon smiled.
'Andsome dog-collar, sir, cheap! do to fasten your wife up with!" "Stand clear, ye warmints!" cries the coachman, elbowing his way among them and, remounting the box, he takes the whip and reins out of Mr. Jorrocks's hands, cries "All right behind? sit tight!" and off they go. The day was fine, and the hearts of all seemed light and gay.
"Anoder ob dem warmints has comed into my room, eh?" muttered the angered servant; "I'll sarve him wuss dan the oder one." "You will not find the task so easy; keep at my side, make no noise, and don't stir till I tell you." By this time, the embers on the hearth were so low that they gave out only a faint illumination, which extended but a foot or two into the room.
