"What cap'in mean, now?" demanded the Indian, quietly. "That the same whip is in this fort that I always kept in the other, in which you knew me to dwell; nor have I forgotten how to use it." The Tuscarora gazed at the captain with a very puzzling expression, though, in the main, his countenance appeared to be ironical rather than fierce. "What for, talk of whip, now?" he said.
Well for dog 'tis so. Too mean for Wyandotté to touch. What cap'in come for? Eh! Better tell chief get council widout lightin' fire." "As I see no use in concealing my plan from you, Wyandotté," Nick seemed pleased whenever this name was pronounced by others "I shall tell it you, freely. Still, you have more to relate to me. Why are you here? And how came you to discover us?"
And with that he hung my small-sword, whisked the powder from my shoulders with a bit of cambric, chose a laced handkerchief for me, and, ere I could remonstrate, passed a tiny jewelled pin into my powdered hair, where it sparkled like a frost crystal. "I'm no macaroni!" I said, angrily; "take it away!" "Cap'in Ormond, suh, you sho' is de fines' young gemm'n in de province, suh," he pleaded.
Cap'in know all 'bout him; now he give Nick some more last quit-rent?" "Last, indeed, it will be, then, Nick; for I have already paid you twice for your rights." "Discovery wort' great deal, cap'in see what great man he make pale- face." "Ay, but your discovery, Nick, is not of that sort." "What sort, den?" demanded Nick, with the rapidity of lightning.
"Dess regahd yo'se'f, suh, in dishyere lookum-glass. What I done tell you? Look foh yo'se'f, suh! Cap'in Butler gwine see how de quality gemm'n fixes up! Suh John Johnsing he gwine see! Dat ole Kunnel Butler he gwine see, too! Heah yo' is, suh, dess a-bloomin' lak de pink-an'-silver ghos' flower wif de gole heart."
"No need bye'm-by take him, now cap'in, lend Nick dollar; pay him to- morrow." The captain protested against the sequitur that the Indian evidently wished to establish; declining, though in a good-natured manner, to lend the larger sum. Nick was disappointed, and walked sullenly away, moving nearer to the stockade, with the air of an offended man.
Cap'in Shattuck out about Palo Alto said to us niggers one day, 'Stop your foolishness go live among your white folks an' behave. Have sense an' be good citizens. His advice was good an' we soon broke up our clubs. "I ain't been to no school 'cept Sunday School since Surrender.
"Poor rifle nebber hit shoot one way, look t'other?" "He is no great shot, I will admit; but he is a famous fellow with a shillaleh. Has he given you any of the news?" "All he say, news much news ten time, as one time. Cap'in lend Nick a quarter dollar, yesterday." "I did lend you a quarter, certainly, Nick; and I supposed it had gone to the miller for rum, before this.
"Nick help carry 'em. Carry t'ing for dat squaw hundred time." "That what! D'ye mane Madam Willoughby by yer blackguard name?" "Yes; cap'in wife cap'in squaw, mean him. Carry bundle, basket, hundred time for him."
Cap'in no find him good, as Indian say?" "In that you dealt honestly, and I give you credit for it. Has any one seen this letter but ourselves, yourself, and the person who wrote it?" "What for ask? If Nick say no, cap'in t'ink he lie. Even fox tell trut' some time; why not Injin? Nick say no." "Where did you leave my son, and when? Where is the party of red-skins at this moment?"
