There had been some unexpected feeling, and even some real generosity shown at the last, on the part of the three who were to profit by the exodus falling heir thereby to a bigger, warmer cabin and more food. O'Flynn was moved to make several touching remonstrances. But Potts was made of sterner stuff. Besides, the thing was too good to be true.
You a patriot? You the people's friend? You are doing everything in your power to blacken the people's cause in the eyes of their enemies. You are simply a humbug, a hypocrite, and a scoundrel; and so I bid you good morning." Mr. O'Flynn had stood, during this harangue, speechless with passion, those loose lips of his wreathing like a pair of earthworms.
After a moment's further reflection, Willinawaugh said again with emphasis, "Ingliss, Ingliss." Perhaps he did not desire to avail himself of the added fluency of explanation which the Cherokee language would have afforded him, and which Corporal O'Flynn evidently understood. "Go Choté Old Town.
I was suddenly discovered to be a time-server, a spy, a concealed aristocrat. Such paltry talent as I had, I had prostituted for the sake of fame. I had deserted The People's Cause for filthy lucre an allurement which Mr. O'Flynn had always treated with withering scorn in print.
And now O'Flynn, roaring as usual, had broken away from those who had obstructed his progress, and had flung himself upon the Colonel. When the excitement had calmed down a little, "Well," said the Colonel to the three ranged in front of him, Maudie looking on from above, "what you been doin' all these three months?" "Doin'?" "Well a " "Oh, we done a lot."
He was thinking, uneasily, of the time two years ago the winter of the deep snow when he and his family had been quarantined with smallpox, and of how Father O'Flynn had come miles out of his way every week on his snowshoes to hand in a roll of newspapers he had gathered up, no one knows where, and a bag of candies for the little ones.
Neither Banter nor O'Flynn was a dangerous man; a little loud and exaggerated talk was the utmost extent of their harmfulness. Neither of them was any better capable of making a bomb than of constructing a flying-machine, and they were less capable of throwing it than of flying.
"The people down at Ikogimeut don't need it like us. We're white duffers, and can't get fish through the ice. You sell some of it to us." But Nicholas shook his head and shuffled along on his snow-shoes, beckoning the dog-driver to follow. "Or trade some fur fur tay," suggested O'Flynn. "Or for sugar," said Mac. "Or for tobacco," tempted the Colonel.
He had answered firmly: "Not before Christmas," modifying this since Nicholas's visit to "Not before the House-Warming." But one morning the Boy was found pouring the fruit out of the jars into some empty cans. "What you up to?" "Wait an' see." He went to O'Flynn, who was dish-washer that week, got him to melt a couple of buckets of snow over the open-air campfire and wash the fruit-jars clean.
"But we've settled our little account, haven't we, old man?" Mac jerked his head in that automatic fashion that with him meant genial and whole-hearted agreement. "And if Potts or O'Flynn want to break that seal " "I'll call 'em down," says Mac. And the Colonel knew the seal was safe.
