I'll soften up my other skin boots for he, and let him have a pair of my duffle socks." "Aye," agreed Skipper Zeb, "he might wear they. Get un, b'y." In a moment Toby produced from the tent an adikey made of heavy white woolen cloth, a pair of thick woolen slippers made of heavy blanket cloth, and a pair of knee-high black sealskin boots with moccasin feet.
"A feller does get wonderful lonesome seem' no one an' has t' talk t' hisself sometimes." The two entered the tilt and Ed threw off his adikey while Dick put the kettle over. "Well," asked Dick, when Ed was finally seated, "how'd th' mother take un?" "Rare hard on th' start off," said Ed.
"Un has one a'ready! An' be un a good un?" "Not so bad." "Well, you be startin' fine, gettin' th' first marten an' th' first deer." Bill had taken off his adikey and disposed of his things, and they sat down to eat and enjoy a long evening's chat.
Potokomik's wife was most unwilling, and he took her, dragging her by the tail of her adikey from her father's igloo across the river on the ice to his own, and they have "lived happily ever after," which seems to prove the correctness of the Eskimo theory as to unwilling brides.
"Glad to see you both," and after shaking hands with Mrs. Twig and Violet, Marks the trader from White Bear Run proceeded to remove his adikey, and standing over the stove that the heat might assist him, to remove the mass of ice from his thickly encrusted beard. "Set in now and have a cup o' tea, sir, and some trout," invited Mrs. Twig when Marks's beard was cleared to his satisfaction.
"There must be some more down where we shot them at first," said he, as he drew off his adikey, "and some of those that got away were wounded, no doubt. At any rate we've cut the pack down so far in numbers that it won't be a menace any longer." "What'll they do now?" asked Bobby, as the three settled into their easy chairs to wait for the kettle to boil.
Finally Dick spoke: "'Tis what I was fearin'. 'Tis some o' Micmac John's work. Now where be Bob? Somethin's been happenin' t' th' lad. Micmac John's been doin' somethin' wi' un, an' we must find un." "We must find un an' run that devil Injun down," exclaimed Ed, reaching for his adikey. "We mustn't be losin' time about un, neither." "'Twill be no use goin' now," said Dick, with better judgment.
"Well," announced he, as he put down the box and pulled his adikey over his head, "I were seein' Santa Claus th' day an' givin' he a rare scoldin' for passin' my maid by these two year a rare scoldin' an' I'm thinkin' he'll not be passin' un by this Christmas. He'll not be wantin' another such scoldin'." "Oh!" said Emily, "'twere too bad t' scold un.
"Toby and I thinks we'll be makin' an early start, so I'll be comin' early with the boat." "May I go with you?" asked Charley eagerly. "Well, now!" and Skipper Zeb looked doubtfully at Charley's leather shoes and heavy ulster. "You'd be findin' that coat a weary burden, and you'd be gettin' wonderful cold feet." "I were dryin' out my other adikey," suggested Toby. "Charley might wear un.
He were passin' my maid two year runnin' an' I can't be havin' that," insisted the father as he hung up his adikey and stooped to open the komatik box, from which he extracted a small package which he handed to Emily saying, "Somethin' Bessie were sendin'." "Look! Look, mother!"
