"I would rather live and die poor, than have anything to do with them!" "I see no such great harm in the trade, gal; but such is not Roswell's ar'nd in the West Ingees. It's a great secret, the reason of his call there; and I will venture to foretell that, should he make it, and should it turn out successful, you will marry him, gal." Mary made no reply.
"We have, captain Willoughby, and a desperate sort of visiters be they! A more ugly set of Mohawks and Onondagas I never laid eyes on." "As for their appearance, it is matter of indifference to me what is the object of their visit?" "I mean ugly behaved, and they deserve all I say of 'em. Their ar'nd, according to their own tell, is to seize the captain, and his family, in behalf of the colonies."
Just now, I wish to learn all I can of the manner in which you fell into the hands of the Pottawattamies." "Dat plain 'nough wish Christian talk half as plain. You see, Bourdon, dat Elksfoot on scout, when we meet in openin', up river. I know'd his ar'nd, and so took scalp.

Gar'ner's whole ar'nd isn't among the ice, or a'ter them seals." "I do not know that I understand you, sir. Surely Roswell has gone on a sealing voyage." "Sartain; there's no mistake about that.
"This, then, you report as being the business of the party in coming to this place!" he said, quietly. "I do, sir; and an ugly ar'nd it is, in times like these." "Is there any person in authority in a party that pretends to move about the colony, with such high duties?"
"The gentleman's a total stranger to me," Joel hypocritically resumed; "but as the captain has belief in him, I must have the same. I am ready to do the ar'nd, therefore, as soon as it is agreeable." "This is well, captain Willoughby," put in the major, in order to anticipate any objections from his father; "and the sooner a thing of this sort is done, the better will it be for all concerned.
