Budlong had purchased food and kept it in her teepee. Therefore, when asked for something to ward off a faint feeling before dinner and she had denied having anything, they were outspoken in their resentment. "There she stood and lied to our faces," Mrs. Appel declared to her husband afterward, "while her mouth was shining.
Later in the day Watusk must have thought better of his surliness for he sent a polite message to Ambrose at Simon Grampierre's house, requesting him and Simon to come to a tea dance that night. He had borrowed Jack Mackenzie's house for the affair since no teepee was big enough to contain it. Mackenzie's was the first house west of the Kakisa encampment. "Tea-dance! Bah!
Julyman stand by teepee. Him tak rawhide. Him say, 'do so! Squaw him do. Julyman mak long trail. Him not care. Him come back him find plenty much other squaw. So!" The Indian's watchful eyes had turned again to the tracks ahead. But he had seen. The humour had completely vanished out of Steve's eyes. So had his smile. Julyman's purpose was not quite clear. He loved and revered his chief.
Under Caleb's directions the breezy side of the cover was now raised a little, and the shady side much more. This changed the teepee from a stifling hothouse into a cool, breezy shade. "An' when ye want to know which way is the wind, if it's light, ye wet your finger so, an' hold it up. The windy side feels cool at once, and by that ye can set your smoke-flaps."
Chief Squirrel lives in a lodge that is an admirable combination of the white men's tent with its weather-proof roof and the Indian teepee with its cosy fire. Not one of these lodges that I saw, here or elsewhere, had the slightest suggestion of decoration. For people who spend their whole life on or near the water these are the worst boatmen I ever saw.
Spreading a handsomely decorated buffalo robe before the man, two of the warriors lifted him by each shoulder and placed him gently on it. Then the four men took, each, a corner of the blanket and carried the stranger, with long proud steps, toward the chieftain's teepee. Ready to greet the stranger, the tall chieftain stood at the entrance way.
In the seclusion of the wagon Waddles was carefully rereading a much-thumbed document for perhaps the hundredth time. A man had come in at daylight with the mail from Brill's and Billie Warren was within her teepee poring over her share of it. The men had finished theirs and were sleeping.
Out I rushed with my bow and arrows in my hand. "Come, uncle, come! A big cinnamon bear!" I shouted as I emerged from the teepee. Uncle sprang out, and in a moment he had sent a swift arrow through the bear's heart. The animal fell dead. He had just begun to dig up Wabeda's bone, when the dog's quick ear had heard the sound.
"What on earth are we to do?" "Lie still. We can do no more, unless we get a chance to make a bolt for it. But they are between us and the door." The men waited in tense silence, preserving the immovable attitudes of statues until, as time passed, other serpents made their appearance and the teepee was swarming with a dozen at least. They seemed to be everywhere.
Nor did it need much understanding to realize that it came from behind a primitive, cotton-covered window. "Good. How far?" It was Kars who spoke. "Piece down. Piece up. So. One mile. Bluff. Small piece. Bell River neches plenty teepee." Charley spoke with his outstretched hand indicating a brief decline, and the corresponding rise of ground beyond.
