John Potts was another of the Lewis and Clark men: had served as a soldier enlisted at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, by Captain Lewis himself.

"See, my child," he purred; "I will tinker this little toy of your body for you; then run along down there and play with your brothers and sisters." In the mood of reaction that the neurasthenic must meet, the trough of the wave, Isabelle doubted. Potts had not yet found the key to her mechanism; the old listless cloud befogged her still.
Jennet's malice seemed now directed against Master Potts, whom she charged with having betrayed and deceived her.

That woman almost the only person in sight who did not expect, by means of the Oklahoma, to leave misery behind! The Boy stood thinking "How will they bear it when they know?"

"Here, Rob, you stay here with me! Where has the young rascal gone!" "Look! Oh, look!" cried Miss Brodie, clutching at Dunn's arm, her eyes wide with terror.
