35719 | How comes it, that the Enemy burns and destroys the Towns in_ New- England_, and they make no Resistance? |
35719 | How comes our great King to make War, and not to destroy his Enemies? |
35719 | Is it not probable, that such Designs as these have given the first Rise to Tragedy? |
35719 | Is this Protection, to speak thus with his Lips, and at the same Time to knock us on the Head, by assisting our Enemies with Ammunition? |
35719 | Is this well done? |
35719 | Or do they draw their Arms out of our Chain? |
35719 | Or do they fail in their Obedience? |
35719 | Or has the great King commanded, that the few Subjects he has in this Place, should make War against the_ French_ alone? |

35719 | Shall we run away, or shall we sit still in our Houses? |
35719 | Should we not go to him after all this Intreaty, when he is come so far, and so near to us? |

35719 | We return you Thanks for the Powder and Lead given us; but what shall we do with them without Guns, shall we throw them at the Enemy? |
35719 | What shall we do? |
35719 | What shall we do? |
35719 | When our Enemies are humbled, and beg Peace, why should they not have it? |
35719 | Where shall I find it but upon our Path[18]? |
35719 | Why then not one Word of your People that are to join us? |
35719 | _ Onondio_, you have sent for me often, and as often asked, why I am afraid to come? |
35719 | _ Yonondio_, you desire to speak with us at_ Cadarackui_: Do n''t you know that your Fire there is extinguished? |
31926 | Can nothing hurt you? |
31926 | Does not all the blood within me Leap to meet thee, leap to meet thee, As the springs to meet the sunshine, In the Moon when nights are brightest? 31926 Must our lives depend on the hare and on the red deer?" |

31926 | And are we the aunts and uncles?" |
31926 | And when Hiawatha heard the owls hooting through the night he asked Nokomis:"What are those?" |

31926 | Then he smiled at Hiawatha and said:"Is there anything that can harm you, my son?" |

31926 | What strange guests hast Minnehaha?" |
31926 | When Hiawatha saw the rainbow, with the sun shining on it, he said:"What is that, Nokomis?" |
31926 | When he heard the owls at midnight, Hooting, laughing in the forest,"What is that?" |
31926 | Who is this, that lights the wigwam? |
31926 | Who shall say what dreams of beauty Filled the heart of Hiawatha? |
31926 | Who shall say what thoughts and visions Fill the fiery brains of young men? |

31926 | cried the Little People;"what will become of the Puk- Wudjies? |
31926 | he cried in terror;"What is that?" |
31926 | he cried, desponding,"Must our lives depend on these things?" |
31926 | he cried, desponding,"Must our lives depend on these things?" |
31926 | he cried, desponding,"Must our lives depend on these things?" |
31926 | he said,"Nokomis?" |
31926 | said the young men, As they sported in the meadow;"Why stand idly looking at us, Leaning on the rock behind you? |
31926 | shouted the young men, as they ran their races and played their games upon the meadows,"why do you stay idle while we strive with one another? |
31926 | why is it That your hearts are so afflicted, That you sob so in the midnight? |
30795 | 135 When he heard the owls at midnight, Hooting, laughing in the forest,"What is that?" |
30795 | 15 Who will care for the Puk- Wudjies? |
30795 | 35 If still further you should ask me, Saying,"Who was Nawadaha? |
30795 | 45 Or the white goose, Waw- be- wawa, With the water dripping, flashing From its glossy neck and feathers? |
30795 | And are we the aunts and uncles?" |
30795 | Anything you are afraid of?" |
30795 | Are ye ready, ye children, to eat of the bread of Atonement?" |
30795 | Bears not each human figure the godlike stamp on his forehead? |
30795 | Can it be the sun descending O''er the level plain of water? |
30795 | Cried the fierce Kabibonokka,"Who is this that dares to brave me? |
30795 | Earnestly prayed for his foes, for his murderers? |
30795 | Has perchance the old Nokomis, 160 Has my wife, my Minnehaha, Wronged or grieved you by unkindness, Failed in hospitable duties?" |
30795 | Him who redeemed it, the Son, and the Spirit where both are united? |
30795 | I hear the church- bells ring, O say, what may it be?" |
30795 | I hear the sound of guns, O say, what may it be?" |
30795 | I see a gleaming light, O say, what may it be?" |
30795 | Is he not sailing Lost like thyself on an ocean unknown, and is he not guided By the same stars that guide thee? |
30795 | Is there anything can harm you? |
30795 | Knowest thou Him, who forgave, with the crown of thorns round his temples? |
30795 | Nothing that you are afraid of?" |
30795 | Or do ye know, ye children, one blessing that comes not from Heaven? |
30795 | Or the heron, the Shuh- shuh- gah? |
30795 | Readest thou not in his face thine origin? |
30795 | Saw the moon rise from the water Rippling, rounding from the water, Saw the flecks and shadows on it, Whispered,"What is that, Nokomis?" |
30795 | Saw the rainbow in the heaven, In the eastern sky, the rainbow, Whispered,"What is that, Nokomis?" |
30795 | Say to me only, ye children, ye denizens new- come in heaven, Are ye ready this day to eat of the bread of Atonement? |
30795 | Say, dost thou know him? |
30795 | She had heard her father praise him, Praise his courage and his wisdom; 115 Would he come again for arrows To the Falls of Minnehaha? |
30795 | Should not the dove so white Follow the sea- mew''s flight, Why did they leave that night Her nest unguarded? |
30795 | Should you ask me, whence these stories? |
30795 | Some one perhaps of yourselves, a lily broken untimely, Bow down his head to the earth; why delay I? |
30795 | Then he said,"O Mudjekeewis, 115 Is there nothing that can harm you? |
30795 | Then he turned and saw the strangers, 85 Cowering, crouching with the shadows; Said within himself,"Who are they? |
30795 | Thus then,--believe ye in God, in the Father who this world created? |
30795 | Was it Shingebis the diver? |
30795 | Was it the owl, the Koko- koho, Hooting from the dismal forest? |
30795 | Was it the pelican, the Shada? |
30795 | Was it the wind above the smoke- flue, 65 Muttering down into the wigwam? |
30795 | What strange guests has Minnehaha?" |
30795 | Who is this, that lights the wigwam? |
30795 | Who shall say what dreams of beauty Filled the heart of Hiawatha? |
30795 | Who shall say what thoughts and visions 290 Fill the fiery brains of young men? |
30795 | Who shall stand in his presence? |
30795 | Why shouldst thou hate then thy brother? |
30795 | Why then will you hunt each other? |
30795 | Will ye promise me here( a holy promise), to cherish God more than all things earthly, and every man as a brother? |
30795 | Will ye promise me this before God and man?'' |
30795 | With his great eyes lights the wigwam? |
30795 | Wrapt not in Eastern balms, But with thy fleshless palms Stretched, as if asking alms, Why dost thou haunt me?" |
30795 | Ye children does Death e''er alarm you? |
30795 | Yet,--for what reason not children? |
30795 | Yet,--why are ye afraid, ye children? |
30795 | and safe from danger; Can you not with all your cunning, 95 All your wisdom and contrivance, Change me, too, into a beaver?" |
30795 | he cried in terror;"What is that,"he said,"Nokomis?" |
30795 | he cried, desponding, 40"Must our lives depend on these things?" |
30795 | he cried, desponding,"Must our lives depend on these things?" |
30795 | he cried, desponding,"Must our lives depend on these things?" |
30795 | said the young men, 135 As they sported in the meadow;"Why standing idly looking at us, Leaning on the rock behind you? |
30795 | that it has not received? |
30795 | to hope, to forgive, and to suffer, Be what it may your condition, and walk before God in uprightness? |
30795 | why is it That your hearts are so afflicted, That you sob so in the midnight? |
7339 | After this general letting down of the scene, Red Jacket turned to me familiarly and asked;''What are you? 7339 As to suffering and death among the Indians, did not they prove that the Great Spirit was angry with_ them_, as well as with white men? |
7339 | But,said Mr. Morris,"what value can they be to you as they now are, any further than the consciousness that you own them?" |
7339 | I inquired of a gentleman who was conversant with Indian proceedings, what Red Jacket was doing? 7339 Very true,"replied Red Jacket,"_ and why_? |
7339 | What did he do? 7339 What have we here? |
7339 | What have we here? |
7339 | What will you do, then? |
7339 | Why can you not go on while I write? |
7339 | ''Have you then,''he added,''any method by which you can change your palates every time you change your plates? |
7339 | ''Now,''said Red Jacket,''what was this for?'' |
7339 | ''You must then suppose,''he continued,''that the plates, and knives, and forks, retain the taste of the cookery?'' |
7339 | --Are they not yet strong? |
7339 | A new power had arisen in the land, what bearing would it have on their future fortunes? |
7339 | Am I not yet strong? |
7339 | And how was_ that_ regarded by the Great Spirit?--Would he forgive it? |
7339 | And united, would they not yet be, a formidable power? |
7339 | And what crime has this man committed, by executing in a summary way, the laws of his country, and the command of the Great Spirit?" |
7339 | And what did you dream?" |
7339 | And when filled with good news, how is it possible that disasters should befall you on the way? |
7339 | And why did they die, if the Great Spirit was not angry, and they wicked? |
7339 | And_ where_ they got such a rite from? |
7339 | Another point of interest with them, was to ascertain_ how large a pile, the money they were to receive, would make_? |
7339 | Are you Jesus Christ? |
7339 | But did not the Indians have_ some_ wickedness_ before_ that? |
7339 | But do not Indians and white men do so? |
7339 | But they_ died before that_? |
7339 | Did they expect the hand of friendship to be extended toward them? |
7339 | Do you denounce us as fools and bigots, because we still believe that which you yourselves believed two centuries ago? |
7339 | For I should suppose that the taste would remain on the palate longer than on the plate?'' |
7339 | For they ask continually-- where is the land which our children, and their children after them are to lie down upon? |
7339 | Have I not yet power to withstand my enemies?" |
7339 | He had no thought of teaching as his life- work, and what would he do next? |
7339 | Hence after this when speaking to Mr. Morris about their money, they would inquire_ what kind of a crop they were going to have that year_? |
7339 | His last words were still,"Where is the missionary?" |
7339 | How came she to be thus exercised? |
7339 | How can you tax it? |
7339 | How did it happen? |
7339 | How do we know this to be true? |
7339 | How shall we know when to believe, being so often deceived by the white people? |
7339 | How then has your State, which never owned our land, sold it to you? |
7339 | If there is but one religion why do you white people differ so much about it? |
7339 | My first step, therefore, was to ask him why he so strongly opposed the settlement and labors of the missionaries? |
7339 | Need we be surprised then, to find in Red Jacket''s published speeches, a tameness unworthy of his fame? |
7339 | Now, here we are: what is your business?'' |
7339 | On cross examination the inquiry was made, as to the rank he held among his own people? |
7339 | Parks, how neighbor Codding came near being killed yesterday? |
7339 | Pointing then to the other figure, he inquired,"_ What_-HIM- call?" |
7339 | Shall we observe that he wished that if the errors of the hostile Indians could be discovered, he would use his utmost exertions to remove them? |
7339 | The armies of Britain defeated, could they, single handed, cope with the American army? |
7339 | The counsel who conducted the prosecution, wishing to exclude his testimony, inquired whether he believed in the existence of a God? |
7339 | The judge inquired where he was going? |
7339 | The ruse was successful, she anxiously inquired what they were talking about? |
7339 | This indeed is to us an occasion of joy, for how can two brothers speak freely together, unless they feel they are upon equal ground? |
7339 | To be invited to councils of peace,--to the intimacies, hospitalities, and kindly feeling manifested on this occasion? |
7339 | What are we? |
7339 | What could be their position, now that the armies of Britain are withdrawn? |
7339 | What could he want more? |
7339 | What did he do? |
7339 | What has become of the Indians, who extended to the salt water? |
7339 | What have our brothers done, more than the rulers of your own people have done? |
7339 | What marks our extermination? |
7339 | What were the results? |
7339 | What would be your feelings, were you told that your children were to be cast upon a naked rock, there to protect themselves? |
7339 | When I am gone to the other world, when the Great Spirit calls me away, who among them can take my place?" |
7339 | Whereupon his eye kindling with animation, he asked with evident emotion,"WHERE- HIM- LIVE- NOW?" |
7339 | Whether the Sachem mistrusted he was now to be taken in his own net or not, is not certain, but he also inquired,--"And what did you dream?" |
7339 | Who then lives to mourn us? |
7339 | Who told you that we have lands to sell? |
7339 | Who were his parents? |
7339 | Why are you not all agreed,--as you can all read the book? |
7339 | Why do you offer such a_ sacrifice_, for so it is considered? |
7339 | Why this difference_? |
7339 | Would he thus treat men that were_ good_? |
7339 | You say you are not a government agent, are you a gambler? |
7339 | [ Footnote: Who would ever suspect that a railroad would stride across any of these deep chasms? |
7339 | and not know Indian?" |
7339 | and what, his early history? |
7339 | or a black coat? |
7339 | or what are you?'' |
7339 | said he,''is that it?'' |
39401 | And why not Edwins, too? |
39401 | Are not your people and the Oneidas brethren? |
39401 | Belong in these parts? |
39401 | But have you never heard of any other tradition? 39401 But is there no way,"asked Ruth,"in which this conflict can be avoided?" |
39401 | But what talk we of these traitorly rascals, whose miseries are to be smiled at, their offences being so capital? |
39401 | But,asked Singing- Bird,"what pale- face women_ do_? |
39401 | But,said Ralph,"how is our indebtedness to be paid? |
39401 | But_ what_ enemy,asked Barton,"can he be pursuing in this direction? |
39401 | Can it be possible? |
39401 | Can this be Singing- Bird, of whom I have heard so much? |
39401 | Can you give me the direction towards the riotous assemblage you have mentioned? |
39401 | Did n''t we know that? |
39401 | Do you suppose, Eagle''s- Wing, that they''re anywhere round here now? |
39401 | Does he mean to eat his own words? 39401 Eagle''s- Wing''s friend do n''t hate Singing- Bird now?" |
39401 | For Heaven''s sake, Eagle''s- Wing, what do all these arrangements mean? 39401 Gone?" |
39401 | Got friend, then,asked Singing- Bird,"who like to look at you-- who give you his heart?" |
39401 | Guthrie,answered Ruth,"in what manner has my father or have I, injured you, that you should commit the act you have, to- day?" |
39401 | Has any one ever explored this swamp? |
39401 | Hate you? 39401 Hath not old custom made this life more sweet Than that of painted pomp? |
39401 | Have you got husband, too? |
39401 | Hear him talk, eh? |
39401 | How Injin look dressed like white man? |
39401 | How do you know that, Eagle''s- Wing? |
39401 | How know that? |
39401 | How long ago, Mr. Jenkins,asked Barton,"did the fight which you mention occur?" |
39401 | How now, Sir Knight? |
39401 | How would you be, If He, who is the top of judgment, should But judge you as you are? 39401 How''s that, Eagle''s- Wing?" |
39401 | How, then,asked Ralph,"would you pay off our indebtedness, and support the burthens of government?" |
39401 | I say, Eagle''s- Wing, do you think the sarpent recollects_ us_? |
39401 | I say, friend,said Ichabod, addressing Guthrie,"you keep a sharp look- out over there, do n''t you?" |
39401 | I supposed,said Ralph,"that this country, through which we are now traveling, was in the possession of the friendly Oneidas and Tuscaroras?" |
39401 | Is it certain we are to be attacked so soon? |
39401 | Is it not possible that we may find some tolerably safe cover in it? |
39401 | Is it right, Eagle''s- Wing, to kill Panther thus, in cold blood? 39401 Is your nation in this territory now?" |
39401 | Know friend? |
39401 | Know? 39401 May I ask the precise nature of the terms you mention?" |
39401 | My father,she exclaimed,"is he safe?" |
39401 | O gor- a- massy,''twas you, was it, Massa Jenkins? 39401 Of how many articles does your faith consist?" |
39401 | Shall I tell Eagle''s- Wing this? |
39401 | Shall I tell him to go back to the villages of his nation, and forget his squaw? 39401 That''s what I call fair,"said Ichabod, slowly;"but_ could n''t_ you, Squire, do a little something towards furnishing the capital?" |
39401 | The Yankee pale- faces are strong, when they come together in armies; but are they strong_ here_? 39401 The country of the Senecas is not a good country, then?" |
39401 | This Ichabod Jenkins probably resides in these parts? |
39401 | Well, Eagle''s- Wing, what news from the Senecas? |
39401 | Well, Ichabod, any more factory projects? |
39401 | What Christian do, eh? |
39401 | What are these Indians going to do with us? |
39401 | What does my brother mean? |
39401 | What is the meaning of that shout? |
39401 | What is the meaning of this, Eagle''s- Wing? |
39401 | What scalp good for, if they do n''t know''nough to keep Injin from taking''em? |
39401 | What that? |
39401 | What would you advise me to do, Guthrie? 39401 What''s the meaning of all this, Eagle''s- Wing?" |
39401 | What''s to be done now? |
39401 | What_ can_ we do? |
39401 | Who do you say captured her? |
39401 | Who heard it from? |
39401 | Who wants him to escape? |
39401 | Why are you here in this section alone, Tuscarora, with none of your brethren near you? |
39401 | Why has Canendesha dug up the hatchet, when the pale- faces and their Indian allies have buried it? |
39401 | Why then, does Snake- tongue make us this long war- speech? 39401 Why would n''t it be a good idea for one of us to reconnoitre a little? |
39401 | Why, how many Senecas do you think there are, Guthrie? |
39401 | Will you allow me to ask,continued Bagsley, addressing Barton,"how long you have resided in this section?" |
39401 | Would it not be better to escape at once? 39401 Would n''t such a system a little better allow us to take care of ourselves? |
39401 | Yes, but the question is,said Ichabod,"how we''re going to get the water upon the roof, in case of necessity? |
39401 | Yes, but why not bear off some other trophy? 39401 You certainly do not think of going thither?" |
39401 | You do not mean to say that Eagle''s- Wing would make_ you_ do labor in the field? |
39401 | You do not mean, Captain Weston-- you_ can not_ mean, Mr. Barton, that you will not release us? |
39401 | You do not think they would dare to attack the cottage for the purpose of capturing him? |
39401 | You mean, I reckon, that I shall take Eagle''s- Wing and put these thongs round his limbs, and pass him over to you as a prisoner? |
39401 | You remember the divine injunction to the apostles, Ichabod? |
39401 | _ What_ friend? |
39401 | Are not these woods More free from peril than the envious court? |
39401 | Are not these woods More free from peril than the envious court?" |
39401 | Are two or three pale- faces a match for the young warriors of the Senecas? |
39401 | Are you anything of a fisherman, Ichabod?" |
39401 | Are you much acquainted with the old poets of the country?" |
39401 | As they approached the crowd of Indians, Bagsley cried out,"Will anybody be civil enough to show me the ringleader of this disorderly assembly?" |
39401 | But I say,"asked he, just thinking of the other captive who had been brought in that morning,"what other prisoner have they got here?" |
39401 | But I want to know, if it''s considered gentlemanly, among the Senecas, to tie a fellow''s legs so cussed tight?" |
39401 | But he escaped; and how? |
39401 | But how, and where? |
39401 | But what do_ you_ say, Eagle''s- Wing?" |
39401 | But who can foretell, from the look of this day, what shall be the appearance of the next? |
39401 | But who is this Guthrie? |
39401 | But why ca n''t we raise sheep here? |
39401 | But why is he here-- two days''march from his friends?" |
39401 | But will you allow_ me_ to ask, sir-- if my question is not too impertinent-- what business gentlemen of your profession can find in these forests?" |
39401 | But you''ll say, Captain, that the foreign importations will ruins us? |
39401 | Could it be that his body had been removed by a Seneca during the conflict? |
39401 | Could n''t we a little easier build up manufactories of our own? |
39401 | Could you not see that there is a propriety in accosting our friends with warmth, who are about to relieve us from an unpleasant situation? |
39401 | Did I understand you to say, that this gentleman''s daughter has been taken prisoner?" |
39401 | Did the pale- faces do that? |
39401 | Did you ever read Freneau, Captain? |
39401 | Did you ever read the ballad of''Lovewell''s Fight,''Captain? |
39401 | Did you ever see a more terrific piece of writing than that, Captain?" |
39401 | Do red men treat their brothers so, and expect that their hearts will be filled with peace?" |
39401 | Do you want to know what''s coming next?" |
39401 | Does my brother mean to lie?" |
39401 | Had Ichabod been again captured? |
39401 | Has he crossed the trail of an enemy?" |
39401 | Have you not heard the story of the life and death of the Redeemer of the world, and of the truths that he taught?" |
39401 | Hear that?" |
39401 | How can I thank you?" |
39401 | How do you like living with the Senecas?" |
39401 | How massa Jenkins manage?" |
39401 | How would an Injin look in the pantaloons and coat of a pale- face? |
39401 | If the pale- faces do not, how can the Indians think so?" |
39401 | Is he often at your father''s?" |
39401 | Is it not so, Eagle''s- Wing?" |
39401 | Is it not so?" |
39401 | Is that right? |
39401 | May this not be a promise for the future?" |
39401 | No recollect?" |
39401 | Now, did Shakspeare ever write anything equal to Freneau''s"Antiquity of America"?" |
39401 | Now, why ca n''t you get the start of the white men? |
39401 | One feels to exclaim with the Bard of Avon,"Is not this life more sweet Than that of painted pomp? |
39401 | Or shall I tell him to come and deliver himself up to his enemies?" |
39401 | Shall I tell you why? |
39401 | Should they remain here, or continue their flight towards the cottage? |
39401 | Should we let the pale- faces, who have done all this, go and laugh at us? |
39401 | Singing- Bird continued,"If you got lover, then, why do n''t marry?" |
39401 | Speaking of the Squire''s fishing expedition, what other poet ever said as fine things about_ fish_, for instance, as she did? |
39401 | The moment they were discovered by the party, Barton ran towards Ralph, exclaiming,"Is she safe, Ralph-- is she safe?" |
39401 | Wake up, man; what are you dreaming about?" |
39401 | Was anything ever more terrible than the description of the final judgment? |
39401 | Was it possible that the Indians, satisfied with the lives of their two unfortunate prisoners, had abandoned the idea of again attacking the cottage? |
39401 | We could find out for sartin whether any of the reptiles are ra''ally round here or not?" |
39401 | Were they friends or foes? |
39401 | What d''ye think they mean to do, Eagle''s- Wing?" |
39401 | What did_ he_ know about_ our_ woods? |
39401 | What shall we do with him?" |
39401 | What was now to be done? |
39401 | When are these Indians going to leave here?" |
39401 | Where do you propose to establish your hermitage?" |
39401 | Where is it?" |
39401 | Who would have believed it?" |
39401 | Why is it so? |
39401 | Why should we let them loose to lie like snakes in the grass and bite at us? |
39401 | Why should we not love to look upon the country of our brothers?" |
39401 | Will my sister go and tell him whether she does or not?" |
39401 | Will you not return with us?" |
39401 | Without us, I may venture to say, the world would be helpless-- without us, what power would sustain the weak? |
39401 | Would it not be better, Eagle''s- Wing, if all the pale- faces and all the Indians thought so?" |
39401 | You ca n''t deceive_ me_, Eagle''s Wing-- you are on a trail?" |
39401 | You do n''t like pickerel- fishing, then?" |
39401 | You see that red devil, yonder, that''s been set here to guard me? |
39401 | Your roads are not remarkably well worn or broken; and we have had quite a fatiguing journey; have we not, Rogers?" |
39401 | asked Ruth;"that they were to go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature?" |
39401 | cried Ichabod;"what''s the use of lying upon the ground, when you can just as well stand on your feet?" |
39401 | ejaculated Barton,"what could_ I_ do in the factory business?" |
39401 | exclaimed Bagsley, forgetting, in his fear, his professional character,"what shall we do?" |
39401 | exclaimed Barton, with the appearance of surprise,"what business have the Senecas here, I should like to know?" |
39401 | go to sleep will you, when you''re on duty? |
39401 | how so?" |
39401 | is it you, Eagle''s- Wing? |
39401 | old veteran, was you there, too?" |
39401 | said Eagle''s- Wing, quickly"What scalp good for to enemy, after he killed? |
39401 | said the negro, grinning"who caught dis ere fellar? |
39401 | sit still and do not''ing?" |
39401 | whence yon glare, That fires the arch of heaven?--that dark- red smoke, Blotting the silver moon?" |
39401 | which way? |
39401 | why did n''t I think of that? |
39401 | why not take a portion of the enemy''s dress, or something of that sort?" |
46795 | Alone? |
46795 | And Kate had disappeared? |
46795 | And did you notice any such mark about the track we have been following-- anything you would know again, no matter where you saw it? |
46795 | And you are also thinking of our mother, should the dreaded Indian attack come when we are away? |
46795 | And you will stick to us through thick and thin, Blue Jacket? |
46795 | And you, Blue Jacket, will you not join us? |
46795 | And, Reuben, tell us if even Shawanee moccasins may not be known apart by some peculiar mark? |
46795 | Are all here? |
46795 | Are you hurt much, Blue Jacket? |
46795 | Are you still thinking about father, Sandy? |
46795 | Blue Jacket-- where is he? |
46795 | Bob, what would you do? |
46795 | But can one of them be carrying our sister all this time? |
46795 | But dare he enter there, with Pontiac and all those other chiefs from distant tribes still present as guests of Kiashuta? |
46795 | But even if he lives hundreds of miles away he can come back, ca n''t he? 46795 But he has already told us he could see that the braves were Senecas, from the feathers in their scalplocks, and their manner of dress?" |
46795 | But how are we going to get at the honey, Bob? |
46795 | But how can we ever stand it? |
46795 | But how is it we do not see our good friend, Blue Jacket? |
46795 | But on this present expedition you did not venture to go in among the lodges, because of the added danger, I suppose? |
46795 | But tell us why he came out holding his hands above his head; and for what reason should he wave the white rag? |
46795 | But the Iroquois are the friends of the English? |
46795 | But the wind may die out by then; or something else might happen to upset all our plans? |
46795 | But they do find a hollow, do n''t they? |
46795 | But what about your plan for dressing us all up to look like the Indians? |
46795 | But what if we succeed in locating the bee tree, and cut it down; how are we to carry the honey home? |
46795 | But what is to hinder our securing torches, and continuing on as long as we can put one foot before the other? |
46795 | But what shall we do with these two men? |
46795 | But what would you do wiz us? |
46795 | But where could he have found a boat? |
46795 | But which do you think it will be? |
46795 | But why did n''t you let me shoot him? |
46795 | But you said that, after the cry, our mother saw Kate moving about? |
46795 | But, Bob, must we just stand here, and let them take us prisoners? |
46795 | But-- Armand Lacroix, what of him? |
46795 | But-- he walked over here with us to get the measure of meal father promised to give him, without accepting any pay? |
46795 | Can it be posseeble zat it ees real gold? |
46795 | Chief, did you discover where the wigwam of Black Beaver is situated in the village? |
46795 | Come, what ails you, Kate? |
46795 | Could it be Daniel Boone who has come, or perhaps that young ranger, Simon Kenton, whom you and I liked so much when we saw him long ago? |
46795 | Did any one see it done? |
46795 | Did you empty your powder- horn in that charge, Bob? 46795 Did you hear what old Reuben Jacks said, Bob?" |
46795 | Did you meet Pontiac? |
46795 | Do you hear them coming? |
46795 | Do you mean it might be Blue Jacket? |
46795 | Had we not better run for the house? |
46795 | Haf you more of ze same stuff? |
46795 | Haf you zen a compadre near by? 46795 Have you got the sugar and everything along?" |
46795 | He''s just sure to come nosing around, do n''t you think? |
46795 | How did it start? |
46795 | How do we know whether they are deceiving us? |
46795 | How do you know that? |
46795 | How does it go, Bob? |
46795 | How it is zat you come to zat conclusion? |
46795 | How long must we lie idle here? |
46795 | How many were there? |
46795 | How will this place do, Bob? |
46795 | I wonder how far he is on his way now? |
46795 | I wonder now if that firebrand, Pontiac, is up in this region? 46795 If our mother were ill you do not believe that both father and Kate would leave her alone, while they gossiped with the neighbors outside the doors? |
46795 | Is that so, Reuben? |
46795 | It comes from the other side of the settlement, does n''t it? |
46795 | Listen to zat, would you, Larue? |
46795 | Listen,said the cooler Bob;"why should he wish to attract our attention if he had done this deed? |
46795 | Look up into that sycamore tree and tell me if you ca n''t see them flying around? 46795 Look, Bob, what do you suppose all those people are doing around our home? |
46795 | Make noise-- tell Iroquois we here-- no good, see, Sandy? |
46795 | Nothing but the hum of a hive of bees could make that noise, Bob, could it? |
46795 | Now what is our next move? |
46795 | Now, tell us at once,he said, in his commanding way;"was it a letter?" |
46795 | Oui, I remember ze same, ver''well,said Armand;"but what may zat haf to do wif our young friends here? |
46795 | Perhaps it is a deer, and he means to get a shot with his bow and arrows? |
46795 | Perhaps they are even now carrying the scalps of our neighbors, the Bancrofts? |
46795 | Phat do yees think av that? |
46795 | Say you so, my leetle fire- eater? |
46795 | Shall we accept the offer of Pontiac,asked Sandy,"and make for the river under the guard of his men?" |
46795 | Shall we go on? |
46795 | Something''s happened then,cried Sandy;"something good, you say? |
46795 | Still, if the trail is washed out, how then are we to follow? |
46795 | Tell us, Mr. Harkness; is Kate lost; and do they only believe she has been carried off, or is it proved? |
46795 | The sun rose red this morning, you may have noticed? |
46795 | Then it will be necessary, if Kate is rescued, that the village be entered under cover of darkness? |
46795 | Then we can expect to get away from here, and start things moving at the village of Kiashuta? 46795 Then we must try to find Kenton, Pat and Blue Jacket?" |
46795 | Then what makes you frown and look so black? |
46795 | Then you could not know anything about our sister, or the location of Black Beaver''s lodge? |
46795 | Then you found a chance to talk with the maiden, did you, Blue Jacket? |
46795 | Three? |
46795 | True,replied his brother in the same guarded tone;"but should we be captured or killed what then would become of poor little Kate? |
46795 | Well, do we try for that bear to- night, Bob? |
46795 | Were they Shawanees, Reuben? |
46795 | What do you think they believed must have happened, Bob? |
46795 | What does this magic mean? |
46795 | What for you say zat, young monsieur? |
46795 | What has happened? 46795 What if he comes to tell us it is Our Kate?" |
46795 | What is eet ze young monsieur would say to us? |
46795 | What is it, Reuben; what have you found to give tongue that way? |
46795 | What is zis you tell us, hey? |
46795 | What makes you say that? |
46795 | What say you to that, Sandy? |
46795 | What were you two talking about just now? |
46795 | What worries you now, Bob? 46795 What would you do, hothead?" |
46795 | What''s going on here? |
46795 | What''s that you are saying? |
46795 | Whatever you think best, that will I do, Bob? |
46795 | Where could we have found a better friend, Bob? |
46795 | Where did you see the Indians, Reuben? |
46795 | Where? |
46795 | Who can say? |
46795 | Who saw the Indians? |
46795 | Who''ll go with me ter look''em up? |
46795 | Why does he turn his eyes up to the tops of the trees every little while? |
46795 | Why white boy shoot French trapper? |
46795 | Why, what else could be done? |
46795 | Will he desert us, then? |
46795 | Yes, yes, and when they arrived what did they learn? |
46795 | You ask why, great Pontiac? |
46795 | You do not think Pontiac suspected you, I hope? |
46795 | You mean Pat O''Mara? |
46795 | You mean about that Frenchman, Armand Lacroix? |
46795 | You mean the Great Lake, on the shore of which, somewhere, the Iroquois have their village-- is that it? |
46795 | You shoot at French trader? |
46795 | Yours? |
46795 | Zat if we let you go free, you take us to ze place where we can peek up much of zis same yellow sand in ze rock? 46795 A windy night may be a long time in coming; and how can we hold back? |
46795 | And I think we''re pretty lucky to get off as easy as we did, eh, Sandy?" |
46795 | And, while the forest is fairly alive with enemies, what chance would we have for getting clear?" |
46795 | Are you positive that Kate is with these Indians? |
46795 | Ask him if he will help us, wo n''t you, Bob? |
46795 | Bob winced under the sharp pain; but he had accomplished his end, and what mattered a trifling cut? |
46795 | Bob, can you make her stop dancing around like that, and speak? |
46795 | Bob, what can all that shouting mean?" |
46795 | But I got him, did n''t I? |
46795 | But how long a time must elapse before the excited owners of all these painted lodges would settle down into quiet, so that operations could begin? |
46795 | But how we know you keep your word? |
46795 | But what if, through some little misfortune, they were discovered? |
46795 | But what is this you tell us of Larue? |
46795 | But where can Kate be, do you think?" |
46795 | But why half a dozen of them; and what sort of business had brought them here to this tree, that must be a land mark in the neighborhood? |
46795 | But why should he have stolen her at all? |
46795 | But, Bob, have we not rested enough? |
46795 | But, remember, you said I was to have the first shot at the old honey thief, if he does make his appearance?" |
46795 | CHAPTER XVIII THE BIG WATER AT LAST"WILL we ever get there, do you think, Bob?" |
46795 | CHAPTER XXIV KENTON''S LIFE WITH THE INDIANS"MUST we wait for night to come, Bob, before we can make a move?" |
46795 | CHAPTER XXIX THE WORD OF AN INDIAN CHIEF"WHAT is he going to do, Bob?" |
46795 | CHAPTER XXVI THE WAR DANCE"WHAT of the weather?" |
46795 | Can you make it out still, Bob?" |
46795 | Did Blue Jacket know? |
46795 | Did it mean that the idle wish of Sandy was to be thus quickly fulfilled? |
46795 | Did n''t he prove that he was a true friend to us?" |
46795 | Do we go there next time, Bob?" |
46795 | Do you know him, Blue Jacket?" |
46795 | Does the paleface boy see the one who took tobacco and maize from the white man''s hand, and then stole his daughter?" |
46795 | First tell me what you seek, so far away from your home?" |
46795 | Four Iroquois say? |
46795 | Had Sandy been to blame? |
46795 | Had it not been for this paleface boy, where now would be your leader? |
46795 | Haf you not ze eye to see zat aftaire ze first fire ze buck he nevaire run far? |
46795 | Haf zey lost some one from zere family? |
46795 | Harkness?" |
46795 | Harkness?" |
46795 | Has any one been hurt like father was?" |
46795 | He has made the journey once, why not again?" |
46795 | How Bob, Sandy see um?" |
46795 | How could I attend to all the traps, and hunt in the bargain, without you? |
46795 | How could Pontiac strike the flint that will make the whole border blaze with fires, if he lay here on this ground, dead?" |
46795 | How did you manage it, you and dear Sandy? |
46795 | How know?" |
46795 | How long this pursuit would keep up, who could say? |
46795 | I wonder if that firebrand has been about again, trying to burn us out?" |
46795 | I''d be a pretty chap to go off unprepared, would n''t I? |
46795 | Is Pat O''Mara waiting for us to come in, so that we may all start out together?" |
46795 | Is it a very large place; are the Senecas feeling bitter against the white settlers; and what do they do when not on the warpath?" |
46795 | Is it not grant? |
46795 | Is it not splendid news, brothers?" |
46795 | Is it our sister, and those braves the Senecas who stole her away from our mother''s cabin?" |
46795 | Is there a fire? |
46795 | It keeps getting harder and harder; but nothing is going to stop us, is it, Bob?" |
46795 | It makes me out von liar, and think you I vill stand for zat from a boy like you? |
46795 | It was as if one said to his comrade:"Shall we listen to what he has to say?" |
46795 | May we go now?" |
46795 | Meanwhile, what of Bob? |
46795 | Now, tell me if you please, vat brings you up to zis country, so far avay from ze happy cabin on ze Ohio, la belle river?" |
46795 | Now, you remember how he looked at our sister Kate when he came in for a supply of tobacco and maize? |
46795 | S''pose we hold one like hostage till time come zat you carry out promise?" |
46795 | Sandy was not so ready a reader of human nature, and immediately exclaimed in a whisper:"What success did you have, Blue Jacket? |
46795 | Should the reckless boy have restrained his impulse to shoot down the wretch who would slay the great Indian leader in cold blood? |
46795 | Tell me, did the same foot make both prints?" |
46795 | That ought to help us greatly, Bob, do n''t you think?" |
46795 | This fellow thrust himself forward, and, scowling darkly, demanded in fairly good English:"What for you say zat ze game is yours? |
46795 | Was the wind really strengthening, or did Bob dream it simply because he wished for such a thing to come about? |
46795 | Was zat girl belong to zem, I would like to know?" |
46795 | What can it be, do you suppose, Bob?" |
46795 | What can we do then, Bob?" |
46795 | What do you suppose they will do with us now? |
46795 | What hunt so far away settlement?" |
46795 | What if Kate had already been carried off by some wandering red man? |
46795 | What is zis I see?" |
46795 | Who could tell what the next shuffle of the cards might bring forth? |
46795 | Who?" |
46795 | Why can not we use that?" |
46795 | Will the great Pontiac keep his word by giving her back to our charge, and letting us depart for the cabin where a mother mourns?" |
46795 | With the vast wilderness stretching all around for hundreds of miles, how would they ever know where to look for her? |
46795 | Would n''t mother''s eyes just dance to see the piles of combs full of sweetness, perhaps enough for the whole winter?" |
46795 | Yes, they would be on their guard; but what of that, Bob? |
46795 | You are too young to be wandering around the country as he does, Sandy; and think, what would mother do without you? |
46795 | You ask what sall we do wif zem? |
46795 | You have keen hearing, Sandy; did you not make out what our neighbor, Peleg Green, was calling then?" |
46795 | You promise me to do everything a man could for your sister''s and your mother''s well- being?" |
46795 | but how about Blue Jacket? |
46795 | can I belief my eyes? |
46795 | cried Sandy, gripping his brother''s arm convulsively;"did you hear that, Bob?" |
46795 | vat shall be done wiz zem?" |
46795 | what if he gets clear away?" |
46795 | what if we lose them, and have nothing left to follow? |
46795 | what is it, Bob?" |
46795 | why did not Colonel Boone, or Simon Kenton, happen along at the time they were starting?" |
