"Yep," he replied, "we saw that steer, too. We've been waitin' here, hopin' we'd hear your whistle. I wonder what time it's gettin' to be?" He would lapse into silence, sucking his pipe, and watching Erie putting away the supper-dishes. "Certainly, Sir William," said Captain Acton. "I shall rejoice to have you with me."
