A red squirrel came scampering across the open sod before them, pausing as he sensed their presence, then springing to the trunk of a sapling the better to look them over. "Maurice's sick," he shouted in the deaf woman's ear. "According to his yarn," said Eagle with sour solemnity, "they've rooned away with each other." "Then you ain't took to that new teacher, Maurice?".
