Travelling carefully up the ravines, and keeping out of sight of the herd, they came close to them, near enough to shoot their arrows, and they began to kill fat cows. But while they were doing this a war party of Snakes that had been hidden on the mountainside attacked them, and the Piegans began to run back toward their camp.,He seemed convinced by these enquiries at the wharves that at all events Mr Lawrence could have had nothing whatever to do with the communication which Mr Adams had seen Paul place in the hands of Miss Lucy. Who, then, was the sender of the note, and how was it that Paul, who should have been on board his ship since she was on the eve of sailing, should have been engaged to carry the letter? There was really no particular reason why the writer should be a man. Why should not she be a woman? She might even be[Pg 196] a relative of the fellow Paul.

"Dido, is this true?",Judith, with her hat rather on one side and her cheeks flushed from the wind and swift walking, kissed them both breathlessly and tumbled her bundles into Patricia's capacious apron.,"Cause I'm goin' down an' find him. I'll beg you off this time, Anse, if you'll do as I say.","He looked as if he wanted to eat you; and I'm sure I don't wonder at it," says Geoffrey, making the addition to his speech in a lower key.,“But what?” encouraged Bob.,"Alone, Mr. Arkel?",I withered him with a look, or rather tried to wither him, for Tom is no mimosa bud.,"Measles," said Maurice.,"It was found in these grounds.",“Tell me a little about him.”,Billy wriggled free of the golden-rod. "Come on over an' help me move my menagerie an' we'll plan out a way.",May Nell was not taken to her father; he came to her.
