The dim light was sufficiently strong for Maurice to note the cold gleam in its eyes, and he shuddered. "Some day you'll try your monkey-shines on a puff-adder er a black-snake," he prophesied, "an' then you'll wish you hadn't gone clean crazy.","What cheer! How are ye, Captain, how are ye this fine morning? Have you heard the news?",After the people had finished killing the buffalo and cutting up the meat, they missed this young woman. No one knew where she had gone, and her relations were frightened and very sad because they could not find her. So her father took his bow and quiver and put them on his back and said, "I will go and find her"; and he climbed the bluff and set out over the prairie.,"De--de--dead--dead!" she stammered, shrinking back.,Patricia looked inquiringly at Elinor, who smiled at her serenely in return, much to Patricia's bewilderment.,“Stop and chin with me just a little, won’t you, marmsey?”,“If you wish to do so.”,"It would be rude to deny that," he says, with a slight shrug.
