"Does each tell the other when he starts upon a hunting-trail or for scalps?"
"When there is any great purpose, yes."
"Well, I don't choose to do so. But, Raven, I want you to keep a sharp look-out for the white girl while I am gone. Will you do so?"
"The eyes and ears of the Little Raven will be open."
"And you need not say what I have gone for to any one. I shall give out that it is to hunt; that will be enough."
"When will White Wolf start?"
"I don't know. When will you marry me?"
"When you come back, ask me."
"Why not answer it now?"
"Because he might never return, and then the girls of the tribe would point their fingers at her and cry out shame!"
