"Are the reasons that have brought my brother here urgent?"
"They are."
"Good! my brother can speak, I am listening."
Tranquil rose, and threw his rifle over his shoulder.
"Where is the hunter going?" the Indian asked.
"While you tell Loyal Heart the message I will take a stroll in the forest."
"The white hunter will remain; the heart of Black-deer has nothing hidden from him. The wisdom of my brother is great; he was brought up by the Redskins; his place is marked out at the council fire."
"But perhaps you have things to tell Loyal Heart which only concern yourselves."
"I have nothing to say which my brother should not hear; my brother will disoblige me by withdrawing."
"I will remain, then, Chief, since such is the case."
