"Well, chief?" he asked.
"Does my brother reckon upon being able to go much farther?" said the Indian.
"Pardieu! chief, you have put exactly the same question to me that Don Tadeo has."
"What does the great chief say?"
"Why, he says that our horses are completely knocked up."
"Ooch! and what does my brother with the golden hair mean to do?"
"How can I tell? Let Trangoil-Lanec advise me; he is a warrior, renowned in his tribe."
"I think I have a good idea."
"Pray let us have it, chief; your ideas are always excellent."
The Indian bowed modestly.
