(Mrs. McFee watches Freda and Sitka Charley.)
FREDA
(Severely.)
I thought you had started up the trail with the dogs long ago. Anything the matter?
SITKA CHARLEY
Me come back speak to you. Me think, um Lisznayi woman wait at water-hole, no Vanderlip come, maybe she make much trouble. Much better Lisznayi woman go long way off. Maybe I think very good tell Lisznayi woman lie. Maybe say Vanderlip meet her twenty mile down trail. One Indian man take her on sled twenty mile down trail, then she sure make no trouble.
FREDA
(Laughing.)
A good idea. You hurry and fix it up, quick, and then start after Flossie.
(Sitka Charley starts to go.)
