“Not over twenty-two, I should say.”

“Only a few minutes ago he told me that he was taught by a renegade white man and his family.”
“And also learned from him, I suppose, not to war against women and children. He could set you a good example, chief.”
“I follow my own inclinations, Miss Fallon.”

“Up at the head of the valley, in the cabin I spoke of.”
