"She rarely joins our raiding parties." And Keleher checked, but as he suspected, Diane was not present. "Well, we move on empty handed. Starbuck, you take your men back to the encampment and round up stragglers or anyone who remained behind. We'll wait here."

"Time enough to see about him later, if he's still with the encampment. Naturally, if he's guilty he won't go unpunished."
"If he's guilty?"
"That's what I said."
"You're growing soft, Keleher."
