Indian (lifting his hands and eyes): Me shoot for big paleface. Great Spirit tell Gerolomo where venison, where duck, where squirrel for big paleface. Great Spirit always take care of big paleface. (Captain Lincoln enters at left and comes down slowly, unseen by Gerolomo. The others salute.) Big paleface take care poor old Gerolomo.

Captain Lincoln (goes to Indian and lays hand on his shoulder): You have obeyed my orders and kept your promise, the whitest soldier among us all could have done no better.
