He did not reply, but Hunch answered:
"He didn't marry Levi's sister right."
"He didn't? Let me kick him."
She ran to thus express her contempt for Gill, but Levi restrained her and led him away.
Hunch picked up the long knife which Mlle. Faro had taken from Gill and thrown on the ground.
"Gill, you must go back to Three-Sisters and marry Lizzī," said Levi, when they were out of the tent.
"All right, Levi, I'll go; but, to tell you the truth, I'm ashamed to meet Lizzī."
"I ain't doubtin' you," said Cassi, who, noiseless as a shadow, had followed to assist Levi if Gill should attempt to get away.
That was all that was said, the brothers not being talkers. One of them constantly remained with Gill.
Two days later the Colossal Aggregation went into winter quarters, and the members of it from Three-Sisters, accompanied by Gill, started homewards.
