Well, Jones, one of them said, in a very subdued tone,
gpt
Never mind, Cole, the other answered,
human
Hush about the broiling, you make me nervous. How about our company? All there?
gpt
Here! all right; five of us, following we do not know who, nor where he will lead us to,
human
Don't know? Well, perhaps you never heard of Jones, son of old Major Jones, away down in old Connecticut. That is me, and I guess you will not be sorry you are following me, especially as Cole says, we were all to be broiled in a heap by those red skins.
gpt
That I shall not, and right glad I am of your services to help us out of as deep an entanglement as I think ever a set of Christians got into,
human
Well, I do not know, but I guess we will cheat them; the moon will be up soon, and then we can ride faster,
gpt
Are you sure of the way you have to go?
human
I guess I am, replied Jones.
gpt
Did I not come over it this morning?
human
Yes, but you might miss your way,
gpt
Might miss! Why young man, where was you educated, to learn the possibility of doing such a thing? There is no such word as failing to a downeaster.
human
I think you must have failed once, or you would not be here,
gpt
The best failure for us that was ever made, said Jane, earnestly.
human
We shall find our way out by that means.
gpt
Only that object is attained, I do not care for the rest, remarked Edward.
human
See yonder the moon is rising, and welcome enough will be its light.
