What do you want, Jock Campbell!
gpt
I want a word with you under a flag!
human
Say what you have to say, but keep outside that gate!
gpt
John Drogue, says he,
human
Oh, do you know that? Then tell me, Jock, if you truly possess the information.
gpt
Very well, said he calmly.
human
You are two white men, a Montagnais dog, and a girl. And pray tell me, sir, how long do you think you can hold us off?
gpt
Well, said I,
human
What folly! he exclaimed hotly.
gpt
Do you think to prevail against us?
human
Why, I don't know, Jock. Ask Beacraft yonder, who hath a bullet in his belly. He's wiser than he was and should offer you good counsel.
gpt
I offer you safe conduct if you march out at once!
human
I offer you one of Beacraft's pills if you do not instantly about face and march into the bush yonder!
gpt
Your blood be on your heads! he bawled.
human
I can not hold my Indians if you defy them longer!
gpt
Well, then, Jock, said I,
human
I'll hold 'em for you, never fear!
