I do not think it would be safe for us to cross this mountain, said the trapper.

Our homes, I do not think, are in that direction. We must have been deceived in our course.

Yonder, said the chief, pointing down the valley,
gpt
Pshaw! chief. You will be as much the chief of your people when you return as ever. Probably they have supposed you dead and elected another chief; still, according to your customs, if you return, the authority would be by universal acclamation, given back into your hands.

It did not last long though, for my flame gave my keepsakes to a good for nothing popinjay from down east; one for a string to bind round a broken knapsack, the other to carry home with him for a show. That was enough for me. I just told her I was done with her.

You in love! that is capital! ha! ha!
