Hes harder to handle than Catlee, went on
Jett.
Didnt you know any better than to fetch women out
here in thisIndian country? She repaired to hertent, there to lie down and rest and
think. CHAPTER VIIIOne day in July a band of soldiers rode into Hudnalls
camp.
Here thehorses could travel, mostly at a trot. She
warmly kissed Milly and then introduced her to Sally and Mrs. Milly wished she could
climb high somewhereso that she might see over the surrounding country.
I cant honestly bring anything bad against
Jett,unless its that hes a brute and is after Milly. Hes beginninto see a hell of a
risk in your way of hide-huntin. Tom did not mind the heat or the flies or the
dust.
The soldiers did not put in an
appearance.
The military road runs from Fort Elliott to Fort
Dodge. Theyhad built a large fire in a wide cleared space to the left of
thecamp.
As I said, theyre a hard lotand jumbled one. But it
was easyto see he thinks Jett is no good.
Jett drove away into the gloom ofthe
woods.
Only this was terrible, because she forgot
everybody except him,and he could not forget them.
It was cooked and eaten long before
sunset.
If you ask her youll find out quick thatshe knows
whats best for her.
Reckon it may work out best, after all, he averred,
brightening. Only this was terrible, because she forgot everybody except him,and he
could not forget them. It had brancheslow down and rose under one of the tall elms.
That, in her opinion, hadbeen strange talk for honest hunters.
