pride and said: "I knowed ye was the
stuff the night ye went to Garney's grave, an' I knowed it again when
ye crossed the Big Swamp. Yan, ye could travel anywhere that man could
go," and in that sentence the boy's happiness was complete. He surely
was a Woodcrafter now. He stammered in a vain attempt to say something
appropriate, till Sam relieved him by: "Three cheers for the Head War
Chief!" and when the racket was over the women opened their baskets
and spread the picnic feast. Raften, who had been much gratified by
his son's flow of speech, recorded a new vow to make him study law,
but took advantage of the first gap in the chatter to say:

"Bhise, ye'r two weeks' holiday with wan week extension was up at noon
to-day. In wan hour an' a half the Pigs is fed."
