She must be gotten away.

It was evident that Plausaby would make no effort to raise money to help him and Katy to get away.

Plausaby would prefer to detain Katy.

Clearly, to proceed to pre-empt his claim, to persuade Plausaby to raise money enough for him to buy a land-warrant with, and then to raise two hundred dollars by mortgaging his land to Minorkey or any other lover of mortgages with waiver clauses in them, was the only course open.
Plausaby, Esq., was ever prompt in dealing with those to whom he was indebted, so far as promises went.

He would always give the most solemn assurance of his readiness to do anything one wished to have done; and so, when Albert explained to him that it was necessary for him to pre-empt because he wished to go East, Plausaby told him to go on and establish his residence on his claim, and when he got ready to prove up and pre-empt, to come to him.
