"Girty has been here several times of late.

I saw him conferring with Pipe at Goshhocking.

I hope there's no deviltry afoot.

Pipe is a relentless enemy of all Christians, and Girty is a fiend, a hyena.

I think, perhaps, it will be well for you and the girls to stay indoors while Girty and Silvertip are in the village." That evening the entire missionary party were gathered in Mr.Wells' room.
