Let us be patient.
Tull's anger may cool, and time may help us.

You might do some service to the village--who can tell?
Suppose you discovered the long-unknown hiding-place of Oldring and his band, and told it to my riders?
That would disarm Tull's ugly hints and put you in favor.

For years my riders have trailed the tracks of stolen cattle.

You know as well as I how dearly we've paid for our ranges in this wild country.
