No, he would not interrupt Mr.Huysman now, but he would talk it over with Tayoga.
He found the Onondaga standing among the trees, gazing with rapt vision at his star.
"Did Tododaho speak to you ?" asked Robert.
"He did," replied Tayoga earnestly.
"What did he say ?" "That the great war will go on, and that you and I and the Great Bear, who is away, will encounter many more perils.

"I went into the room containing the chest of drawers, the story of which you read, and found there Garay, the spy, trying to open it." "Dagaeoga does not dream ?" "Oh, I thought for a moment or two that I did, but it was reality.
