[A Jolly Fellowship by Frank R. Stockton]@TWC D-Link bookA Jolly Fellowship CHAPTER VI 25/33
As for Corny, I know he hated her.
I don't believe he spoke a word to her all the time we were with her. The next morning, we talked over the Indian question, and then went down to the fort.
We hadn't been there for three or four days, but now we had decided not to stand nagging by a couple of red-skinned savages, but to go and see the captain and tell him all about it.
All except the proclamation--Rectus wouldn't agree to have that brought in at all.
Mr. Cholott had introduced us to the captain, and he was a first-rate fellow, and when we told him how we had stormed his old fort, he laughed and said he wondered we didn't break our necks, and that the next time we did it he'd put us in the guard-house, sure. "That would be cheaper for you than buying so many beans," he said. As to the two Indians, he told us he would see to it that they let us alone.
