"Exactly! What about him ?" "He's goin' away!" said Johnny.
"He's goin' away!" echoed Molly.
"Now, that's too bad, of course," the young man assented; "but think what nice things he'll bring you when he comes back." "He ain't comin' back!" announced the heir, with the tone that conveys a sorrow unspeakable.
"He ain't comin' back!" wailed the little girl, and, being a woman, yielded again to her weakness, unashamed.
Burrell tried to extract a more detailed explanation, but this was as far as their knowledge ran.

So he sought out the Canadian, and found him with Gale in the store, a scanty pile of food and ammunition on the counter between them.
"Poleon," said he, "you're not going away ?" "Yes," said Doret.

"I'm takin' li'l' trip." "But when are you coming back ?" The man shrugged his shoulders.
"Dat's hard t'ing for tellin'.

I'm res'less in my heart, so I'm goin' travel some.

I ain' never pass on de back trail yet, so I 'spect I keep goin'." "Oh, but you can't!" cried Burrell.
