Nor would we pass if we could." "Why not?
I see no reason for our staying here save that we have to do it." "One is there, Dagaeoga, whom we cannot leave a prisoner in their hands." "Who?
It's not Black Rifle! Nor Rogers, the ranger! They would never let themselves be taken!" "No, Dagaeoga, it is neither of those.

But while I watched at the cliff's rim I saw the warriors bring in that young Englishman, Grosvenor, whom you know and like so well." "What! Grosvenor! What could he have been doing in this forest!" "That, I know not, Dagaeoga, save that he has been getting himself captured; how, I know not either, but I saw him brought in a prisoner.
Tandakora came, while I watched, and smote the captive heavily in the face with his hand.

That debt I take upon myself, in addition to my own." "You will pay both, Tayoga, and with interest," said the hunter with conviction.

"But you were right when you assumed that we could not go away and leave Grosvenor a prisoner in their hands.

Because we're here, and because you saw him, your Manitou has laid upon us the duty of saving him." Robert's face glowed in the dusk.
"We're bound to see it that way," he said.
