Geddy had not forgotten his experience of Nairn's "hospitable roof," and had given his companion, with considerable force and numerous illustrations, a fair picture of the well-remembered night.

Geddy pocketed his pride and, bowing to circumstances that were too much for him, allowed his horse to follow the other's lead.

Geddy, feeling a little mean, it is true, was careful not to betray any indications of having been there before, but while they were getting into dry clothing in Nairn's bedroom, he drew his companion's attention to a large calabash that stood on the window-sill half full of milk.

There was a bookcase in the room, and it was full of well-bound and well-worn books, "mostly odd volumes--very few series," as Geddy remarked afterwards.

Her head was slowly lowered, and the only answer was a faint whisper of the word, "Inkos--chief!" The incident was trifling, but Geddy noticed it, and noted that his way with his boys and the men about the place was the same, and began to see why they called him "Induna Nairn." As the rain had not abated Nairn insisted upon their remaining overnight.
