"
No
,
no
!
"
laughingly
rejoined
he
.
"
That
is
but
a
mistaken
belief
on
the
part
of
Zeb
Stump
,
who
judges
my
skill
by
comparison
,
making
use
of
his
own
as
a
standard
.
"
"
Is
it
modesty
?
"
reflected
the
Creole
.
"
Or
is
this
man
mocking
me
?
If
I
thought
so
,
I
should
go
mad
!
"
"
Perhaps
you
are
anxious
to
get
back
to
your
party
?
"
said
Maurice
,
observing
her
abstracted
air
.
"
Your
father
may
be
alarmed
by
your
long
absence
?
Your
brother
--
your
cousin
--
"
"
Ah
,
true
!
"
she
hurriedly
rejoined
,
in
a
tone
that
betrayed
either
pique
,
or
compunction
.
"
I
was
not
thinking
of
that
.
Thanks
,
sir
,
for
reminding
me
of
my
duty
.
Let
us
go
back
!
"
Again
in
the
saddle
,
she
gathered
up
her
reins
,
and
plied
her
tiny
spur
--
both
acts
being
performed
with
an
air
of
languid
reluctance
,
as
if
she
would
have
preferred
lingering
a
little
longer
in
the
"
mustang
trap
.
"
Once
more
upon
the
prairie
,
Maurice
conducted
his
protégée
by
the
most
direct
route
towards
the
spot
where
they
had
parted
from
the
picnic
party
.
Their
backward
way
led
them
across
a
peculiar
tract
of
country
--
what
in
Texas
is
called
a
"
weed
prairie
,
"
an
appellation
bestowed
by
the
early
pioneers
,
who
were
not
very
choice
in
their
titles
.
The
Louisianian
saw
around
her
a
vast
garden
of
gay
flowers
,
laid
out
in
one
grand
parterre
,
whose
borders
were
the
blue
circle
of
the
horizon
--
a
garden
designed
,
planted
,
nurtured
,
by
the
hand
of
Nature
.
The
most
plebeian
spirit
can
not
pass
through
such
a
scene
without
receiving
an
impression
calculated
to
refine
it
.
I
've
known
the
illiterate
trapper
--
habitually
blind
to
the
beautiful
--
pause
in
the
midst
of
his
"
weed
prairie
,
"
with
the
flowers
rising
breast
high
around
him
,
gaze
for
a
while
upon
their
gaudy
corollas
waving
beyond
the
verge
of
his
vision
;
then
continue
his
silent
stride
with
a
gentler
feeling
towards
his
fellow-man
,
and
a
firmer
faith
in
the
grandeur
of
his
God
.
"
Pardieu
!
'
tis
very
beautiful
!
"
exclaimed
the
enthusiastic
Creole
,
reining
up
as
if
by
an
involuntary
instinct
.
