This
last
remark
brought
the
slightest
tinge
of
colour
to
the
cheeks
of
the
young
Creole
;
though
she
seemed
uncertain
what
construction
she
was
to
put
upon
it
.
Notwithstanding
its
ambiguity
,
she
did
not
press
for
an
explanation
.
On
the
contrary
,
she
preferred
shunning
it
;
as
was
shown
by
her
reply
.
"
If
you
think
so
,
papa
,
I
shall
not
go
out
again
.
Though
to
be
cooped
up
here
,
in
this
dismal
dwelling
,
while
you
gentlemen
are
all
abroad
upon
business
--
is
that
the
life
you
intend
me
to
lead
in
Texas
?
"
"
Nothing
of
the
sort
,
my
daughter
.
I
have
no
objection
to
your
riding
out
as
much
as
you
please
;
but
Henry
must
be
with
you
,
or
your
cousin
Cassius
.
I
only
lay
an
embargo
on
your
going
alone
.
I
have
my
reasons
.
"
"
Reasons
!
What
are
they
?
"
The
question
came
involuntarily
to
her
lips
.
It
had
scarce
passed
them
,
ere
she
regretted
having
asked
it
.
By
her
uneasy
air
it
was
evident
she
had
apprehensions
as
to
the
answer
.
The
reply
appeared
partially
to
relieve
her
.
"
What
other
reasons
do
you
want
,
"
said
the
planter
,
evidently
endeavouring
to
escape
from
the
suspicion
of
duplicity
by
the
Statement
of
a
convenient
fact
--
"
what
better
,
than
the
contents
of
this
letter
from
the
major
?
Remember
,
my
child
,
you
are
not
in
Louisiana
,
where
a
lady
may
travel
anywhere
without
fear
of
either
insult
or
outrage
;
but
in
Texas
,
where
she
may
dread
both
--
where
even
her
life
may
be
in
danger
.
Here
there
are
Indians
.
"
"
My
excursions
do
n't
extend
so
far
from
the
house
,
that
I
need
have
any
fear
of
Indians
.
I
never
go
more
than
five
miles
at
the
most
.
"
"
Five
miles
!
"
exclaimed
the
ex-officer
of
volunteers
,
with
a
sardonic
smile
;
"
you
would
be
as
safe
at
fifty
,
cousin
Loo
.
You
are
just
as
likely
to
encounter
the
redskins
within
a
hundred
yards
of
the
door
,
as
at
the
distance
of
a
hundred
miles
.
When
they
are
on
the
war
trail
they
may
be
looked
for
anywhere
,
and
at
any
time
.
In
my
opinion
,
uncle
Woodley
is
rights
you
are
very
foolish
to
ride
out
alone
.
"
