tailieunhanh - The Chase Of Saint-Castin

The waiting April woods, sensitive in every leafless twig to spring, stood in silence and dim nightfall around a lodge.

Such a habitation usually resounded at nightfall with Indian noises especially if the day s hunting had been good. The mossy rocks lying around were not more silent than the inmates of this lodge. You could hear the Penobscot River foaming along its uneasy bed half a mile eastward. The poles showed freshly cut disks of yellow at the top and though the bark coverings were such movables as any Indian household carried they were newly fastened to their present support.
