"
In some respects the mind of Good Indian was extremely simple and
direct. His knowledge of women was rudimentary and based largely
upon his instincts rather than any experience he had had with
them. He had been extremely uncomfortable in the knowledge that
Evadna was angry, and strongly impelled, in spite of his hurt
pride, to make overtures for peace. He was puzzled, as well as
surprised, when she seized him by the shoulders and herself made
peace so bewitchingly that he could scarcely realize it at first.
But since fate was kind, and his lady love no longer frowned upon
him, he made the mistake of taking it for granted she neither
asked nor expected him to explain his seeming neglect of her and
his visit to Miss Georgie at Hartley.
She was not angry with him. Therefore, he was free to turn his
whole attention to this trouble which had come upon his closest
friends. He reached out, caught Evadna by the hand, pulled her
close to him, and smiled upon her in a way to make her catch her
breath in a most unaccountable manner.
