As we walked back to camp George talked. "And you did it so quick
too. Why I was watching you up on that mountain where you went
this afternoon, and you were so busy and running about up there, as
busy as a Labrador fly. You looked just like a little girl that
was playing at building something, and I thought how you were
enjoying yourself. Then the first thing I knew I heard the shots
on the other side of the lake. We did not see you at first. We
just looked across the lake and could see nothing, and we wondered
about those shots, and who could be there. Then Joe said: 'Look
there, up on the mountain.'
"Then we saw you, but we never thought it was you. Then Joe said:
'Why, it's a woman.' Then we only knew it was you. Even then we
could not believe it was you. Who ever would think to see you and
the little short steps that you could go away there, and so quick
too. Why, we couldn't believe it. The men got on to me too. They
said they never saw anything like the way you do. They said they
had been on lots of trips before, and where there were women too,
and they, said to me they never were on a trip before where the
women didn't do what they were told.
