Excerpt from The Ward of Tecumseh
J ack did understand. For a few seconds he stood quite still; then he too walked away, white faced and silent.
The next morning he went out to hunt; that is, he took a light shot-gun and tramped away into the half dozen square miles of tangled woodland that lay at the back of the Telfair barony along the Tallapoosa River. But as he left his dog and his negro body-servant, Cato, at home, he probably went to be alone rather than to kill.
