: : Well, now Hurry, glad yer enjoyin' the spruce. And that waterin' hole yer talkin' about is Bumppo's Tavern, I'll be bound. Best meetin' place in Mohicanland, and famous throughout the Colony fer congenial company, strong spirits and the occasional Saturday night fight and scalp-takin'. Since we strung out this squirrel and spruce for a while, and it's gettin' kinda late, perhaps ye'd be amenable to meetin' at Bumppo's tomorrow evenin' for a round or two. I'd like to talk to ye more about this huntin' trip yer plannin' on with Natty, too. Mebbe ye'd relish an extra rifle and a second paddle in the canoe while yer lookin' for him.

: Bumppo's it is tomorry night. We'll liven the place up! Much obliged fer the grub 'n all. The evenin's a pleasant one and my feet ain't too sure of the ground they're walkin' on. Care if I sleep out under your eaves? I'll jest roll meself up in my blanket out back and iffn the French or some other scalawag shows up they'll have two muskets pointed at 'em.
: H.H.
Wake up, Hurry. Come on, now - it's gettin' to be late afternoon, and we gotta think about headin' up the trail to Bumppo's. Iff'n we're lucky, we'll get there in time to see Doc Mary yankin' Miss Marcia out from under the billiards table, and the two of 'em goin' at each other tooth and nail - screamin' and pullin' hair and castin' aspersions and such. It's always a great start to a greater evening. Should be quite a crowd there tonight. Annnnd, we got some things to discuss as well about this huntin' trip ye were talkin' about.
