to eat?"
"Oh, yes, very much."
The squatter, raking in the ashes of the fire, took out a fine leg of
venison, the pleasant odor of which filled the air. Then they sat down
to eat.
The night was gorgeous; the moon came out high in the heavens above
the canyon; in the thicket the mavis began to sing sweetly; the fire
burned brightly, and Orso was so filled with joy that he chanted with
gladness. Both he and the girl ate heartily. The old man had no
appetite; he looked upon little Jenny, and, for some unknown cause,
his eyes were filled with tears.
Perhaps he had been once a father, or, perhaps, he so rarely saw
people in these deserted mountains.
