I went down by the ol' cabin in Buffalo. All the boys were there old One Eye, Bearcane, Gangreen Grierd, wiley Scotston, Birdie the trapper from way back in Virginny and that crooked fur-nabbin Paulsen, both of which I ne'er would met again if I hadn't been tailin those injuns who stole my Bonny. I hadn't seen them fellas since the snow in in Maine!! Paulsen's got a full man's beard these years and Birdie's going a trifle loony, precisely why he's beena bird e'er since way back though his God-given's really Bertram.
it was a god ol' time even though I reckon Paulsen's got his eye on my new rabbit liners and I'm afearing Birdie an' Scotston'll be lookin' to head t'wards westerly Detriot or Cinci with me to see bout my son, after of course I go fetch Bonny from them red-bottomed bumploes! Which I have a full mind to do, Just may be a time before I can an' I might need some help if they don't see to lookin' fer a fur change, I may need t'pull some wiles and bag their eyes before they can grab their tommehawks!
