level when he had likker in him. When he Married Woman Seeking Man reached the building, he stepped
up onto the wooden floor. White man's floor, White man's walls, Married Woman Seeking Man but it
didn't feel like any White man building Lolla-Wossiky ever saw. Big open
space inside. Walls very high. First time ever he saw White man build
something that wasn't closed in and dark. In this place a Red man still
maybe glad to be here.
"Who's that? Who are you?"
Lolla-Wossiky turned Married Woman Seeking Man around so fast he almost fell. A tall White man
stood at the edge of the building. The floor was up so high it met this man
at the waist. He wasn't Married Woman Seeking Man in buckskin like Married Woman Seeking Man a hunter, or in uniform like a
soldier. He was dressed like a farmer maybe, Married Woman Seeking Man only he was clean. In Married Woman Seeking Man fact
Lolla-Wossiky never saw such a man in Carthage City.
"Who are you?" demanded the man again.
"Red man," said Lolla-Wossiky.
"It's getting on dusk, but it sure ain't night yet. I'd have Married Woman Seeking Man to be blind
not Married Woman Seeking Man to know you're Red. But I know the Reds close by Married Woman Seeking Man and you ain't from
around Married Woman Seeking Man here."
Lolly-Wossiky laughed. What White man ever knew one Red from another so
well he could Married Woman Seeking Man say who was from close by and who was from far away?
&Married Woman Seeking Man quot;You got a name, Red man?"
"Lolla-Wossiky."
"You're likkered, ain't you. I can smell it, and you don't walk too
good."
"Very likkered. Married Woman Seeking Man whisky-Red."
"Who Married Woman Seeking Man gave you that likker! You tell me! Where'd you get that likker?"
Married Woman Seeking Man Lona-wossiky was confused. White man never asked him
where he got his
likker before. White man always knew. "From White Murderer Harrison," he
said.
"Harrison's two hundred miles southeast of here. What did you call him?"
&Married Woman Seeking Man quot;Governor Bill Harrison."
"You called him White Murderer Harrison."
"This Red Married Woman Seeking Man very drunk."
"I Married Woman Seeking Man can see that. But you sure didn't get drunk at Fort Carthage and then
walk all this way without sobering up. Now where'd you get that likker?"
"You going to lock me up?&Married Woman Seeking Man quot;
