The Indians start talking, but of course I have no idea what they're saying.  The older one, the leader, says something to the big one with the smallpox scars.  We stop and wait for Mrs. Stewart to catch up.  Smallpox scars holds out his arms.
"Thank you, sir," Mrs. Stewart says wearily.  Sammy tumbles, still asleep, into his arms.
Smallpox Scars takes Sammy behind a tree.
"Where are you taking him?" Mrs. Stewart calls out.  She begins to follow but the tall one holds her arm.
