`` But you do n't know where to look for them , and goodness knows what you 'll get into while you are looking . '' `` We 'll call at the M.P. barracks and get an Indian to guide us . Indians always know the dry spots . '' `` The stage driver has decided not to make another trip till the October frosts set in . '' `` But he always has such a heavy load . It will be quite different with us , you must remember . We 'll travel light -- just our provisions and a valise containing our wedding garments . '' `` What will you do if you get mired twenty miles from a human being ? '' `` But we wo n't . I 'm a good driver and I have n't nerves -- but I have nerve . Besides , you forget that we 'll have an Indian guide with us . '' `` There was a company of Hudson Bay freighters ambushed and killed along that very trail by Blackfoot Indians in 1839 , '' said Aunt Jennie dolefully . `` Fifty years ago ! Their ghosts must have ceased to haunt it by this time , '' said Kate flippantly . `` Well , you 'll get wet through and catch your deaths of cold , '' protested Aunt Jennie . `` No fear of it . We 'll be cased in rubber . And we 'll borrow a good tight tent from the M.P.s. Besides , I 'm sure it 's not going to rain much more . I know the signs . '' `` At least wait for a day or two until you 're sure that it has cleared up , '' implored Aunt Jennie .
`` Which being interpreted means , ` Wait for a XXXXX or two , because then your father may be home and he 'll squelch your mad expedition , ' '' said Kate , with a sly glance at me .
