And yet we 've got to set up the tent ourselves , and attend to the horses ; and we 'll have to scrape some of the mud off this beautiful vehicle . '' `` We can leave that till the morning , '' I suggested . `` No , it will be too hard and dry then . Here we are -- and here are two tepees of Indians also ! '' There they were , right around the bluff . The inmates were standing in a group before them , looking at us as composedly as if we were not at all an unusual sight . `` I 'm going to stay here anyhow , '' said Kate doggedly . `` Oh , do n't , '' I said in alarm . `` They 're such a villainous-looking lot -- so dirty -- and they 've got so little clothing on . I would n't sleep a wink near them . Look at that awful old squaw with only one eye . They 'd steal everything we 've got left , Kate . Remember the ham -- oh , pray remember the fate of our beautiful ham . '' `` I shall never forget that ham , '' said Kate wearily , `` but , Phil , we ca n't drive far enough to be out of their reach if they really want to steal our provisions . But I do n't believe they will . I believe they have plenty of food -- Indians in tepees mostly have . The men hunt , you know . Their looks are probably the worst of them . Anyhow , you ca n't judge Indians by appearances . Peter Crow looked respectable -- and he was a whited sepulchre .
Now , these Indians look as bad as Indians can look -- so they may turn out XXXXX be angels in disguise . ''
