:41:00
My eyes are sore.
:41:03
They do not see very well.
:41:05
But, when they better, I go and see.
:41:09
We do not ask you to see
it, we ask you to stop it.
:41:12
When winter comes, dancing stops.
:41:15
There will be no problems.
:41:19
Many of your people have
taken to the badlands.
:41:21
If they do not return,
:41:23
we'll have no choice but
to consider them hostile.
:41:27
They think the soldiers
have come to kill us.
:41:32
I not believe this,
:41:34
but they are afraid for their families.
:41:38
You understand.
:41:40
And the warriors with them?
:41:42
What's to keep them from joining up
with kicking bear, or the other renegades?
:41:47
That is all I have to
say about this question.
:42:00
"The belligerent old scalp-taker "
:42:02
harangued his listeners with a brazen speech
:42:04
"in which imminent
hostilities were threatened.
:42:06
"The army can do nothing until
the murdering redskins have broken out,
:42:09
"and the young bucks have
burned a dozen ranches,
:42:11
and slaughtered a score
of women and children-
:42:13
- " general miles' orders are quite specific.
:42:15
To offer protection, and
maintain control and discipline.
:42:18
So we're all just expected to sit here?
:42:28
In the meantime,
:42:30
you are directed not to force
any issue that might result in an outbreak.
:42:33
Discretion, mr. Royer.
:42:35
If you and the other civilian
authorities had demonstrated as much,
:42:38
the seventh would not be
here now to enforce order.
