Robert and Willet were silent , sharing perhaps in his emotion . The religion and beliefs of the Indian were real and vital to them , and if Tododaho promised success to Tayoga then the promise would be fulfilled . `` I think , Robert , '' said Willet , `` that you 'd better keep the first watch . Wake me a little while before midnight , and I 'll take the second . '' `` Good enough , '' said Robert . `` I think I can hear any footfall Tandakora may make , if he approaches .
