noon
`` There 's them that thinks it madness to keep their words , and there 's them that do n't , Hurry Harry . You may be one of the first , but I 'm one of the last . No red-skin breathing shall have it in his power to say that a Mingo minds his word more than a man of white blood and white gifts , in any thing that consarns me . I 'm out on a furlough , and if I 've strength and reason , I 'll go in on a furlough afore noon to-morrow ! '' `` What 's an Injin , or a word passed , or a furlough taken from creatur 's like them , that have neither souls , nor reason ! '' `` If they 've got neither souls nor reason , you and I have both , Henry March , and one is accountable for the other . This furlough is not , as you seem to think , a matter altogether atween me and the Mingos , seeing it is a solemn bargain made atween me and God .
