        <description><![CDATA[When Matt's father returns with their family and sees how well Matt has taken care of things in his absence, he tells him,

"You've done a grown man's job, son...I'm right proud of you".

These words of highest praise from his father momentarily take Matt's breath away.  He realizes that, had he given up hope of their return and gone away with the Indians, he would never have heard these words.  Matt recognizes that

"this was how Attean had...]]></description>

"Not likely.  I'm keeping as fur off from that river's I can, till things quiet down"...Tell the truth, I got away from that town just in time.  Warn't nothin' they could prove, but they sure had it in for me.  So I says, Ben, I says...looks like now's the time to get moving".
