When the steamer had gone Napoleon Doret went to look for Necia, and found her playing with the younger Gales2, who revelled4 in the gifts he had brought. Never had there been such a surprise. Never had there been such gorgeous presents for little folks. This was a land in which there were no toys, a country too young for babes; and any one whose youth had been like that of other children would have seen a pathos5 in the joy of these two. Poleon had been hard put to it to find anything suitable for his little friends, for although there was all manner of merchandise coming into Dawson, none of it was designed for tiny people, not even clothes.
It was evident that he had pleased them, for when he appeared they ran at his legs like twin cubs7, incoherent and noisy, the pleasure within them too turbulent for expression. They had never played with a toy that Poleon had not built for them, nor worn a garment that Alluna had not made. This, then, was a day of revelations, for the first thing they beheld8 upon opening their packs was a pair of rubber boots for each. They were ladies' knee-boots, the smallest size in stock, but the Gales entered them bodily, so to speak, moccasins and all, clear to their hips9, like the waders that duck-hunters use. When they ran they fell down and out of them, but their pride remained upright and serene10, for were not these like the boots that Poleon wore, and not of Indian make, with foolish beads11 on them? Next, the youthful heir had found a straw hat of strange and wondrous12 fashion, with a brim like a board and a band of blue, which Poleon had bought from a college man who had retained this emblem
