“Your father doesn't like me," Charley said to Wesley later when Wesley had gotten them away from the crowd.
"Father doesn't seem to like anyone," Wesley said. "Don't let it worry you."
"But you brought me to his house. I don't like to be in the home of someone who doesn't like me."
"But my brother Skylar claims it is his home, and I believe that Skylar does like you," Wesley said. "He's Indian like you."
"Yes. We are both Cherokees. What is Skylar's clan?"
"I believe I've heard him say that it's Wolf."
"Then we are related. I'm Wolf clan."
"That's amazing, Charley. So you and my brother are related. Does that make us related too?"
"I don't think so, Wesley, because the relationship is through our mothers."
"Well, that's too bad. I would like to be your brother.”

“Is there a Mrs. Garret?" Charley asked.
"They're all three dead," said Phillip. "Dead and buried and gone to hell, likely."
"Why do you say that?" Charley asked.
"They must have all been terrible sinners to have married our father," said Keenan.”

“No. Wait. I hear a rider coming. Do you have your pistol?" He drew one of his own out from under his great coat and cocked it.
"No, Father. I don't carry one. 'He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.' "
"And he who lives by the gun shall last longer than the other fellow.”
