"I do not think," said the youth to himself, "that I could have hit on a prettier name, and so novel a one too! Clarence Linden, why, if I were that pretty girl at the bar I could fall in love with the very words. Shakspeare was quite wrong when he said, 'A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

Glover, working hard with his paddle, and just barely keeping the coracle bows on, peered and grinned as if he were facing a hurricane. There was no time to have a care for sunken bowlders, reaching up to rend the thin bottom. The one giant danger of the cataract was enough to fill the mind and bar out every minor terror.
