"It won't be long before it is dark. It's already twilight under these trees. Now for the trout." Trout Fishing in the Wilderness
The other dogs were fighting valiantly, but they were fighting a losing fight, and Charley's untrained eyes could see that there would soon be an end of it, with the wolves victors. Toby had taken his rifle with him, and Charley was unarmed. There was no chance for defence, and no escape.
But although he was slightly older and taller than Frankie he could not lift the iron so often or hold it out so long as the other, a failure that Frankie attributed to the fact that Charley had too much tea and bread and butter instead of porridge and milk and Parrish's Food.
I know you have some delusion that it is better and higher to be as you are, but I tell you that I had rather have married my Charley and known him as he really was and yes, and even lost him than stood on high and given good advice to a whole army.

Unsay those words without even saying you are sorry for them, and my arms are open to you still, and so is my heart. 'I'll not unsay them. I'll say them again.
With his head resting on his two hands, and his elbows on the table, he sat long, silently gazing on the signature, while his mind revelled in the past, the present, and the future.
