Leighton Douglass handed to his cousin a bunch of the delicate lilac blossoms of acanthus, tied with a wisp of some ribbon-like grass, and taking off his spectacles, replied: "Leo unduly exalts my memory at the expense of her own; and we have all levied heavily on her fund of topographical accuracy."
It was a relief to get out into the gay street to her carriage, and to the hotel where the attendants hovered about her as bees about their queen. She was in high spirits all through the luncheon, and Douglass was carried out of his dark gravity by her splendid vitality, her humor, and her hopefulness. "All you need is a hearing," she said.

At the junction of Horse and Squaw creeks, some seven miles from where Grace Carter was lying in her hammock awaiting the arrival of her brother and mother, Ken Douglass outspanned his weary scraper team and called his day's work done.
