They were the eyes of a man who has looked for the first time into the radiant, sorrowful face of Love, and read therein all the possibilities the glory and the pain and the supreme happiness which Love holds.
Just when they began to think of returning, Louis noticed a beaten path, where there seemed recent prints of cattle hoofs on a soft spongy soil beyond the creek.
