That's a simple statement of fact."
For a moment the boys stood looking out of the window, and the bear sat looking in. It was too much for Bruin that gaze of exultant victory. He struggled a moment with the trap, then, with one vigorous leap, he cleared himself and went head and shoulders into that window.

I've seed several of the same sort, seed them afore the battle and arter the battle; and I know what's in the heart of the girl. Yis, I know what's in the heart of the girl," and the old man looked at his companion across the camp fire.
