This, then, was the trail that the outlaws must have followed away from the lake. He stooped to examine closer.
Some also who had moved up and down in a groove all their previous lives, and had made all about them miserable or uncomfortable by their unbending and ungracious habits, had learned the wisdom, and happiness, too, of bending aside a little from the path of their own prejudices to accommodate a neighbour.
The two ends should match exactly, or there will be trouble at a later stage. Now cut, down the centre of each a groove for one edge of A to run in.
