I I can't believe it! So far as my friendship for Miss Farwell goes, that is only an incident. It does not matter in itself." Dr. Harry puffed vigorously.
The big boys were not long dipping their faces in and getting a drink of the cool, clear water, but the girls had to take their hats off, roll up their sleeves, and go through a "regular performance," as Harry said, before they could make up their minds to dip into the water.
That must be a disagreeable country indeed! What then have they to live upon? Harry. They have a species of deer, which is bigger than the largest stags which you may have seen in the gentlemen's parks in England, and very strong. These animals are called reindeer, and are of so gentle a nature that they are easily tamed, and taught to live together in herds, and to obey their masters.
