Something warned him to be more careful, and afterward he was grateful for his caution, for had he plunged recklessly to the bottom, in all probability in would have been his last dive. He was aware of a large body moving near him and he dodged just in time to avoid a collision, striking out for the surface.
There was a risk in that, of course, granting that the stock inspector was the kind to lie in wait for him. Ward rode to the ridge, with his blanket rolled and tied behind the cantle.

"God will punish you if you do," said Dora solemnly.
When it was over and Natalie was on the point of leaving the room, Masson looked at her critically. "You are pale," he remarked. "You are like a ghost." "Is it not becoming?" she asked. "Yes."
