We may merit to the full Ruskin's scathing indictment of those who look upon the Alps as soaped poles in a bear-garden which we set ourselves "to climb and slide down again with shrieks of delight," we may become top-fanatics and record-breakers, "red with cutaneous eruption of conceit," but we are happy with a happiness which passeth the understanding of the poor people in the plains.
"Let go your anchor and heave ahead!" "We'll have to make good time," said Sandy. "Can you run?" "We're the original record-breakers when it comes to working our legs!"
