"But where in this world have you been, man?" she asked. "Nowhere in this world," he answered. "I've been taking a little side-trip to hell!" "You cert'nly look like it, mister!" the woman shuddered, closing the wide V at her bosom, the flaring garment clutched in her great ring-encumbered hand. "Will you tell me, then, about my friends?" he asked. "Gone; that's all we know," said she.
"One yip out of you, and you get a bullet out of your own gun!" I warned him; and then I got speech with the driver, a squat, thickset Irishman, whose face and brogue were both strange to me.

There is one side-trip that no one should miss, and though we had once journeyed by railway train to Melrose Abbey and Abbottsford House, we could not forego a second visit to these famous shrines and to Dryburgh Abbey, which we had missed before.
