"I see that you are young travellers, and I may help you a bit may be," said the old man; "your way shall be mine." He told them much about the birds and beasts and fish of those parts.
Only epicures dressed their lettuce at table. One cranky old family friend had it served to him in a water bucket, set beside him on the floor. He shook it free of water, cut it, without bruising, to wide ribbons, covered them thickly with hard-boiled egg-yolk mashed fine, then poured upon it clear ham gravy, and strong vinegar, added salt and pepper, black and red then ate his fill.

The Chief said thickly: "Joe, somehow I don't think this is going to work. When do we hit again?" "Three hours plus or minus something," said Joe, dry-throated. "We'll hear from the ground."
