When I opened my eyes sunlight was creeping through the hatch. "Is this not Mr. Lathrop?" a stranger asked, when I stepped out in the open air and virtually for the first time, so weary had I been the night before, saw the pointed hills, the broad river, and the great fleet of ships lying at anchor. "Yes," said I, surprised at the man's respectful manner.
"David," she said, "yesterday was twenty-five years since our marriage. We we are growing old, David." She spoke with a falter, believing what she said. For though the blood is running strong and warm, and the eye is as clear as the heart is loyal, twenty-five years is a weary while to count back to one's youth. David turned and looked at her.
The Colonel's head was buried in his hands. His exclamation sounded like a sob. "My God!" he murmured. Then there was silence. Only the nightingale went on with his song. The Baroness trifled with some grapes and looked languidly round the room. "My dear Louise," she declared, "it is the truth what every one tells me of your country. You are a dull people. I weary myself here."
Rezanov admitted that he was too weary to ride, and refused to travel in the post carriage. On the third day the servant managed to hire a telega from a superior farmer and they started immediately, the heavy luggage having been consigned to a merchant vessel at Yakutsk.

I should have hated John if I had married him, for he'd expect love, where Strathay will be content to give it. Why, the one honest thing I've done was to break with John. I wish I could afford to keep on being honest! May 5. Lord deliver me from the well-meaning! Because of one pestilential dun, I've done what the weary waiting for money, money, money would never have driven me to do.
At the close of the weary pilgrimage of a day, through such narrow trails as that which the Indian or the buffalo had made through the forest, or over the prairies, they were compelled to build a cabin at night, with logs and the bark of trees to shelter them from the wind and rain, and at the camp-fire to cook the game which they had shot during the day.
As they had no resource, however, but to go forward, they still kept on, though at a much slower pace, being very weary and fatigued. The afternoon had worn away into a beautiful evening, when they arrived at a point where the road made a sharp turn and struck across a common.
Certainly her silence contained no confession, and there was nothing entitling any one to believe that her dejection was other than a consequence of her grief. But yet she seemed so weary as to give the impression that, feeling herself lost, she was giving up the fight.
The chase was kept up on the Keezeltown road till darkness overtook us, when my weary troops were permitted to go into camp; and as soon as the enemy discovered by our fires that the pursuit had stopped, he also bivouacked some five miles farther south toward Port Republic.
