Finally Adam set down the gun with a contented air, and observed, "Haow airly kin ye git up?" "At three, if you say so."

"Then it was she who went away in the wagon last night," said the young man, a note of disappointment in his voice. "Airly this mornin'," corrected his host. "Jist half an hour or so 'fore sun-up." "I trust her mother is not ill." "No tellin'," was Striker's non-committal response. It was quite apparent to Kenneth that they did not wish to discuss the matter.
