Whatever shall we do?" she moaned. "I'm a right smart of a nuisance, ain't I?" drawled the wounded man unexpectedly. She leaned forward quickly. "Where are you hit?" "In the shoulder, ma'am."
The skin of a silver-tip bear was stretched beneath a writing desk, a trophy of Arlie's rifle, which hung in a rack above.
