The bannock is first grade; I think that's all that matters. If you don't mind, I'll take another bit." Carrie laughed. "Looks as if one could make you happy by giving you things to eat!
This plan was a relief to the boys' minds, for though it entailed a certain delay in the forward journey, the result of the scouting might curtail matters in the long-run.
