And then she just began to bawl again at the top of her voice, for she was not only frightened and lonely, but also hungry. "Of course, everything in the woods for half a mile around heard her bawling." And just here Uncle Andy had the heartlessness to pause and relight his pipe. "And then another bear came!" broke in the Child breathlessly. "No, not exactly," responded Uncle Andy at last.
"I be goin' ter stay wid' yer. I'll jist set down by the stove and, case I should git ter sleep, jist bawl out or heave somethin' at me. First I'll go an' git a bite er grub, jist a spud er two an' a dish o' tea; likely th' old woman has some brooze fer me, waitin'. I'll be back so soon ye'll hardly know I been gone."

If I had to choose whether I would lose either art or science, I have not the smallest hesitation in saying that I would lose . . . "
The weeks slipped away and brought with them healing to the wounded man at Seven Mile. He moved from the bed where at first he had spent his days to a lounge in the living room, and there, from the bay window, he could look out at the varied life of the cattle country.
