The ground was wet and slippery and their task looked almost beyond their strength, but Charnock knew he would get into trouble if he were seen going to their help. Since he was not in view of the foreman where he stood on top of the bank, it was prudent to remain there. The log swayed as its point caught a stone, and Festing's hands slipped on the muddy bank.
These were the plain facts; what my aunt imagined is beyond guessing. Before my marriage I went to Loch Awe, to prepare the house on Innistrynich and furnish it.

My way in those days was the usual human way of thinking, that what is good for one's self is good for everybody else.
The idea came to me that maybe 'Gene does poach and occasionally take a deer out of season. Meat is so high it wouldn't be surprising. They have a pretty hard time scraping along. I don't know as I'd blame him if he did shoot a deer once in a while. "Well, after I'd been on beyond and made my estimate on the popple, I came back that way.
