Bland Blenkinsop of the Establishment, who lifted up his voice after dinner for a short discourse of two hours. "Mrs. Brough is, between ourselves, a poor creature, and has no sperrit of her own.

Bad Bill Brough, a way-back tough Raised hell when he struck town; With gun-in-fist met Sergeant Twist It sure was some show-down. Cow Run was reached in the gathering dusk. Seen under winter conditions the drab little town looked dreary and uninviting enough as the party negotiated its main street.
