Aside from the furnace and what was going on there, there was little else but a sleeping-tent, a cooking-tent, and the small one I had come on first, which, without the least doubt, contained the sick man. This last tent was of a peculiar construction and showed the primitive nature of everything at this height. It consisted simply of a cloth thrown over a thing like a trapeze.
Brown put the pies on a table in the cooking-tent to cool, while she went to the spring for a fresh pail of water. When she came back she looked at the pies. Then she rubbed her eyes and counted them. "Why!" she cried. "One of the pies is gone! I baked four, and there are only three here. Who took the pie?"
A change of clothes, a good dinner, produced under the most unfavourable circumstances from a wretched little cooking-tent, and a fire burning goodness knows how, in the open, showed the world to be quite a nice place after all.
The sleeping-tent was nearly filled by the bed it contained; and this, lifted a few inches above the ground on pole supports, was of browse or brush and straw, covered with blankets. A square canopy of mosquito-netting protected it. The cooking-tent had a foundation of logs and a canvas top. The floor was of pure white sand.
"I don't believe you children could guess what these sticks are for if you tried all day. And, as it isn't my secret, I don't believe I'd better tell you. You go and ask your mother it's mostly her secret and if she wants to tell you why, all right." "Oh, we'll go and ask mother!" cried Bunny. "Come on, Sue!" The two children found Mrs. Brown in the cooking-tent, getting dinner ready.
"What I want to know is, are you going to make friends with that man and invite him to our table?" "I shall invite him if I see fit," said she. "He is an extremely intelligent person." "Well," answered he, "if you do I shall have a separate table," and he walked away. As soon as he had left Corona, the bishop repaired to the Archibalds' cooking-tent, where he saw Matlack at work.
