Skipper Ed and Jimmy were in advance and had Skipper Ed's komatik loaded with the larger proportion of the remaining seals, and were lashing the load into place, when Bobby arrived. "I've got a heavier load than yours will be, so I'll go on with it," Skipper Ed shouted as Bobby drove up. "There are only two small ones left for you, and the cooking outfit and your snow knives in the igloo.
Then, in a tense whisper he hissed into Ed's ear: "These are the men after Denny. I know them by their boat. Don't let on who we are. We're going to Buler's." "Sure, we can rouse somebody up if they are closed," answered Ed, quickly falling in with Jack's scheme. "That will do us, all right," he added to the men. "That is, if it won't be too much out of your way." "Not at all," said one.
But, I guess a man oughtn't to have bad luck. The odds are that it's his own fault if he has." "Ah, now I understand about your sending for Eddie." "I wrote to him when I knew I'd been reported." "But what are you going to do?" "It's all right about me; I can hire out again. It's you I'm thinking of. I felt pretty sure you wouldn't go back to Ed's. I don't fancy you taking a position as lady help.
I found out it was going to cost considerable to fix my car, and as I had some other er well, expenses to meet, I just used some of Ed's cash. I knew I could pay it back later. "That is, I thought I could, but my folks shut down can my allowance, and when I missed getting that job which Paul Hastings got I was in a bad way.
How John envied him! And pretty soon Ed "experienced religion." John anxiously watched the change in Ed's face when he became one of the elect. And a change there was. And John wondered about another thing.
Dave was glad that he had swallowed "Young Ed's" incivility, not only for his own sake, but for the sake of Alaire. After all, he argued, it was barely possible that Ed had spoken the truth. There WERE many sorrel horses; the evidence of those rain-washed hoof-prints was far from conclusive; even the fact that Urbina belonged to the Tad Lewis outfit was no more than a suspicious circumstance.
"He's a driver Ed is," he said, laughing, "and he won't pay you much. Ed don't let go of money. He's a tight one." Night had come when they reached the town where Ed lived, and the three men walked over a bridge, beneath which roared a waterfall, toward the long poorly-lighted main street of the town and Ed's hotel.

Ed's sonorous voice the sick man would stir fretfully and demand more. But because he listened to everything without discrimination, the older man came to the conclusion that it was the companionship that counted. It pleased him vastly. It reminded him of Max's boyhood, when he had read to Max at night. For once in the last dozen years, he needed him. "Go on, Ed.
