Manton related some of the incidents of a canoe voyage even then being made down the river by his only son Worth and the boy's most intimate friend, Sumner Rankin.

You have been talking Everglades and Big Cypress in a steady streak, for two days to that old Injun. You must have a map of his brain by this time." "We can go through the Everglades to Lake Okeechobee, out through the canal and down the Caloosahatchee, but the Everglades will be much the same as we have seen, only more and worse saw-grass and so harder work.
And when an Indian from the Everglades told Norman that that she really hadn't been married before but just a mother like Carl's mother, my dear " But Diane was gone, stumbling headlong from the tent. Aunt Agatha was to remember her white agonized face for many a day.
