Benson thrust the food aside, and Blake ate in silence. Then he took out his pipe. "Now," he said, "you can go to sleep when you wish. You're probably tired, and it's a long ride back to camp."
It wanted only half an hour to dinner-time, and there was the meat roasting away by itself, and the potatoe-pan boiling over. You never heard such a fizzling as it made in your life in short, everything was in a mess, and there was no cook. "Well! I basted the meat for a few minutes, took the potatoe-pan off the fire, and then ran up-stairs to put on my bonnet.
