There's a bit more blow coming out of those clouds yet." "Say, what do they teach you at Annapolis?" grinned Foss. "To go sailing only in calm weather?" "Since you ask," Dave replied as quietly as before, though a slight flush mounted to his face, "one of the things they teach us at the Naval Academy is consideration for women. Now, if just we four fellows were going out, I wouldn't say a word."
Well, but you know, Miss Dora, I being what I am, I get more good out of a lecture at the Hall of Science than I should out of Father Russell. I should be quarrelling with him all the time, and wanting to answer him. 'Oh, you couldn't, said Dora eagerly, 'he's so good, and he's a learned man I'm sure he is. Mr. Foss, the curate, told me they think he'll be a bishop some day.
But this would be much later in the year, and in the meantime Foss River would sleep. The night before the sale of "Lord" Bill's ranch, he and Jacky went for a ride. They had thus ridden out on many evenings of late.

"They tell that story of every ruined place, be it city, temple, or house; and even if it be, we have more cause to dread evil men than evil spirits." The guide hesitated no longer, and struck into a bypath, which penetrated the depth of the woody marsh through which the Foss Way then had its course.
This I relate as I heard it, without guarantee. I only saw Foss once, though, strange as it may sound, I have twice talked with him. He lives out of Calistoga, at a ranche called Fossville.
