Yet he held no grudge against Bateese. An odd sort of liking for the man began to possess him, just as he found himself powerless to resist an ingrowing admiration for Marie-Anne.

"Do you mean am I given to 'seein' things at night'?" Carroll asked.

"I'm dead broke, and if I don't have two thousand dollars to-morrow I'll quite likely be pinched." "I'm jealous," stated Johnny. "I had intended to do it myself." "I've been expecting you to," acknowledged Collaton. "That's one of the reasons I came to you." "I admire you," observed Johnny dryly. "You bled me for two years, and yet you have the ingrowing gall to come and tell me you're broke."

Karstens, accustomed to be clean-shaven, had been troubled since our first glacier camp with an affection of the face which he attributed to "ingrowing whiskers," but when many hairs had been plucked out with the tweezers and he was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse and the inflammation spread to neck and temple, it was more correctly attributed to an eczema, or tetter, caused by the glare of the sun.
