It was a rather large, but comfortless-looking house, evidently concentrating all its entertainment for travellers in the tap-room.
Down at Inverness & Heath's they called him Nature's Rival, but that was mostly jealousy, with a strong dash of resentment. Two of the men in his department had been Maine guides, and another boasted that he knew the Rockies as he knew the palm of his hand.
