To Katherine's eyes, accustomed to unending stretches of prairie, browning under a scorching sun, this blue, cool lake was like a dream of Eden. "Maybe the color comes from below," said Slim, yawning as the light on the water made him sleepy again. "Wouldn't I like to go down underneath the water and lie there, though," he continued dreamily.
"It isn't as though Paul were a very young man. He wouldn't expect anything very romantic. He isn't really a romantic man himself." "And I shall always love Martin," pursued Maggie.
