It's a lonely track the Lachlan's tramping to-night; but I s'pose he's got his ghosts with him." I'd been puzzling for the last half-hour to think where I'd met or heard of Jack Drew; now it flashed on me that I'd been told that Jack Drew was the Lachlan's real name. I lay awake thinking a long time, and wished Mitchell had kept his yarn for daytime.
But I was arrested on the step by the sound of Lachlan's voice in family worship. "This my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry." Lachlan's voice trembled as he read, but he went on with much firmness: "Now his elder son was in the field." "You will not be reading more of that chapter, father," interrupted Flora, with a new note of authority.
Once or twice he had hailed Carr from a distance. In the height of his loneliness he had traversed the half-mile to Tommy Ashe's shack up Lone Moose, only to find it deserted. He learned later that Lachlan's oldest son and Ashe had gone partners to run a line of traps away to the north of the village.
