I've just got a cowardly desire to flee and butt my head against the nearest wall. That's what I ought to do. I don't know what possessed me. I don't know what you'll think of me." "We won't speak of it now. Try to compose yourself and find our lodging-place." "Why, yes, of course. I'll see that you're fixed up comfortably and then I'll get out."

The house contained a hammock and two beds of poles, comforts we had not known for days.

No breath of scandal ever reached these pioneer trail-makers, or, if it did, it failed to find a lodging-place, but blew by.
