"I only keep this for medicinal purposes," said the other, blinking nervously, "and and I don't usually produce it when there are any newspapermen around." "But you," said Braith, sipping the mixture with relish, "do you take none yourself?" "I don't drink," said the other, and swallowed his coffee in such a hurry as to bring on a fit of coughing.
Newspapermen came from the city, and Solem had to pilot them up the mountain and show them the spot where it had taken place. If the body had not been removed at once, they would have written about that, too.
