He is remarkably delicate and beautiful, the handsomest as he is the smallest of the warblers known to me.

The Diamond Creek Cañon, although far inferior to its giant neighbor, was nevertheless a wonderful excavation, striking audaciously into sombre mountain recesses, sublime with precipices, peaks, and grotesque masses.

Still, however, I had seldom been unfurnished in my rambles with the means of defence. My temper never delighted in carnage and blood.
Everyone liked Rollo the great majority on sight, the rest as soon as they heard that he would be a millionaire on the death of his Uncle Andrew. There is a subtle something, a sort of nebulous charm, as it were, about young men who will be millionaires on the death of their Uncle Andrew which softens the ruggedest misanthrope.
Before long, this portion of my property was also run through, and I was finally obliged to borrow the sportsman's pointed slippers, in which I managed to get along over the ruggedest piece of creation I ever traversed, and reached our camp about three P.M.

You come on with me, and we'll make it through mebbe. "'No, I says; 'here I sticks.
