Climbing is tiring work, but it seemed to me it would have been preferable to what lay before us, a continual descent, by the ruggedest of hill-paths, of nearly two miles, stumbling along in the half light, tired, footsore past description, yet to our everlasting credit be it recorded laughing, or trying to laugh, determined at all costs to make the best of it.
Ellen felt the sun now on her left cheek and knew that the day was waning and that Colter was swinging farther to the northwest.
