It was quite empty now, save for Tuesday and herself. Nor was there sight of man or beast in all the valley. Haig's cattle, like Seth's and the other ranchmen's, were grazing in the summer pastures, no doubt in little shut-in valleys far up among the pines yonder, where the violet mists were deepening. She mounted her horse again, and rode slowly up the hill.
Just what it was that Joan should share Nancy could not have told, she simply knew that she wanted Joan wanted what Joan represented. With the passing of winter and the early coming of spring Nancy and Doris reacted to the charm of The Gap. The shut-in days were past.
A fall that dazes one even for a few minutes is liable to befuddle one as to direction and cause one to lose one's way. Few persons lost in the mountains travel in a circle. The typography of the country prevents them, high ridges confine them to limited areas. They are as apt to travel in one direction as in the opposite, but they may usually be looked for and found in a shut-in valley or cañon.

"Don't try to see any further than the law allows," he remarked, "and it's all right." There was nothing to see, Frank found, but the sides, back and roof of a shut-in delivery wagon.
At the gorge that men called a "master shut-in", which was Sim's rendezvous for such an emergency meeting, he found that others had arrived before him, and among the faces into which he looked was that of Rick Joyce, black with a wrath as yet held in abeyance, but promising speedy and stormy eruption.
To the eastward and westward of the great valley rise the sentinel peaks of the two enclosing mountain ranges; and across the shut-in area the river plunges from pool to pool, twisting and turning as the craggy and densely forested lesser heights constrain it.
Having failed to prove Wren a subject for some "shut-in" institution, these same lawyers were now engaged on another scheme, that of trying to show that the child was detained against her will, and was actually in the possession of Cora Kimball.
