It was the recurrence, a hundred-fold increased in power, of a strange emotion that for the last three years had arisen in him. "Yes, Cal Bain's in town, full of bad whisky an' huntin' for you," repeated the elder man, gravely. "It's the second time," muttered Duane, as if to himself. "Son, you can't avoid a meetin'.

When you have been with her, when you think of her, it is as if you were in church only a good deal more so." "Very convenient and edifying, to have such a private chapel in one's house. Bob, in this mood I can trust you.
"The more devoted a woman shows herself, the sooner the man sobers down and becomes domineering.
