Never before in his life had he been without a pardner, to share his ramblings and adventures, but now in that black hole with the steel rails coming down and death on every hand, superstition overmastered him and he rebuffed the hardy Cornishmen, refusing to take any man for his friend. Nor would he return to Mother Trigedgo's boarding house, for her prophecies had ruined his life.
They would go, and be quick about it, for they had been watching from afar and had seen what happened to Dave but Denver brushed them aside and went up to his cave where he could be by himself and think.

The country looked well for copper, with its heavy cap of dacite and the manganese filling in the veins; and it was only a day's journey in each direction from the big copper camps of Ray and Globe. He turned impulsively and reached for his purse, but as he was about to plank down his five hundred dollars in advance he remembered Mother Trigedgo's words.
But at the end when she questioned him about the rest of the prophecy he suddenly recalled Mother Trigedgo's admonition: "Beware how you reveal your affection or she will confer her hand upon another." A shadow came into his blue eyes and his boyish enthusiasm was stilled; and Drusilla, who had been practicing her stage-learned wiles, suddenly found her technique at fault.
