Still, if you care to think how that track was built, it's not difficult to fancy there's triumph in the whistles and the roar of the freight-car wheels." Wisbech made a sign of comprehension, and Gordon looked hard at Nasmyth. "It's your call." "I heard the river," said Nasmyth. "In fact, I often hear it, and now and then wish I didn't.

Coming as it did upon the very heels of the experiences which had so thoroughly shaken his faith in the old life, he felt himself to be the target for every arrow in the quiver of misfortune.
