Aunt Amelia was evidently in a passion. "You know what's been going on over there, well enough, Frank Bronson!" "I don't even know what you're talking about." "Oh, you don't? You don't know that Isabel takes George's side simply because he's Eugene Morgan's best friend?" "It seems to me you're talking pure nonsense," said Bronson sharply. "Not impure nonsense, I hope!" Amelia became shrill.
I stopped an' looked past him through the open door where his bookkeeper-payin'-an'-receivin'-teller-cashier, an' general factotum was busy behind the cheap grill.

Jeb Rushmore was out with the class in tracking, teaching them how to feel a trail, and Tom sat down on his own couch, glad to be alone. He thought of the members of his own troop, in and about his own patrol cabin, ministering to Dory Bronson. He wondered what they were saying about him and whether Roy would discuss him with others.
