We were only children and we believed that there had been such things as witches once upon a time and Peg Bowen WAS an eerie creature. "If that's so though I can't believe it we can't do anything," said the Story Girl drearily. "Pat must die." Cecily began to weep afresh. "I'd do anything to save Pat's life," she said. "I'd BELIEVE anything."
He wiped his hands on the sand, and, rising, ran back to Dex. He returned with a whiskey flask. Pat was of tough fiber and tremendous vitality. If the spark were still unquenched, if it could be called back even for a breath, that which Waring knew, yet wanted to confirm beyond all doubt, might be given in a word.

I should have reprimanded him myself if I had not been so full of laughter at his ridiculous appearance."
"There was a question of moving the sleeping blankets to get out of a scorpion patch, but we finally stayed where we were. I refused to mount my horse firmly and flatly until we got out of the worst part of the canyon, so I walked 12 miles when I had to pick every step on sharp stones. On the way back, Pat's horse went head over heels down another steep place but was not killed.
