“I don’t care where you’re going,” said Bob laughing. “We’ll go exploring, like we did at the Labyrinth.” Gentle and just, “I’m mighty glad of that,” said Whitney. “But go on; I won’t interrupt any more.” “You bet you did,” was Bob’s answer. “Good for you. I don’t think there is any question but what the cattlemen are behind this.”.
