Maurice sank weakly down against a tree trunk, and groaned. "Hello, you!" he shouted. "You'll have to back up an' take the run to your left." On his way this side the bridge he met an old man with a stick who stopped in his lame walk to turn about any little heap his eye met. This old man was attended by a dog, who smelt at what the man touched..

"But fifty sticks, Maurice! It's almost more'n she'll need, don't you think?" As he rounded the kitchen, preparatory to a leap across the open space between it and the big wood-pile, Mrs. Wilson's voice came to him, high-pitched and freighted with anger..
