If they found a mine worth the developing, probably they would sell it and blow in the proceeds and be off again as soon as possible. They have been too long away from civilization for anything to surprise them.

Never a mornin' in the cowld winter but she goes out there to see if the frost hasn't killed some of 'em the night before."，Lucy over-night had said she would join them, but she did not appear at the breakfast table. Her father enquired for her, and was told that she had left the house an hour earlier, or perhaps more, to take the morning air and a walk with her dog."From you? Was there ever such a dear silly old goose," says Mrs. Geoffrey, with a faint, loving laugh.
