But thoughts such as these occurred to him less and less as the distance between him and the East grew greater. By the time he dropped off the train at Williams, Arizona, where he changed to the day coach that would take him to the Grand Canyon, his mind was so full of the future that there was no room for the things he had left behind him. “Well—that was because of the boat-hook, you see; but I asked him to excuse me and we shook hands.” Julia accustomed herself to walk in the fine evenings under the shade of the high trees that environed the abbey.
