Violet, coming in a few moments later, finds them still discussing the all-important theme. "You are very kind. The river is greatly swollen," she says, to gain time.

"An aim!" he says, bitterly. "I think I have found an end to my life where most fellows find a beginning." Having said all this without a break, Jenkins feels he has outdone himself, and retires on his laurels. To one more lodge they were called that night and the lodge owner taught the man his song and dance, and gave him his medicine. Then the Wolf chief and his friend went home and slept. The runnel hath.
