Chapter VIII
"What's the idear?" the second wanted to know. "Goin' way off thar jes' to git up a mountain, when thar's plenty right hyar, higher ones too?" He indicated the ranges to the east. "Any place up that way to get out of the rain?" I asked, for the clouds were dropping again with the threat of gathering storm.
