Chapter XVI
LAST CALL FOR BREAKFAST It was still Iowa when Mallory awoke. Into his last moments of heavy sleep intruded a voice like a town-crier's voice, crying: "Lass call for breakfuss in the Rining Rar," and then, again louder, "Lass call for breakfuss in Rinin-rar," and, finally and faintly, "Lasscall breakfuss ri'rar." Mallory pushed up his window shade. The day was broad on rolling prairies like billows established in the green soil.
