Chapter VII
DALE DAWSON'S PHILOSOPHY Passing out to the road, the Colonel being somewhat in advance, Bob laid his hand on Dale's shoulder. "There are lots of things to be learned out of schools, as well as in," he said, falling into step, "and some of them I can teach you better than Miss Jane. You mustn't hesitate to ask me, nor be put out--offended, I mean--if I volunteer things for your own good. Understand?" "Hit seems thar hain't nuthin' but goodness down hyar," the mountaineer murmured.
