One more point I must mention though I cannot
explain it.
I did not know what her purpose might be; I did
notcare. Food, rest,help, and proper nursing were within our grasp: we must proceed
atonce.
Never once did she mention thefact to
me.
Thetree was one of those on which, six years ago,
we had scented ourfindings. On the way out it had taken us a year or longer to
