The towns are scattered from here on, and you won't strike a decent meal except at the railway stations.
Taking all these things into consideration, I advise you to make your headquarters here for the winter." "Thank you," returned Mr.Merrick pleasantly.

"It's too late for us to back out now, even if we felt nervous and afraid, which I assure you we do not." "We are not looking for excessive comfort on this journey, you know," remarked Patsy.

"But thank you for your warning, sir.

It has given us great pleasure; for if there were no chance of adventure before us we should all be greatly disappointed." Again the landlord shook his head.
"Right ?" asked Wampus, at the wheel.
"Go ahead," said Mr.Merrick, and slowly the big car started upon its journey into the Golden West.
The air was keen and bracing, but not chilly.
