Robbery Under Arms

CHAPTER 11
3/39

People hardly know the rights of them.

He could read all the signs of the bush like a printed book.
He could ride any horse in the world, and find his way, day or night, to any place he'd ever once been to in his life.
Sometimes we should have been hard pushed when we were making across country at night only for him.
