We've just come five miles, with the wind at our backs--an' we're half froze.

Lefty just told me that Miss Della left about three hours ago.

If that's the case she's likely in town, snug an' warm, somewheres.

We'd ought to have nosed around a little before we left, but we didn't, an' mebbe she rode right by your place, thinkin' to stop in on the way back.

You left early, you know.
