take a good noun and a half of hard
l.aiiis 10 get so far, 1t was certain they
uiu NOT expect me to pass for some
tlme. Ihat cutoff through the lane
must have been ten miles the shorter
tourney
This reflection gave me some hone
l might be able to slim by In a
gallop before they could take horse.
Yet could not afford TO waste nue.

means 10 follow, and would not be in

desperation ana folly might carry him.

could hardly be possible that Jerome
made the trip so quickly, yet

Listening more critically 1 decided
hey We're travelling too slowly to be
