walk meant a quarter of a mile at
most. He had never looked the term
up in Webster or he would have
found 1t to mean: "a short walk in
the country means anything from two
miles to twenty miles, In this case 1t
meant almost two miles. The road
was mostly through the woods, and
there were mosquitoes by the millions.
There were frog ponds and swamps.
FIe met one stray dog and one tramp
who wasn't stray, but knew where he
wanted to go. The dog took one look

'I not only think, but know I'm
going. 1 was going to propose 1t to
you, but you can go and see your
mother and I'll go up to Shutdown
Farm alone. Id like to put in at least
a week in the country in some quiet

What do you mean by that?" he
