Yes Mrs. Watson he should have been here a half-hour ago and he would too if he had ridden Sunger instead of his own horse. You think a lot of that pony of yours don't you Jack? and a motherly-looking woman came to the doorway of a small cottage and peered up the mountain trail which ran in front of the building. Out on the trail itself stood a tall bronzed lad who was in fact about seventeen years of age but whose robust frame and athletic build made him appear several years older. Yes Mrs. Watson the boy answered with a smile I do think a lot of Sunger and he's worth it too. Yes I guess he is. And he can travel swiftly too. My goodness! The way you sometimes clatter past my house makes me think you'll sure have an accident. Sometimes I'm so nervous I can't look at you.
