You want to get a move on, Carnally advised.

It's 'most six miles yet to Rain Bluff and I'm feeling ready for my supper.

So am I, said Graham;
gpt
Sure! grinned Carnally.

You don't find the man who gets his dinner every day leading in a long, hard march. That was Allinson's trouble when he first took the trail with me.
gpt
There may be disadvantages in having regular meals, but I know from painful experience what an ache in the side you get when forced to go without, Andrew returned.

It's one of the things I've learned in Canada.
gpt
You'll learn a few more of the same kind before you're through, Carnally drawled.
human
But how do you like your moccasins?
gpt
They're comfortable; the American shoe people have made them well; but I'm not sure they'll last the journey through. It's lucky we have some spare pairs among the provisions Mappin has sent up.
human
It might have been better if we'd hired two or three boys at the Landing and packed the truck up along with us,
gpt
Mappin engaged to forward the things. It's his business.
human
I never deal with a man who's not straight if I can help it. You can't tell when he may go back on you, unless you can fix it so that his interest is the same as yours; and you and Mappin don't agree.
gpt
That's a fact, Andrew admitted.

However, we'll soon find out about the provisions.
