opportunity to kill a bear, and he felt that the time had gone by for him
to class Bluff as a "come-on."
They spent a joyful evening, though, going over the exciting incidents of
the last forty-eight hours again and again.

this sort of thing keeps on at this rate during our two weeks' stay,

plaintively.
