“I don’t know. It just never occurred to me. Did it you?”
“I read about them in an encyclopedia,” Gale confessed laughingly. “I’m afraid that is the way most of us become acquainted with places we’ve never seen. It’s a very unsatisfying way.”
“I suppose you have an idea in your head to go to see all the places in the world some day?”
“How did you guess?” Gale demanded gayly. “That is just what I’ve been keeping up my sleeve. Do you possess the same secret yen?”
“I do,” Val said smilingly. “But the places I want to see are a little far to walk and there’s not much hope of my going any other way.”

“Hi there! Come and hear the news!” she called.
“What is it?” Gale asked as they dismounted and left their horses’ reins dangling.
“Hear ye, hear ye,” Carol chanted, “the Sheriff is about to capture the famous outlaws.”
“Just like he did several times,” Val said dryly.
