"Do you know where a fellow could find some good hunting?"
"You'd have to go down to the lake, and strike into the woods most anywhere."
"Where is the lake?"
"Down that road a couple of miles."
"Isn't there any other way of getting into the woods?"
"Not unless you strike through the fields, an' then you'd be goin' right away from the best hunting. There's a fork in the road a little more than a mile down, an' the people mostly take the right-hand turn. How far are you countin' on traveling?"
"I don't know; just want to have a little trip."
"I don't reckon you want a guide, eh?"
"I guess I couldn't stand anything quite so expensive. I heard one of them fellers say he wanted, three dollars a day."
"Yes, some of 'em get pretty big prices; but I'd put myself alongside of the best, 'less it comes to deers."
