"I never felt better!"
Ted's heart sang. Game laws were game laws, and they applied to Carl Thornton as well as to everyone else. But Crestwood was important to the economy of the Mahela.

"I have an idea."
"I expect you have. Br-r! It's getting cold."
"It will be colder. We have to hurry."
John Wilson looked at him curiously. "What's up?"
"I'll tell you in a minute."
