"Oh, yes," said Rupert enthusiastically; "it is grand."
"I don't see what good it is," rejoined Ben, lying back with a sense of exquisite enjoyment in his chance to rest. "You are not making any money."
"No," replied Rupert, laughing, "but I enjoy the wild mountain scenery; don't you?"
"No; a mountain isn't much to see."
"Then there are the valleys, the woods and the waterfalls."
"Oh, I've seen plenty of them. I don't care for them."
"I suppose that is why you don't care for them. You are too familiar with them."
"I reckon so," drawled Ben.
"Don't you enjoy seeing anything? Is there anything you would rather see than this wild and romantic scenery?"
