Chapter XII
The lark will make her hymn to God, The partridge call her brood, While I forget the heath I trod, The fields wherein I stood. 'Tis dule to know not night from morn, But deeper dule to know I can but hear the hunter's horn That once I used to blow. --The Only Son IT WAS the third day after Torpenhow's return, and his heart was heavy. “Do you mean to tell me that you can't see to work without whiskey? It's generally the other way about.”
