Excerpt:
«What's the latest weather report down at the post office, Max?»
«More rain coming, they say, and everybody is as gloomy as a funeral.»
«My stars! the poor old town of Carson is getting a heavy dose this spring, for a fact; nothing but rain, rain, and then some more rain.»
«Never was anything to beat it, Bandy-legs, and they say even the oldest inhabitant can't remember when the Evergreen River was at a higher stage than it is right now.»
