Excerpt from At Love's ExtremesNat answered with divers canine antics and the two turned away from the valley, the man walking with long firm strides and the dog trotting perfunctorily at his side. Their way led among the ¿anking spurs and foot-hills of the range, now over great fragmentary bowlders, now through yawning clefts and down wind ing defiles, sometimes on bare ridges of shale, anon under the dark odorous brushes of the pines. The cloud came after them, sending in advance its gusts of moist, fragrant air. A vast wing reached up to the zenith and a few big drops of rain pattered down. A morning shower in the mountains comes at race-horse speed. The swiftest birds are caught by it. A ¿ock of noisy crows went ¿apping across the valley, striving in vain to outstrip the slanting ¿ood that fell with a broad, washing roar from that rushing cloud.We are in for a soaking, Nat, grumbled Moreton, as he plucked up the collar of his shooting jacket a deuced bad outcome for our first day's shooting in America!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
