When one lives all the time with rough men in the woods or on the rivers one gets the habit.

Once I swore a good deal, and the cure, Mr.Tremblay, took me to task because I said before him that I wasn't afraid of the devil.
But there is an end of that too, Maria.

All the summer I am to be working for two dollars and a half a day and you may be sure that I shall save money.

And in the autumn there will be no trouble finding a job as foreman in a shanty, with big wages.

Next spring I shall have more than five hundred dollars saved, clear, and I shall come back...
