Doctor, you're witness to that ?" He had grown deeply excited.
"I'm witness to nothing.

I never dreamed that you could be so interested in any human being." He nodded to himself.
"Do you know how I explained your greyness to myself?
As that of a man ennuied with life--tired of living because he had nothing in the world to occupy his affections.

And here I find you so far from being ennuied that you are using your whole strength to keep the guilt of murder away from another man.

It's amazing.

The boys will never believe it." He continued: "A man who raised a riot in your own house, almost burned down your place, shot your man, stole a horse--gad, Drew, you are sublime!" But if he expected an explanatory answer from the rancher he was disappointed.
