Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Conquering Hero Behind the smoke which rose from the pleasant crackle of the camp-fire hung a background of pearly mist into which were enamelled the dark spruce trees at the edge of the lake. There was still the tang of frost in the air, and the pail of spring water left outside the tent over night showed a crust of ice, although it was not yet mid September. Donald had done his chores, had helped chop wood, fetch water and peel potatoes for breakfast, and was now back in the guides´ tent, watching over his pipe the "sports" wake up one by one to the morning. To the casual eye there was little to choose between "sports" and guide, for, after a fortnight in the woods, chins and cheeks were unkempt with whiskers, shoepacks were muddy, clothes were torn and untidy. But the guides were "tented" while the "sports" had the greater comfort of the log cabin, built primarily as a hunting camp in this lake-enchanted haunt of moose. And according to etiquette the "sports" had their meals first - or as Dickie, the cook, said, "Breakfast is ready for the human beings - the guides will have theirs later."
