This particular fold of downs behind Salisbury might have been a hump of / prairie near Winnipeg. The team that came over the rise, widely spaced / between pole-bar and whiffletrees, were certainly children of the / prairie. They shied at the car. Their driver asked them dispassionately / what they thought they were doing, anyway. They put their wise heads / together, and did nothing at all. Yes. Oh, yes! said the driver. They / were Western horses. They weighed better than twelve hundred apiece. He / himself was from Edmonton way. The Camp? Why, the camp was right ahead / along up this road. No chance to miss it, and, ‘Sa-ay! Look out for our / lorries!'
