Explore "Sick Heart River" by John Buchan on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
One blue day succeeded another, and each was followed by a colder night. The earth was yawning before it turned to its winter sleep. Leithen, though the days tired him to desperation, yet found the nights tolerable, and could let his thoughts stray from his bodily discomfort. He listened to Johnny's talk.
Johnny talked much, for he had lost his shyness of Leithen, and this kind of trip was child's play to him.
