> Choice quotes:
>
> "All the morning, they kept together, picking up trap after trap, each one
> empty. On first leaving camp, they had the disagreeable sensation of being
> followed. In the dense spruce thickets, they occasionally heard a branch
> snap after they had passed; and now and then, there were slight rustling
> noises among the small pines to one side of them."
>
> "As he hurried towards camp, under the tall trees, the silence and
> desolation of the forest weighed on him. His feet made no sound on the
pine
> needles, and the slanting sun rays, striking through among the straight
> trunks, made a gray twilight in which objects at a distance glimmer
> indistinctly. There was nothing to break the ghostly stillness which, when
> there is no breeze, always broods over these sombre primeval forests."
