We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

IN THE FOG Eben. — So you’d better come out o’ that thing, mister. Doctor. — You understand, don’t you, that I’m not afraid of your guns. You may take anything of mine you like, but don’t imagine for one moment that I’ll be quiet about this to the authorities. Zeke. — All right. But we’re needin’ a doctor right now. Doctor. — Oh, has anyone been hurt ? Eben. — It’s for you to say if he’s been hurt nigh to the finish. Zeke. — So we’re askin’ ye to come along, doctor. Doctor. — Very well. If you’ll let me get out of here. Sound. — Door opens . . . slams metallically. Doctor. — ( Interrogatively ) Well. Take me to your man. Where is he? Eben. — Yonder. Zeke. — Under the tree, where he fell. He’s bad wounded, we’re a-fearin’. Doctor. — I don’t know you men, you know. Do you suppose I could have a better look at you ? Zeke. — Why not? {Pause) Raise yer lantern, Eben. Eben. — Aye. {Pause) Doctor. — {Appalled . . . gasps) Good Lord ! Zeke. — {Impassively) That’s Eben. I’m Zeke. Doctor. — But great heavens, man, what’s happened!? Has — has there been an accident or — or — or what? Your faces, streaked with dried blood. It’s in your hair, in your beards! What's happened ? Zeke. — Mischief’s happened, stranger. Eben. — Mischief enough. Doctor. — But . . . Zeke. — So if ye’ll be cornin’ along, we’d be ever so much obliged, that we would. Doctor. — {Still shocked . . . low) Yes, yes, of course. 25
