Comrades Two
Excerpt from Comrades Two
Valley things as they come, to some bourne beyond where such unaspiring virtue assuredly meets with a corresponding reward - safe as a two-and-a-half-per-cent investment - but slow. Such beings remind one of Mr. Kipling's Tomlinson, whose soul was not quite white enough for heaven and not quite black enough for hell, so that it had to live all the time between the worlds, and one gathers from the relation of Tomlinson's experiences that the wind which blows there is very cold. That brings me back, for the wind which is now playing games with my four previous attempts, here in the Qu'appelle Valley this April day, is quite delicious, softly assertive, and proud with the vaunt of spring; This beautiful valley, which literally gashes the prairies between Winnipeg and Regina, runs almost due east and west. While driving or riding on the seemingly nu ending trail, the edge of the valley is suddenly attained; there is no warning.
