The Americandiggers that we took up with had met a lot of foreigners in Californiaand other places. They could speak a little Spanish and French, and goton with them. But Jim and I could only stare and stand open-mouthedwhen a Spanish-American chap would come up with his red sash and his bigsheath-knife, while they'd yabber away quite comfortable. It made us feel like children, and we began to think what a fine thingit would be to clear out by Honolulu, and so on to San Francisco, asStarlight w...as always talking about. It would make men of us, at anyrate, and give us something to think about in the days to come. If we could clear out what a heaven it would be! I could send over forGracey to come to me. I knew she'd do that, if I was only once acrossthe sea, ready and willing to lead a new life, and with somethinghonest-earned and hard-worked-for to buy a farm with. Nobody need know. Nobody would even inquire in the far West where we'd come from or whatwe'd done. We should live close handy to one another--Jim and Jeanie, Gracey and I--and when dad went under, mother and Aileen could come outto us; and there would still be a little happiness left us, for all thatwas come and gone.
