And
she
clapped
her
hands
and
declared
that
she
was
hugely
pleased
.
"
But
it
is
dark
in
here
,
"
she
said
the
next
moment
,
her
shoulders
shrinking
with
a
little
involuntary
shiver
.
"
You
might
have
suggested
a
window
when
the
walls
were
going
up
,
"
I
said
.
"
It
was
for
you
,
and
you
should
have
seen
the
need
of
a
window
.

But
I
never
do
see
the
obvious
,
you
know
,
"
she
laughed
back
.
"
And
besides
,
you
can
knock
a
hole
in
the
wall
at
any
time
.
"
"
Quite
true
;
I
had
not
thought
of
it
,
"
I
replied
,
wagging
my
head
sagely
.
"
But
have
you
thought
of
ordering
the
window-glass
?
Just
call
up
the
firm
--
Red
,
4451
,
I
think
it
is
--
and
tell
them
what
size
and
kind
of
glass
you
wish
.
"
"
That
means
--
"
she
began
.
"
No
window

It
was
a
dark
and
evil-appearing
thing
,
that
hut
,
not
fit
for
aught
better
than
swine
in
a
civilized
land
;
but
for
us
,
who
had
known
the
misery
of
the
open
boat
,
it
was
a
snug
little
habitation
.
Following
the
housewarming
,
which
was
accomplished
by
means
of
seal-oil
and
a
wick
made
from
cotton
calking
,
came
the
hunting
for
our
winter
's
meat
and
the
building
of
the
second
hut
.
It
was
a
simple
affair
,
now
,
to
go
forth
in
the
morning
and
return
by
noon
with
a
boatload
of
seals
.
And
then
,
while
I
worked
at
building
the
hut
,
Maud
tried
out
the
oil
from
the
blubber
and
kept
a
slow
fire
under
the
frames
of
meat
.
I
had
heard
of
jerking
beef
on
the
plains
,
and
our
seal-meat
,
cut
in
thin
strips
and
hung
in
the
smoke
,
cured
excellently
.
The
second
hut
was
easier
to
erect
,
for
I
built
it
against
the
first
,
and
only
three
walls
were
required
.
But
it
was
work
,
hard
work
,
all
of
it
.
Maud
and
I
worked
from
dawn
till
dark
,
to
the
limit
of
our
strength
,
so
that
when
night
came
we
crawled
stiffly
to
bed
and
slept
the
animal-like
sleep
exhaustion
.
And
yet
Maud
declared
that
she
had
never
felt
better
or
stronger
in
her
life
.
I
knew
this
was
true
of
myself
,
but
hers
was
such
a
lily
strength
that
I
feared
she
would
break
down
.
Often
and
often
,
her
last-reserve
force
gone
,
I
have
seen
her
stretched
flat
on
her
back
on
the
sand
in
the
way
she
had
of
resting
and
recuperating
.
And
then
she
would
be
up
on
her
feet
and
toiling
hard
as
ever
.
Where
she
obtained
this
strength
was
the
marvel
to
me
.
