We said so many witty things about it -- at least , we thought them witty -- that we laughed continuously through the whole meal , which we ate with prodigious appetite . But with all our driving we were not getting on very fast . The country was exceedingly swampy and we had to make innumerable detours . '' ` The longest way round is the shortest way to Bothwell , ' '' said Kate , when we drove five miles out of our way to avoid a muskeg . By evening we had driven fully twenty-five miles , but we were only ten miles nearer Bothwell than when we had broken camp in the morning . `` We 'll have to camp soon , '' sighed Kate . `` I believe around this bluff will be a good place . Oh , Phil , I 'm tired -- dead tired ! My very thoughts are tired . I ca n't even think anything funny about the ham . And yet we 've got to set up the tent ourselves , and attend to the horses ; and we 'll have to scrape some of the mud off this beautiful vehicle . '' `` We can leave that till the morning , '' I suggested . `` No , it will be too hard and dry then . Here we are -- and here are two tepees of Indians also ! '' There they were , right around the bluff . The inmates were standing in a group before them , looking at us as composedly as if we were not at all an unusual sight . `` I 'm going to stay here anyhow , '' said Kate doggedly . `` Oh , do n't , '' I said in alarm . `` They 're such a villainous-looking lot -- so dirty -- and they 've got so little clothing on . I would n't sleep a wink near them .
