Excerpt from Lost on Umbagog

"Now, look here, Ned, if you don't believe in this expedition, you can just stay at home and read Virgil."

"You know very well that I'm up to that sort o' thing as much as any of you fellows, " replied Ned, with dignity. "Only it's all nonsense to rush off to the woods in the dead of winter, without looking the dangers in the face."

Ned was always the conservative force in our Parliament, and we were pretty well used to his grumblings and croakings.
