too much for it, but he assured us that it was not talk that did it, but rather
a fire in the cook stove at which he was trying to dry it after being out in a
rain storm, and only for his wife’s insisting through her sense of smell, that
something was afire, did he realize that he had fearfully mutilated his head
gear.
