Page 19:-
the landlord related an anecdote which he had just heard at
the farm-house, of an unhappy man who had been lost, like
his two guests and himself, on Carrock; who had passed the
night there alone; who had been found the next morning,
"scared and starved;" and who never went out afterwards,
except on his way to the grave. Mr. Idle heard this sad
story, and derived at least one useful impression from it.
Bad as the pain in his ankle was, he contrived to bear it
patiently, for he felt grateful that a worse accident had
not befallen him in the wilds of Carrock.
