"Lon McFane doveva essere un pochino di cattivo umore, forse perchè aveva perduto la sua borsa di tabacco; altrimenti mi avrebbe almeno accennato a quella capanna del Lago Sorpresa, prima che ci arrivassimo. Tutto il giorno, gira e rigira, noi ci eravamo dati il cambio davanti alla slitta per aprire un varco ai cani; un lavoro pesante, con quei sandali da neve, e che non contribuiva certo a rendere un uomo chiacchierone; tuttavia a mezzogiorno, quando c’eravamo fermati per far bollire il caffe, Lon McFane avrebbe potuto parlarmi con comodo."
