I had to shave his armpits and even then the itching did not stop. How can one get lousy in a beautiful place like this? But no matter.

This unease spurred

What if something happens?” “Daddy said we can go, Nat,” I said with false confidence. “Don’t worry about it.” I would have my way, no matter what it took. Besides, what could happen? There was a path, for goodness’ sakes. It wasn’t like we would be traipsing through untamed forest. I glanced at the sun. We had time enough, she
