The time was at hand when we could enjoy the hills and valleys in misty moonlight, all except the driver who had to keep her eyes glued to the road.
Mountain driving at night is no trifling business. We could see only a few feet ahead and to the person the back seat, it looked as if there were no road at all and the car would plunge over a precipice at each turn.

The bus station manager politely offered us his office which we accepted with alacrity. Our supper was prepared and eaten with the whole village, or near it, looking through the window. Boards were placed on saw horses and we slept fon them not uncomfortably, though tone of our party spent most of the night keeping vigil over our food 20 that the rat in the room would not disturb it.
