George and I, along with our traveling companions, reached the town of
Owl Creek today, where the mine is. It did not take long for our friends to find new homes, but I found that I would miss this brave bunch of travelers. Someone, as the cat continued to call herself, said she might think about coming to visit me at Riversleigh. The dog said that he would miss me, too, but that a home and hearth were very important to him and he wasn’t sure he’d want to leave his new one. He left wagging and snuffling at his new master’s hand. The rooster didn’t make it quite as far as town. There was a small farm right outside of town that needed a rooster so he stayed there.
George was happy to get to a nice warm stable and a bucket of oats. I had enjoyed his companionship and learned many lessons under his tutelage. I promised to come and talk with him again soon.
I met the Keeper of the Mine. She told me that I needed to place my appeasement in the wooden box before I could go any farther. This I have done. Now I will wait and see what happens next.
