traveling, and went as far as we dared. Indeed we were almost past<br />
being able to come back; for had we gone a little further, we would not<br />

CHRISTIAN: "But what have you<br />

MEN: "Why, we were almost in<br />
the Valley of the Shadow of<br />
Death; but fortunately, we<br />

a continual howling and yelling<br />
