QUOTE : I turn to Jasper. “What do you think? Do we hurry up so we can leave with them?”<br /><br />“The oxen go faster, more consistently, when they see other wagons in front of them. And I know we’ve had our disagreements with those men, but all in all, I want to believe they’re decent specimens of humanity. If something were to happen to one of our wagons, they’d no sooner leave us behind to die than we would them.”<br /><br />I hope he’s right.<br />I turn to Jasper. “What do you think?
