Quote context

[...]

- Oh, I'll never forget the way you looked when we was goin' over them rapids. Head up, chin out, hair blowing' in the wind. The living' picture of a heroine!

- Fancy me a heroine!

- Oh, Charlie, you've lost your mind.

- Lost my heart, too, Sweetheart.

- Oh, what a time we've had, Rosie. What a time. We'll never lack for stories to tell our grandchildren.

- Charlie, how much further do you suppose it is to the lake?

- Ah, there's no telling', Rosie. All depends on how much winding' around this old river does.

- The river's changed, hasn't it? And that smell. Why, it's like marigolds, stale marigolds.

- Not a very good smell for a flower.

- They're very pretty, though, marigolds.

- Rosie. Look.

- Another bend?

- If only that's all it was.

- Rosie, it's on all sides. Nothing ahead but grass and papyrus as far as you can see.

- But the river doesn't stop up there. It can't!

- Not according to the map it can't, only... how do you get through that stuff?

- They're islands. Thousands of tiny islands. But where's the main channel among them?

- Don't look like there is one. Just a sea of grass and a forest o' reeds.
