` We had better start early , Seth , ' said he ; ` say at daybreak . ' '' ` What for , Rube ? ' I said ; ` the Cap said we were to go in after dusk . It 's only thirty miles ; we sha n't want to start till three o'clock . ' `` Rube laughed . ` I do n't want to get there before dusk , but I want to start at daybreak , and I 'll tell you why . You remember Pepita ? ' ''
