In their words

Quoted character for character from the printed page, with the page it is on.

Okay, we're at Sulphur Springs and you were telling me the hotel was down there to the right, and right in front of that brush that we can see.

Charlie Olson and Mrs. Olson, #7 Charlie Olson , p. 47

Why don't we talk about Sulphur Springs right here and then take a little drive up there to where Junk Matthews' house was and you can just point out generally where the sawmill was, does that sound all right?

Charlie Olson and Mrs. Olson, #7 Charlie Olson , p. 48
