They treat ’em jolly well there—give ’em decent little cottages to live in, an’ just enough work to keep ’em going.  But they always break out now an’ then, an’ one or two’ll clear out to the Bush an’ camp for a while.  They’ll go back when the cold weather comes—or before that, if they aren’t pickin’ up enough food.  An’ they don’t much mind where an’ how they pick it up, I can tell you."
