THE FIRST WINTER 2.29 
At the time I felt a little indignant. It seemed to me 
that these men ought to think themselves lucky to be 
down South at all : there were thousands who would have 
liked to take their place. But now I understand quite a lot 
more than I did then. Science is a big thing if you can 
travel a Winter Journey in her cause and not regret it. I 
am not sure she is not bigger still if you can have dealings 
with scientists and continue to follow in her path.
