He had insisted upon having this post, one that none of the brigands envied him so that he might gloat over his victims at the last hour. The two boys were aroused with some difficulty, for strange though it may appear, they were sleeping soundly when the fatal moment approached. "Come," said the girl, in a hollow voice. "Lirico is already on the ground." "We mustn't be behindhand then."
Yet they had not scrupled to knock me about, with little ceremony, in the days of my boyhood; nor do I think they would have been behindhand in finding fault with me for my folly, had I returned from my second voyage as poor and needy as from the first.

I'm behindhand already." So Missy led Gypsy into the yard and took the pail her mother brought out to her.
