There's a good dry strip along the one side of it, and the way the rain's dhrivin' we'd git a grand shelter." Judy readily agreed, and they descended the little stony footpath which led down to the river. Beneath the arch, where Thady's booted steps reverberated hollowly, they found, as he had said, a broadish strip of dry ground, for the bridge had allowed the stream ample measure in its stride.
