"Oh! I say, whatever shall we do?" said Philip in dismay. "Pick up the pieces," said Harry, laconically.
The puny boy in the hand-carriage was filled with admiration for the manly bearing of the poor lad. The rain at length gave promise of ceasing, and Mr. Fletcher, pulling out his great silver watch, never known to be wrong, said, "Twenty-three minutes lost by this shower. Phineas, my son, how am I to get thee home? Unless thee wilt go with me to the tanyard "
We heard a bolt slid, and the door opened upon a pale emaciated face and two eyes which clearly found the very moderate daylight too much for them.

Though Guy and I were good horsemen it was pretty hard work for us, and our whips were but of little use as we could not make them crack like the rest of the party.
