But, oh, my, don't I wish I could, though!" There was so much longing in the voice that Phronsie brought her gaze down from the policemen in their heavenly work to the eyes staring at her. And she clasped her hands together tightly, and hurried up to lay her face against the big iron gate and close to that of the girl. "He won't hurt you, the big policeman won't," she whispered softly.

Once and again were they overwhelmed; but as often did they rise above the foam to continue the battle.
