Then she resented it, and when they met again, she was equally abrupt to him as he had been to her, and had, moreover, given a great deal of attention to what Dickson, who was present, said and did, while ignoring, as far as she could, the very existence of Tony.
"When I want you I'll send for you, so you'll be on hand any time; and if you play up any more tricks till my game's through, look out." He pushed him away as he spoke, and Dickson hastily caught his horse and rode off without a word. As he disappeared, Tap said in a cringing voice "He's like his mother only good for a sneak thief."
"Is there any? Is there any?" and Thure, in his anxiety to see, almost bunted his head into the head of Dickson. "Is there any! Whoop!" and Dickson let out a yell that nearly startled both boys off their feet. "Is there any! Just look there! And there!
