Cecily seemed to consider for a moment, then she answered slowly: "Well, he very nearly beat me and I rather wish he had," she said. The net result of the day had distinctly not been to further certain schemes. All that had been achieved and both of them had contributed to it was an admirable example of the Tristram way.
"Help! help!" the words echoed sharp and clear again through the frosty morning air, and this time the man walking hurriedly along the road heard it distinctly, paused, and turned a very startled face toward the river.
From a look of humorous indignation, her face suddenly assumed an expression of absolute terror. She shrank away. "There's something soft in the bed!" she shrieked. "I felt it with my hand!"
