With some difficulty he got them to explain this mystery. "What! baby gone lost?" he exclaimed; "where away?" When it was told him what had occurred, Maggot's eyes gradually opened, and his lips gradually closed, until the latter produced a low whistle. "I think that I do knaw where the cheeld is," he said; "come along, an' I'll show un to 'ee."

"Thinkin' is not enough, boy," returned the trapper, with a grave shake of the head. "You should always make sure. Suppose you was wrong in your thinkin', now, who d'ee think would go down there to pick up the bits of 'ee an' carry them home to your mother." "But I haven't got a mother," said Tolly. "Well, your father, then." "But I haven't got a father."

There was a long climb out of Whitcombe and then a long descent into Boveyhayne, after which the road ran on the level to the end of Hayne lane which led to the Manor. Before they reached the end of the lane, Old Widger turned to them and, pointing with his whip in front of him, said, laughingly, "Here be Miss Mary waitin' for 'ee, Mas'er Ninyan!" Ninian stood up in the carriage and looked ahead.

"We'll meet in heaven, I daresay," the woman answered.

"It's not exactly the tipple I'm used to," said Fox, accepting the cup with a grin, and wisely resolving to make the best of circumstances, all the more readily that he observed other visitors had been, or still were, enjoying the same beverage. "Howsever, it's not to be expected that sick men shall have their physic exactly to their likin', so I thank 'ee all the same, Dr Martin!"

"Ay, hasn't He sent us fine weather at the right time? just to let us have a comfortable meetin'!" "That's so, Dick, the Master does all things well." "What cheer! Johnson, I'm glad to see you here. The boy has got some cocoa for'ard have some?" "Thank 'ee, I will." Such were some of the expressions heartily uttered, which flew about as friend met friend on the mission deck.

Then she turned over in bed towards the door, panic in her breast, and her whole body swept by the hot waves of fear. She had locked the door, as she always did now, but the tones, soft as they were, had power to frighten her even through the stout wood. She lay silent, hoping he would think she was asleep, not making a sound. "I do want to see 'ee that bad," came the voice.
