He sat up and called to Jackpine, who was putting a fresh log on the big fire in front of the shelter.
When I got hurt we moved up among the men. Brought us into closer touch with the working end, you know." "You and Gregson must have been laid up at about the same time," said the young engineer. "That was a painful wound of Gregson's. I wonder who the deuce it was who shot him? Funny that a man like Gregson should have an enemy!" Thorne sat up with a jerk.
We wasn't brought up to 'em. 'Well, if you go, you don't come back! said the Squire, shaking a threatening hand. 'Thank you, sir. But there's work for all on us nowadays, said the woman placidly. Then the Squire, with Gregson's help, set himself fiercely to the business.

Shall I stick him down?
Medlicott, I can drop you at Barford Corner, and it is but a quarter of an hour's brisk walk home."

But when brave words passed into kind deeds, Gregson's heart mutely acknowledged its master and keeper.
