The boys now brought the netting straight across the car like a big white screen, for each held his hands up high, besides standing on the arm of the car seats. "Now drive him this way," called Bert to his father and the men who were helping him. "Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!" yelled everybody, throwing hats, books, and newspapers at the poor lost duck.

Stevenson took a more than neighbourly interest, for she spent time and money in helping to make the place comfortable and attractive. Among other things she built a curbing around the well, using for the purpose boulders from the inexhaustible supply in the bed of the stream, and, to have all complete, even sent to Boston for a real "old oaken bucket."

My curiosity was too strongly aroused to permit this; I persisted in helping his memory. "We were looking into the engine-room," I said; "and you asked me what I heard there.
