We still kept, however, a vigilant watch on the cliff side, lest the cunning savages, fancying that we should be off our guard, might again attempt to surprise us. As may be supposed none of us turned in. Some of the men were employed in examining the wounds the cattle had received.
I certainly did not overestimate the amount of labor involved in my cage-building. I was a good three weeks over it. But I was kept up to the collar by my conviction that without the cage I had no chance of succeeding in my project; and so I got it finished at last.
But still she kept her eyes on Cynthia's face. "I'll fetch him." "No," said Cynthia, "I'll go to him there." She took the path, leaving Millicent with her mouth open, too amazed to speak again, and yet not knowing why. In the tannery shed!
