"I kin feel some fresh air from somewhere." "I feel it too," returned Dave. "Doesn't it come from overhead?" "Mebbe, lad; although I thought it was ahead." "Here is that stream of water!" cried Roger, as they made another turn.
Anyway, Lafe will. He loves everybody, even dogs. He'll love you; sure he will!" The boy shook his head doubtfully. "Nobody but mothers are nice to blind kids. Well well 'cept you. I'd like to go to Lafe's house, though, but mebbe the woman wouldn't want me."

Mebbe four, five weeks after that I have killed Filon, one goes riding by that place and sees Helène make mourn by the waterside over something that stick in the sand. It is Filon. Yes. That quick-sand have spit him out again. So you say; but me, I think it is the devil.
