I seen Bill on ahead pegging out for the horizon, and I took after him and reached for the timber for all I was worth, for I'd seen Stiffner's missus coming with a shovel to bury the remains, I suppose; and those two were a good match Stiffner and his missus, I mean. Bill looked round once, and melted into the bush pretty soon after that.

"I say, Missus, that's a bigger pile than you've had for some time. Guess my new man ain't so slow after all." "Huh!" puffed his wife, waddling about with great agility, "it was Tim that done it."
'You'll be the first to take to your heels, I'll be bound! Ain't you ashamed of yourself, to be ranting and frightening a poor girl that fashion? cried the friendly dragon Martha, descending on them. 'Do you apply that language to me, ma'am? 'That I do! and richly you deserve it, too, sir! See if your missus doesn't hear of your tricks, if I find you at this again.
I'se packed a luncheon for ye," said Phillis, kneeling upon the floor, clasping the knees of her departing mistress, crying and sobbing.
