The boy was absent.
"What is it?" cried the other, running forward; while Richard's hands clutched at the air. "What is it? cut?" "Cut!" sobbed out the other. "A doctor! quick! Dick Frayne, what have you done? He's dead!"
I know that my mistake has caused you some distress. Forgive your old guardian in restoring him to his old place in your affections. Allan, take my dear." We all three went home together next day.
