"My charge is four guilders for the day," said James. "Very well," said Mr. George. "And at what time in the morning will it be best to set out?" "There is a boat at nine o'clock," said James. "Then we will leave here at half past eight. We will have breakfast, Rollo, at eight. Or perhaps we can have breakfast at Broek. Is there a hotel there, James?" "Yes, sir," said James.
That's no reason, for he is always getting it entangled himself. But that's his excuse, and so I am going to have a whip of my own." "Well," said Rollo, "I rather think I will go with you; but you must wait here for me a minute or two. I must go up to my room first; but I will come directly down again." Rollo wished to go up to his room to ask his uncle's permission to go with Copley.
The house shewed large and stately; the flight of steps imposing. Hot-house plants stood around in boxes; the turf was well shaven; the gravelled road in order; the overhanging trees magnificent. Moscheloo was a fine place. As the riders approached the door, Mme. Lasalle came forward, pouring forth welcomes, and invitations to Rollo.
This ice was used for refrigerator purposes and for McClintock's evening peg. Ruth with Rollo as her guide explored the island. In the heart of the jungle the dog had his private muck baths. Into one of these he waded and rolled and rolled, despite her commands.
Rollo held the end of the thread up opposite to the door, in such a way, that the tuft was exactly before the key-hole. The tuft was at once blown out into the room. "O, see, Nathan, how it blows out. The air is coming in through the key-hole."

Just at this moment the attention of both Rollo and Carlos was suddenly arrested by a most unearthly sound at a little distance from them, which seemed to be intermediate between a scream and a roar. It was so loud, too, as to be truly terrific.
It disturbs my own train of thought, this trying to hear what other people say. 'Nobody would suspect Miss Fisher, said Rollo, dryly, 'of being unwilling that anybody should hear what she has to say. 'Do you know, said Kitty, turning upon him with an emphasizing pressure of the arm she held, 'what my thoughts really are at work upon? 'Yes. 'Let's hear. Tell me, and I'll tell you.
James came with him, and they walked back very pleasantly together. When they got back across the bridge again, they turned off towards the mill, talking about the wheelbarrow. Rollo told James about his learning to work, and about his having seen the wheelbarrow at the corporal’s, and how he trundled it about, and liked it very much.
She summarily sent off Mungo and Tartar by the conveyance that brought her, and would have sent Rollo away, but that Herbert protested against it, and no power short of an order from him would have taken the dog from his bedside. And Mr. Bindon returned from Wil'sbro' in unspeakable surprise. "The heroes of the occasion," he said, "were Bowater and Mrs. Duncombe!
"Valiant sirs," he said to Rollo and his chiefs, "who are you that come hither, and why have you come?"

And you, by what name are you called?"
