The islets were all too naked and too small, however; and she was compelled to return to the Swash, without any hopes derived from this quarter. Spike had just directed the people to get their suppers as the Mexican came on board. Together they descended to the schooner's deck, where they had a long but secret conference.
"Me go, too! Me like engines," murmured Trouble, who had also spilled a little milk on himself. "He thinks we're talking about engines the kind that pull this train!" laughed Ted. "I don't believe he ever saw a real Indian." "No, Indians do not walk the streets of Cresco," said Mrs. Martin. "But finish your suppers, children.

Anna was charmed and delighted with the pure country life, and as business increased on the Herr Doctor's hands, it was so great a happiness to her to minister to his comfort.
