'Very well, sir, said brother Charles. 'Very well. Brother Ned, will you ring the bell? 'Charles, my dear fellow! stop one instant, returned the other.

"That's the Tim Tim Tamytam call!" all the wood creatures, said, as they listened. "Tahoo Tahoo Tahoo-hoo-hoo!" And as Tim Tim and Tom Tom listened, they heard away off the answering Tamytam wood-call: "Toowoo-toowoo-tooawoooooo!" sounding like the plaintive notes of the turtle dove but was easily distinguished by any of the woodfolk.

"That will be as the Captain likes," answered Tim Fid. "Perhaps he'll not think them wholesome at this time of the year, and let them go."

However, they are not as formidable as you would imagine, as you will see, tomorrow." In the morning the elephants were brought out. Charlie took his place in the front of a howdah, with Tim behind him. Three rifles were placed in the seat, and these Tim was to hand to his master, as he discharged them.

Little Tim had been taken in by a neighbour, all the mothers round seeming anxious for the honour after it was known that Will had "made his strike."

Remove her now and place her in a school even the most advanced school and she would undergo the unhappy treatment that James had undergone these several years ago.
