He stood before her a moment silently; then stretched out his hand: "Well, the best of luck, my dear!" A band of youths strolled by. One of them flashed a lantern-light on the doorway. "Aha! Sky-larking with the engineers! Ha! Ha! Ha!" They began chattering among themselves and sang in chorus a ribald doggerel: "Once upon a time a wench Appeared before a judge's bench.."
I did not ask the question aloud, I thought it only, as I watched the youths, and turned away while they still stood gazing. One, I observed, climbed a post and waved his black hat before the white-washed side of the shed over the dock, whence I supposed he would tumble into the water.
