What it presently came to in truth was that poor Marcher waded through his beaten grass, where no life stirred, where no breath sounded, where no evil eye seemed to gleam from a possible lair, very much as if vaguely looking for the Beast, and still more as if acutely missing it.
For a moment he stood there listening acutely, a knotted stick in hand, his flannel shirt, open at the throat, showing a brown and corded neck. The heavy knapsack on his shoulders seemed no burden to that rugged strength, as he stood, poised and eager, every sense centered in keen attention. "Trouble ahead, there, by the Eternal!" he suddenly exclaimed.

From that moment we were acutely hungry. This new incident rendered the condition poignant. "Maybe Mrs. Boyle an' th' wains are as hungry as we are," Anna remarked. "Wi' a bogful o' turf at th' doore?" "Th' can't eat turf, Jamie!"
