"Ha! the Englishman Gisborne!" he cried, and threw himself upon him with redoubled fury.
When she went down again she found herself alone in the room, and she was beginning to think that it was intended that she should go to bed without again seeing her aunt; but at last Miss Stanbury came to her, with a sad countenance, but without that look of wrath which Dorothy knew so well.

"You must charge your disappointment to a poor fellow who got himself cut to pieces by a grass-mower," said the doctor. "Who was it?" asked Ruth quickly, with a sympathetic play of facial muscles. "A man by the name of Burgess, out east of town." "And is he in a bad way?" "Rather."
Of course this renewed the dismay and excitement, and both Tibble and his master entreated Stephen to give up the undertaking if he felt the least misgiving as to his own steadiness, arguing that they should not think him any more a craven than they did Kit Smallbones or Edmund Burgess.
