Grace then entered the cottage and the girls led Nora out to the shady side of the barn where they consoled her as best they could. "I will sit right down here and con-centrate," promised Emma. "You will see that it will fetch him back. If it doesn't never, never again will I con-centrate on Hippy.
If I could not shoot straighter than that I think I should practice until I learned how to shoot." "No you wouldn't. You would just sit down and 'con-centrate," retorted Hippy Wingate. "What do you make of all this, Brown Eyes?" "More than I can very well express."
Now we've got to walk all the way home," wailed Emma. "'Con-centrate, little one," advised Hippy. "Never mind 'bout the hosses. We-uns'll fix ye up. Spurgeon and Lum Bates got er-way. They come this-a-way an' Ah reckon they're hidin' in a cave. Shore they ain't in that place where you was?" demanded Jed. "If ye ain't sartin, better look an' see. We'll be goin' through t'other holes right smart.
As she neared him Miss Briggs felt a sudden weakness in the knees that threatened flight on her part, but, by summoning all her will, she managed to call back her grit. "Ill do it if it kills me!" muttered the Overland Rider. "If I win, I shall have the laugh on Grace Harlowe. If I lose well we won't think about that. Here goes. Steady, and 'con-centrate, Elfreda Briggs!"
After their idleness at Thompson's all hands were thoroughly enjoying being back in the saddle, and even Emma was enjoying herself so keenly that she forgot to be petulant or to "con-centrate" on anything at all.
We played a neat trick on them," chuckled the lieutenant. "Don't crow," advised Emma Dean. "It isn't daylight yet. I will con-centrate. I con-centrated all the time you were away, and you came back, didn't you?"
"I think we all agree with you," answered Anne. "Yes, let's seek the seclusion of the mountain fastness and have Emma sit up and 'con-centrate' all night. If she can move a house and lot with her con-centration stunt, she surely should be able to move that touchy mountain savage further away from us," suggested Hippy to the discomfiture of Emma and the great amusement of her companions.
"I knew it," cried Emma Dean when she learned what had taken place. "I didn't con-centrate for nothing." "You what?" frowned Elfreda. "I have been con-centrating all night long con-centrating on Hippy to call him back to us." "Oh, you darlin'," cried Nora, throwing her arms about Emma. "I should advise you to continue to 'con-centrate," suggested Anne.
He was ashamed of himself despite his former assertion that Nora Wingate always provided this emotion for him. "I think I'll ask Emma to sit up and 'con-centrate' to keep me awake after this," muttered Hippy, and then lost himself in slumber. The camp once more settled down and was not again disturbed, but Grace kept her vigil ceaselessly through the rest of the night.
