I was dimly conscious of a rush of blue and brass; and then I saw the whole street saw a child, a toddling baby, in the middle of the railroad track, right in front of the coming car. It reached out its tiny hand toward the madly clanging bell and crowed.
"Robin-son," Lady Crusoe had whispered, when I had first bent over her and had asked the baby's name. "Because of the robins?" I had asked. She shook her head. "I couldn't call him Crusoe, could I?"

As he passed Ralph Avenue where the Corner House girls stood, he had lost his hat; his hair, which had grown long again, was blowing back in the wind, and his white face was a mask of determination. "Oh! he'll be killed!" whispered Ruth. "He's going to stop them!" crowed Agnes, with assurance. And so Neale did.
