He was, in fact, somewhat ashamed of the part he had taken in the former difficulty, and had secretly resolved to be more good-natured and yielding in future. So he gave the dipper back to Henry. Before he did this, however, Henry said that he would be very careful not to lose Rollo's fish.
There were the maples, there was the Kleiner Berg rolling up, soft and shadowy, among its pines. There were the mountains, towering and sharp terrible shadows against the sky. Here, too, was the Dipper beneath her, swaying idly back and forth upon the water.
Another might pull up for a moment, glance up at the stars or down at the white froth under the rail, draw his hand across his forehead, mutter, "My soul, but I'm dry," take a full dipper from the water-pail, drink it dry, pass dipper and pail along to the next and back to his work.
A dipper of water was brought, and when she had drunk it she raised her head slowly and her eyes sought those of Ingolby. "One cannot pay for such things," she said to him, meeting his look firmly and steeling herself to thank him.
Jonas took the dipper and the lantern, and thus the boys walked along together.

There was one splint that was poorly wrapped, or something.
The Great Bear is one of the constellations known from the oldest times; it is also sometimes called Charles's Wain, the Dipper, or the Plough. It is always easily seen in England, and seems to swing round the Pole Star as if held by an invisible rope tied to the Pointers.
"What a miracle! Please leave me, now. I can wash my own hurt. Go go find Herrick! He needs you worse than I do!" "No he doesn't!" blurted Gabriel with such conviction that she understood. "You mean?" she queried, as he brought the dipper of now tepid water to her side. "He he's dead?" He hesitated to answer. "Dead! Yes, I understand!" she interpreted his silence. "You needn't tell me. I know!"
And you thought you was safe, I cal'late. And then Bos'n turns up right in your own town, right acrost the road from you! By the big dipper! it's enough to make a feller believe that the Almighty does take a hand in straightenin' out such things, when us humans bungle 'em it is so!
