Then the Swedes put a great box full of gunpowder in the end of the passage, and set light to it, and then bang! they blow everything all up into the air together. 'Oh, do come away directly, said Dollie in a fright, 'or else we shall all be blown up. 'Have you forgotten what your father told us? asked the boy. 'Oh, no indeed! said Dollie; 'but whatever shall we do?
'Something might happen to you like what happened to poor Hofmann there. And then mother and I couldn't live any longer indeed we couldn't; we should be quite sure to die. But Roller gently loosened the little maiden's hold, saying kindly as he did so; 'Dollie must be quiet and good, and God will take care of father.
Tis the sweetest little book of lyrics since Mrs. Dollie Radford's Light Load. Whitman, you will remember, always used to take his songs out into the presence of the fields and skies to try them. A severe test, but a little book may bear it as well as a great one.
The word brought by the servant, as may well be believed, filled the aunt with the wildest grief. Beyond all doubt, Dollie had formed a sudden resolve to hunt up her brother Harvey, who had gone away and left her at home. She had strayed so far into the mountains that she was lost.
The thought of little Dollie, frightened, but unhurt, of Rob who had so bravely saved her, of Lena's pride in Rob, flitted through her mind. It would be a pleasant bit of news to tell Rose. Then she began to think of Great-Aunt Rose, and to wonder how she looked. "Rose has told me in her letter that she's a handsome old lady, but that isn't like seeing her. How ever SHALL I know her?
"I thought that Tom and Jack would make trouble, but I didn't care, for I could manage them. To my surprise, however, they seemed to feel just as I did. So they fell to work with a will, and the job couldn't have been done more thoroughly. Now, if you will allow me to kiss Dollie, who has come back, I will bid you both good day."
The path over which he believed Dollie had either strayed or been led or carried, entered the woods about a hundred yards from the village and gradually sloped and wound upward for a mile, when it passed the door of Hugh O'Hara's cabin and lost itself in the solitude beyond.
The first was that Dollie had set out to find him and had wandered up the mountain path to some point above the bridge and then had strayed from it and become lost. Worn out, she had laid down and was at that moment asleep. The corollary of this theory was that she had perished with cold, or would thus perish before daylight.
Bright-eyed Dollie, whom he had left a few hours before, rosy, happy, overflowing with bounding spirits, was gone, and the sobbing Aunt Maria declared she would never be seen again. Stepping into the room, Harvey laid his hand on his aunt's shoulder and in a trembling voice said: "Why, aunt, what does this mean? Are you in earnest? What has become of Dollie? Tell me, I beseech you."
He had not gone far when he stopped and shouted the name of Dollie. The sound reached a long way, and he repeated the call several times, but only the dismal wind among the limbs gave answer. Striding forward, he stood a few minutes later on the margin of the creek that was spanned by the fallen tree.
