He hastened back to the dwelling of Dood, who met him in the yard, and demanded, somewhat roughly, where he had been. "I've been to see if your bullet made sure work of Mr. Lawson's filly," was the instant retort. Watt paled for a moment, but collecting himself, he fiercely shouted, "Do you dare to say I killed her?" "How do you know she is dead?" replied the man.
"I can honestly say," went on Gavin, as solemnly as if he were making a statement in a court of justice, "that I like you." Then the Egyptian let drop her towel, and replied with equal solemnity: "Oh, tank oo! Nanny, the minister says me is a dood 'ittle dirl." "He didna gang that length," said Nanny, sharply, to cover Gavin's confusion. "Set the things, Babbie, and I'll make the tea."
Dood bit his lip, hesitated a moment, and then turning, walked into the house. A couple of days passed by, and the morning of the third one had broken, as the hired man met friend Lawson, riding in search of his filly.

“And I love Hatty, and you shan’t be cross to her,” said Meg, putting her arms round Hatty. “It was Hatty who was cross,” said the little girl, sadly. “Poor Hatty is only trying to be good. She does wrong very, very often.” “Hatty dood! Hatty dood!” said Harry, nestling at her side. Marcus walked away, without saying another word. He took his fishing-rod, and Hatty saw him no more that day.
And then he tried to laugh, but only coughed again. "Don't laugh at dem poor fellows," said Max, looking grave; "do' you see dar bodies, dar souls are farder off dan de Cape of Dood Hope."
"Me done sing dood," she said, and her eyes shone and flashed, and her bosom rose and fell, as if she were standing before an audience, sure of success and applause. Jake did clap his hands when she finished, and said to the Colonel, "She done goes on dat way very often. She's wonderful wid her voice an' eyes. 'Specs she'll make a singer.

"Oo knows!" he answered, and went away sucking his thumb. A moment after, I heard him calling out of his nest, a great way up a walnut tree of enormous size, "Up adain, king! Dood night! I seepy!" And I heard no more of him till he woke me in the morning. I lay down by a tree, and one and one or in little groups, the children left me and climbed to their nests.
