"They'd better go to bed," said Marilla, who thought it was the easiest way to dispose of them. "Dora will sleep with me and you can put Davy in the west gable. You're not afraid to sleep alone, are you, Davy?" "No; but I ain't going to bed for ever so long yet," said Davy comfortably. "Oh, yes, you are."

For a moment the two boys glared at each, other; then Baxter aimed a blow at Dick's face. The elder Rover ducked and hit out in return, landing upon Baxter's neck. Dora gave a scream. "Oh, Dick! Don't fight with him!"
Then, when they had walked about for half an hour, which looked like two hours to Miss Dora, who was rapidly taking one of her bad colds at the half-open window, they were joined by another figure which she did not think she had ever seen before.
