And it relieved me greatly to find her so animated and full of confidence that all would be well with us, and the parting but a brief one. "I know in my heart it will be brief," she said smilingly, and permitting both her hands to remain in mine. "Soon, very soon, we shall be again together, Euan, and this interrupted fairy tale, so prettily begun by you and me, shall be once more resumed."
"Perfect in health, my friend. And if you truly are glad to see me, then I am content. But I am also very wet, Euan, spite of my capuchin. Lana and I have a common box. It belongs to her. May our boatmen carry it ashore?"
"Oh, Euan, yours is a most broad and catholic heart; and any pretty penitent can find her refuge there; and any petticoat can flutter it!" "Yours can. Even your fluttering rags did that!" She flushed: "Oh, if I were truly weak and silly enough to listen to you " "You never do. You give me no hope." "I do give you hope! I am ever ladling it out to you as they ladle soupaan to the militia!
"Lois," I said gravely, "did you fear I hoped for some reward? Child little comrade only the happiness of aiding you is what I ask for. Share with me then, I beg you. I am not poor." "No I can not, Euan," she answered in a stifled voice. "Is there any shame to you in sharing with me?" "Wait," she whispered. "Wait till you hear. And thank you for your kindness."

'Any one who knows Neil in the least would know that whether he sent away that order or not, he would never have stolen it, and that there must have been a mistake. 'Of course there must have been, said Euan, 'and I'm glad to hear you say so, Mr. Allan.
"For the last few minutes there has been a sound in the woods very far away, Euan yet, if one could hear so far I would swear that I heard the conch-horn of your rifles!" "Did I not tell you she knew it well?" said Lana with her pallid smile, as we opened the massive guard-door, squeezed through the covered way, and came out along the rifle-platform among our noisy soldiers.
"Which is no mutiny, Euan, and no insubordination either, seeing that you and I are one or are like to be when the brigade chaplain passes if the Tories meddle not with his honest scalp! Come! Honest Euan, shall we make our rounds together? Or must I go alone?"
"A copy for His Excellency! Hurrah!" cried Captain Simpson. "Who volunteers?" "I will make it," said I, with jealous authority. "And I will aid you with quill, sand, and paper," said Lana. "Come with me, Euan."
