But I have reason to think that people seldom exclaimed, "What grievances those poor children are exasperated with!" but that they often said, "What terrible tempers they all have!" There are five of us: Philip and I are the eldest; we are twins.

Reluctantly, even under such circumstances, did the exasperated borderer see his hands drawn from their deadly grasp, for all the evil passions were then in the ascendant. Almost at the same instant a similar fastening secured his ankles, and his body was rolled to the centre of the platform as helplessly, and as cavalierly, as if it were a log of wood.

"I wanted to hear old Plunket stid of all that stuff about nothin'.

"Hyare, young feller, look where you're puttin' your hoofs!" Bill growled, looking about.

One after the other the horses reappeared from behind the clump of trees.
