The guide placed himself at once in front of Fend l'Air, whose shivers as quickly disappeared. "You see, mesdames the guide gives him courage and he now knows no fear," cried out with pride our whip on the outer bench. "And what news, Victor is there any?" It was of the Mont he was asking. And the guide replied, taking an extra plunge into deep water: "Oh, not much.
I had watched him and cared for him as if I was his mother, 'stead of his bein' my father, and a hurt to him was like a hurt to me: and when that man talked o' leavin' him to fend for himself in his old age, the thought seemed as if it would break my heart: and now I knew he had an enemy, and a pitiless enemy: and I tried to stop him goin' out alone with Pierre, and I wanted him to get rid o' him out of the fishing business altogether, and father he took it up so, when I told him Pierre said he was gettin' too old to manage for hisself, that he up and dismissed him that very day: and then I heard Lisette Nevin and Paul talkin' and savin' how ill Pierre had taken it, and I seemed to see his face with the evil look on it; and something seemed to say in my heart that Daddy was in danger, and I couldn't stop a moment; I went flying to the cove where I knew he'd gone by hisself, and there from the top of the path I saw the other one creeping, closer and closer, like a cruel beast of prey as he was: and I went down and I met him, and he'd a knife in his belt, and of one thing I was certain, he might have been only goin' to frighten Daddy, but he meant him no good."

So the troop went out and held the cavern mouth standing by its walls; and every one of the Infidels who sought to enter in, they slew. Thus did they fend off the foe from the gape of the cave and they patiently supported all such assaults, till day was done and night came on dusky and dun; And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased saying her permitted say.
It was no easy thing to fend off the cruel birds when in sight of their prey, but, running and capturing the poor lamb, Ralph snatched it up in his arms at the peril of his own eyes, and swung a staff about his head to beat off the birds as they darted and plunged and shrieked about him. It was natural that a boy like this should develop into the finest shepherd on the hills.
"Where am I to go, then?" I inquired. "And I wish that I could tell ye!" says he, "but all the places that I could send ye to, would be just the places they would seek. No, ye must fend for yourself, and God be your guiding!
It's certain that Manitou intends to let us fend for ourselves because the night is lightening, which is a hard thing for fugitives."
He faced round just in time to fend off partially a blow from the angry bully. "Take that for your impudence!" shouted Jim Smith. "I'll teach you to meddle with, me." But Jim reckoned without his host.
