"Well, I am only telling you what the old man said," asserted Mollie defensively and with warmth. "I don't say he may not be mistaken " "Oh, that's all right, Mollie," Betty broke in quickly. "We understand that you are not vouching for the old man's honesty. All we want is his story. Please go on I am awfully interested." "Just think, gypsies on this island!" murmured Amy, shuddering.
She paused to see the effect of so big a word, and then resumed, graciously, "You see, most of our hills comes from that there Hillstoke.

I think if we were without you, we should begin to miss you. "'Just as you would the cuckoos, if they were all converted into barn- door fowls.
Silver's delivery of his employer's orders to Lord Garvington were apparently carried out, for no further intimation was given to the gypsies that they were to vacate Abbot's Wood.

"They heard later that a fair-skinned child had been seen with gypsies on the road to London, but that was not till long afterwards.
"That is the waltz," he said, still speaking in a whisper, "that the gypsies played that night " He stopped, and Miss Morris answered him by bending her head slowly in assent.
