"Not a bit of it, father. The bear's Hughie's. He killed him himself." "Losh me! And you don't tell me! And how did you manage that, Hughie?"
"I know I did, but but you made me, you big, sneaking thief and then you " Hughie's voice broke in his rage. His face was pale, and his black eyes were glittering with fierce fury, and in his heart he was conscious of a wild longing to fall upon Foxy and tear him to pieces.
Romance flitted off through the twilight with her. Hungry, Kenny embarked upon a reactive interval of common sense and followed Hughie, who seemed inclined to talk of rain, to the kitchen door.

Remembering what she had endured at Hughie's birth, Rolfe feared that her trial would be even worse this time; but it did not prove so. In a few days Alma was well on the way to recovery.

"Well, but 'tis too late now, anyway," says the Prince.
