"Well?" she asked in Hindustani, and arched her eyebrows questioning. And Colonel Kirby stammered because she had made him think of his mother, and the tender prelude to a curtain lecture.

"Th-then I h-hold yer here till some one comes." "Eet vas not lofe; eet vas just to get avay." "I-I-I take ch-chances on that, l-little girl." Their lips met and clung; all unconsciously the free arm of the girl stole upward, clasping the man's broad shoulder.
"What is it, a lion?" "Lion! No, you ninny, it's a bear. B-e-a-r," spelled Ned, with strong emphasis. "Do you understand that?" "Y-y-e-s. I-I-I thought it was a lion. I did, honest," he muttered. "And it tickled my neck with its paw, too. Wow!" Stacy instinctively moved further away from the tent.

Strangely enough, he had never before inquired much about his parents, but had somehow imbibed the knowledge that both were dead.
As the Colonel slowly lowered his glasses Ned cried through chattering teeth: "D-d-d-on't y-you think I-I-I am d-d-doing p-pretty well, C-colonel, f-f-f-for my f-f-ffirst battle?" The Colonel nodded encouragingly: "Very well, my boy. It's a nasty situation. You'll make a good soldier." And then the order to charge!
