Mungo, standing behind his master's chair, gave a little crackling laugh and checked it suddenly at the angry flare in his master's face. "You're mighty joco!" said the Baron; "perhaps you'll take my friend and me into your confidence;" and he frowned with more than one meaning at the little-abashed retainer.
I will buy her from you for any price you ask. You can go away with your bears and pluck yourself another such flower where you found this one." Joco stood motionless for a while as if turned into stone. He did not tremble any longer: the crisis was over. He had only been frightened as long as he was uncertain whether or not he would be instantly hanged if he were found out.
"There may be terror, and there may be gloom, but I shall watch my children's children play upon the braes of Shira Glen."

He held out his hand joyfully to the Bosnian peasant, and said encouragingly: "Go speak with her; but make haste. Go instantly." They crept together to the pantry where the girl slept near the chained bears. Joco opened the door without making a sound, and slipped in. It seemed to the Captain that he heard whispering inside. These few moments seemed an eternity to him.
