"Oh, yes, please," clamored Marjorie, and immediately afterwards a rope ladder was let down, and one or two of the little men hung over the ledge to steady it.

He heard Grace give utterance to a scarcely audible laugh, but at that moment Hippy Wingate did not feel like laughter, for in Lum Bangs he recognized the "constable" whom he had knocked down and driven from the Overland camp by the cornfield. "Oh! It's you, is it?" muttered Lieutenant Wingate, rising slowly, his eyes fixed on the face of the man before him.
Do ye see nae differ atween chokin' an ill-faured tyke an' chokin' a puir widow's lum?" "'Twas only for fun." "It's ill fun that baith sides canna lauch at, Curly." "Rob Bruce wasna lauchin' whan he brocht the bick to the schuil, nor yet whan he gaed hame again." "That was nae fun, Curly. That was doonricht earnest." "Weel, weel, Alec; say nae mair aboot it."
