Then, seeing that she was keeping her right hand out of sight, he reached down and drew it forward into the light. "Miss Minturn!" he exclaimed, as he saw the reddened flesh and three great blisters, "you did it beating out the fire to save Dorothy. Come with me and I will dress it immediately." "No," she said, setting her teeth resolutely; "go to her; I shall do very well.
"Well, I'm going to talk to father, and I think likely I'll want to go along with him." "All right." So Tip slammed to the door and ran away and Mr. Minturn never knew what a downfall that decision had been to the boy's dear hopes and plans. It was all settled in the course of a day or two. Mr. Minturn from Albany was very kind.

John Minturn, big-hearted, whole-souled, and always ready to lend a helping hand to a needy brother or sister, was deeply touched by Katherine's generosity. "Well, 'my girlie, I guess you can do about as you have a mind to with grandma's legacy," he said, when she unfolded her plan to him.

We were going to wait until she reached the zenith of her flight, when, at a signal from me, the electrics would be turned off, which would leave us a very dim light through the transoms opening into the hall; then eight of us were to slip into our robes, form a circle around Miss Minturn, and chant a dirge.
Judging from the sound of feet upon the leaves, a half dozen persons were proceeding without any caution at all, talking as freely as if together at their own homes. The feelings of Rosa Minturn, when she recognized the voice of the Tory colonel, Butler, may be imagined. He was accompanied by another white man, probably one of his officers, and several Indians, and he was talking more freely.
