It be just right as it is. For 't is for Neddie's and Willie's home-coming it be flying." We had just reached hospital from a long trip "on dogs." My driver was slipping the harnesses off the animals and giving them the customary friendly cuff and words of praise.
Then she tossed a couple of sweaters at Jane's head. "Put those under your ears dear," she ordered, "my pillows aren't unpacked yet and you may find Neddie's last year tacks in that burlap. There now, you look almost human. But the wistful whimper lingers. Jane, what has happened? You are simply smothered in the soft pedal. Tell your Judy all about it," she cooed.
Before we realized what was happening, we had been forced back away from Neddie and had retreated to the knightheads. We saw a beast of a yellow ruffian stab Neddie with a kris, then one of our own men saw a chance to dart back under the very feet of our enemies and lay hold of Neddie's collar and drag him groaning up to us.
Cap'n done dat dat yeh v'yage. Hgh!" At dusk Neddie's moaning woke the sleepers, and we held a council in which we debated plans for the future. Daring neither to venture abroad nor to eat the native fruits and leaves, exhausted by exposure, perishing of hunger and thirst, we faced a future that was dark indeed. "As for me," said Davie calmly, "I can see only one way to end our misery."
He glanced at the cook's cleaver as he spoke. "No, no!" Roger cried sharply. "Let us have no such talk as that, Davie." He hesitated, looking first at us, his eyes rested longest on Neddie's hollow face, then at the marsh; then he leaned forward and looked from one to another. "Men," he said, "I see no better way out of our difficulties than to surrender to the natives." "Oh, no, no, sah! No, sah!
We could find so little water that we all suffered from thirst, and with Neddie's sickness in mind none of us dared eat more leaves or berries. The afternoon slowly wore away; the tide came in across the flats; the shadows lengthened hour by hour. But no breath of wind cooled our hot faces.
