"This is little Maly, ma'am," he said, offering her the child. "Set her down, and let me see her," she answered. Clare obeyed. Mary put her finger in her mouth, and began to cry. She did not like the look of the black aunt, and was not used to a harsh voice. "Tut! tut!" said the black aunt. "Crying already! That will never do! Show me her things." Sarah felt stunned.

"Well, what could be a safer place than right where we're wanted?" demanded Dolph. "The officers are scouring other counties for us, and they have handbills up offering rewards for us. Right here, overlooking your claim, they'd never think of looking for men who have a price set on their capture." "Well, you needn't be afraid of me," offered Reade, with mock generosity.
