That's not likely. Why should they? So I shall just make the best of things, and old Lipscombe must grumble as long as he likes." Phew! It was very hot, and he was very weary. The kicking of the donkey and the sound of the blows had ceased to amuse him. He was so sore with the jolting that he told himself he could not get any worse.
It's Elsie's, I know. Philip is down at the gate with the cart but I came ahead. Phew! but it's warm! 'What! cried Bell, joyfully. 'Elsie at the gate! It can't be true! And she darted like an arrow through the trees. 'Come back! come back! screamed Polly. 'Elsie is not at the gate. Don S. D. M. F. H. N. is there with a team loaded down with things. Isn't it from Mrs. Howard, Aunt Truth?
"Here is where the Ham Spink crowd stole our boat," said Snap, indicating the spot. "Phew! and what a time we did have on the lake afterwards," was Whopper's comment. "Say, I can't understand yet why some of us weren't drowned." "Don't make so much noise," said Shep. "We'll never get any game if you keep on talking."

"What's the good?" asked Wild Water. "We've got to sample the rest." "Not in this cabin." Smoke coughed and conquered a qualm. "Chop them open, and we can test by looking at them.

"Phew!" he said; "thank you. That was a bit of a Marathon, wasn't it?" He measured the distance across the lawn with a humorous eye.
Once free, it would be strange indeed if they could not reach the protection of the Japanese troops, who would by this time surely be disembarking, possibly only a short mile away, if they should have elected to land at the spot where the Chih' Yuen's boats had been left.

What a fool I was, after all, not to see if there wasn't another chamber beside the one I found him in! Of course there must be, and I have no doubt she is lying there at this present moment. We shall have to go and find her, and you must restore her as you have done him. Phew! where is it all going to end, I wonder!
