Bates oh, don't die!" she said, standing piteously near, but afraid to touch him. "Don't leave mamma and me alone in this dreadful place!" Poor Bates, of course, said nothing, but Frere frowned heavily, and Mrs. Vickers said reprovingly, "Sylvia!" just as if they had been in the old house on distant Sarah Island.
Komatsu, standing at the side of the motor, grinned with amusement. "They are foolish children, aren't they, Komatsu?" observed Miss Campbell, climbing into her accustomed seat.
