I then went downstairs and put on a dark coat because of not wishing to be seen, and a cap of father's, wishing to apear as masculine as possable, and went outside, carrying my weapon, and being careful not to shoot it, as the spring seemed very loose. I felt lonely, but not terrafied, as I would have been had I not known the Theif personaly and felt that he was not of a violent tipe.
Carter Brooks came to dinner that night because his people were out of town, and I think he noticed that I looked mature and dignafied, for he stared at me a lot. And father said: "Bab, you're not eating. Is it possable that that boarding school hollow of yours is filling up?" One's Familey is apt to translate one's finest Emotions into terms of food and drink.
"Wull Wallace!" he gasped in a hoarse whisper, as he sprang forward and laid violent hands on his old friend. "Losh, man! are my een leein'? is't possable? Can this be you?" "Yes, thank God, it is indeed " He stopped short, for Andrew, albeit unaccustomed, like most of his countrymen, to give way to ebullitions of strong feeling, threw his long arms around his friend and fairly hugged him.
Haveing thus refreshed myself, I looked about, and saw the yard Policeman, a new one who did not know me, as I am away at school most of the time, and the Familey is not expected to visit the mill, because of dirt and possable accidents.

As he had forgotten Jane, she was obliged to stay. It was by now raining, and the Corps wanted to go home. But I made a speach, saying that if we weakened now what would we do in times of Real Danger? "What are a few drops of rain?"
We also pleged ourselves to try and make our Families rise early, and to insist on Members of our Families hoisting and taking down the Stars and Stripes, instead of having it done by those who may not respect it, or only aparently so. Passed unanamously. The class in Telegraphy reported that it could do little or nothing, as it is easy to rap out a dot but not possable to rap a dash.
I was naturaly indignant at Sis's words, which were not filial, to my mind, but I replied as sweetly as possable: "I shall not be in your way, Leila. I ask nothing but Food and Shelter, and that perhaps not for long." "Why? Do you intend to die?" she demanded. "I intend to work," I said. "It's more interesting than dieing, and will be a novelty in this House."
