Think of wasting all that fruit and sugar! Does mother know?" Mahailey's low brow clouded. "I reckon she does. I don't wase your mudder's sugar. I never did wase nothin'," she muttered. Her speech became queerer than ever when she was angry. Ralph dashed down the cellar stairs, lit a lantern, and searched the fruit closet. Sure enough, there were no pickled peaches.
"And yet it's strange he should be here too! Was he his lane?" "His lee-lane for what I could see," said I. "Did he gang by?" he asked. "Straight by," said I, "and looked neither to the right nor left." "And that's queerer yet," said Alan. "It sticks in my mind, Davie, that we should be stirring. But where to? deil hae't!

Now I did not care. "Stare on," I cried, laughing. "You can't think it queerer than I do. It's hard for me to convince myself that it is true." "I am glad," he said, taking my hand in a warm grasp.
