Instead of going to sleep, Sanna became more active and acknowledged that she was cold, but that she felt nice and warm inside, and that the warmth was already passing into her hands and feet. The children even spoke a while together.
"Yes, let us go," answered Sanna. The children arose and tried their limbs which only now felt their tiredness. Although they had not slept, the morning had reinvigorated them. The boy slung the calfskin bag around his shoulder and fastened Sanna's fur-jacket about her. Then he led her out of the cave.
"Now for the books, Julia," said she, beaming approval. The two went off together, chattering like friends and equals. "What does Aunt Sanna SEE in her?" marvelled Barbara, watching. "Your aunt is peculiar," Mrs. Toland said, with vague disapproval, compressing her lips. "Well, the way she runs The Alexander is curious, to say the least," Barbara commented vigorously.
"Sanna!" she repeated contemptuously. Then, with a sudden change of her tone to one of would be friendliness "But what'll ye be seekin' for that bit sawmon trooty, man?" she said. As she spoke she approached his basket, and would have taken the fish in her hands, but Malcolm involuntarily drew back. "It's gauin' to the Hoose to my lord's brakfast," he said.
Where they could not walk they broke with their hands through the masses of snow which often gave way before their eyes, revealing the intense blue of a crevasse where all had been pure white before. But they did not mind this and labored on until they again emerged from the ice somewhere. "Sanna," said the boy, "we shall not go into the ice again at all, because we cannot make our way in it.
But the operation was on Sunday, so he should have been here yesterday, at latest," Julia said. "However, he'll rush in to-night or to-morrow; he knows you're all going to be here. Give her to me, Aunt Sanna, she's getting hungry, bless her little old heart! Ah, here's Ellie with something for Mother's girl!"
"One would really like to know just how this delightful piece of work is explained." "Aunt Sanna!" Julia said, in a difficult half whisper. She took Miss Toland's hand and pressed it against her heart. Her lips were shut tight, and against the white pillow there was a little negative movement of her head. "Well, of course you don't want to talk about it," Miss Toland said soothingly.
"''Sanna, I says, 'bein' as yo've had so much trouble wi' yo're first chance, would yo' be afeard to try a second? Could yo' trust a mon again? Such a mon as me, 'Sanna? "'I wouldna be feart to trust thee, Tim, she answers back soft an' gentle after a manner. 'I wouldna be feart to trust thee any time. "I kisses her hand again, gentler still. "'God bless thee, lass, I says.
"Wait, Sanna," said the boy, "let us stand still for a moment and listen, perhaps we might hear a sound from the valley, a dog, or a bell, or the mill, or a shout, something we must hear, and then we shall know which way to go." So they remained standing, but they heard nothing.
"It's been a wonderful talk!" she said, with shining eyes. "And you're a friend in a million, Richie, dear! And now," very practically, "where are you going to sleep, my dear? Aunt Sanna has your room." "This couch out here is made up!" Richard said, with a backward jerk of his head toward the room behind him. "Ah, then you're all right!"
