Schillie. "Are you gone mad; who wants dresses, have we not enough to last us for a year at least?" Mother. "Yes, that I know, but I want to make the discovery, and get expert in the business before our own clothes are quite gone. It will be so awkward to have no clothes at all." Schillie. "Very much so." Mother.
But we renewed our conversation, and, though I used my best arguments, and had Madame on my side, and though the battle waxed hot and loud, and was oft renewed between us, I never could get Schillie to allow that it was of the slightest use our thus exerting ourselves.
I assure you I cannot sleep. I am ready to help with Schillie. Let us settle at once what is best to be done." They all went off most unwillingly, while we arranged that getting up through the big cavern by the rope still concealed there, Smart should go to the pirates' village, in as secret a manner as he could, and find out what was best to be done, and where the prisoners were placed.
As everybody got into the cavern, the others came rushing in quicker and quicker; Schillie and I alone kept a stately march, holding the hard horny hands, not a word passing between the delivered and the deliverers; but if gratitude could be expressed by a grasp, it was done by the hand I held in mine.
I will run home for a couple of hatchets, and mind you don't stir from hence until I return, and don't get eaten up, for your life, by anything." Mother. "Suppose you bring the girls with you; we shall never cut it down ourselves without aching all over, and they will be so glad to get out of school." Schillie. "I'll be bound they will.
"No, we must shoot him," said Schillie. "No, no, little Mother, do let us stone him, and hiss him out," said all the little ones, and they ran to collect stones. "Indeed, Schillie, I think the children's idea a very good one.
They were swarming up, just under a ledge, ready to make a bolt out upon us if we looked off one moment. "Get stones, little ones," whispered Serena, "they will help us, perhaps." Now they bolt. We all fire simultaneously. They retreat again, some wounded, but none dead. We took up the second relay of guns, Schillie carrying off the others to reload.
"I have nothing in the world to do, and I have not the least inclination to exert myself, and I won't allow you to do anything either, in spite of your private business." Mother. "Nevertheless, whether you help me or not, I am going to build a little hut." Schillie. "Good lack! if you are not mad to think of such a thing!
"Once they were safe in here we could soon make them well." Serena. "And then, being men, they will help us to fight against the pirates, and kill them all." Mother. "That will be very nice indeed. Schillie, these prisoners seem just sent in the nick of time to do the work I doubted our accomplishing." Schillie.
I then thrust some letters under the door. I hear their voices, but am just frantic at not being able to make them hear, but Oscar has. It is all right; they know him, and speak to him. I hear Schillie say, "Where is June?" How can we be so rash, and make such a noise.
