I looked at it, and read, 'To be given to Mrs. Avory' on it, so I said, 'Yes, Then he said, 'I've got a caravan for your lot, cockie, and backed it into the yard." "How splendid!" said Robert. "Then it was you who did it, Kinky?" "Did what, Master Robert?" "Got us the Slowcoach; because the address wasn't Mrs.
When Kink and the man reached the Slowcoach, Hester saw that they were carrying a girl of about her own age, who was lying in their arms quite still, with her eyes closed. They placed her gently on the cushions, and Kink dashed a little water on her face. After a moment or so she opened her eyes and asked where she was. "You're all right," said Hester.
