"Yes! a black snake wouldn't harm you, even if he did bite." Pem was still reassuring her friend. "Did you hear him whistle?... But but what's that?" It was just half a minute later that she put the question. "He isn't making that noise with his tail still; is he?" She looked at Stud. Under the ruby eye of the lamp his face the face of a Stoutheart had turned suddenly pea-green.
Stoutheart and His Black Cravat Do you know the bird that wears a black cravat, which he changes once a year? It is the English Sparrow, the commonest of all our birds. His hair is gray, but he must have been red-headed once, for just back of his ears there is still a band of red; and his collar, maybe, was white once, but it is very dingy now.
"Aye, and all our time too," said Guttorm Stoutheart, as he put on his armour with the cheerful air of a man who dons his wedding dress. "Come, my merry men all. Lucky it is that my longships are at hand just now ready loaded with stones: "`O! a gallant sight it is to me, The warships darting o'er the sea, A pleasant sound it is to hear The war trump ringing loud and clear."
"Oh-h! only some fellow rattling rattling beans in his pocket. Let's get away quick!" And then Pemrose knew what it was to look upon a Stoutheart "rattled." But, with that, a voice, a cry, not loud, but strong, exploded like a spring gun in the cave, suddenly halting advance. "What's that outside? What's that outside?" it whooped. "Is it an aëroplane? Two aëroplanes? Oh! hurry out and see."
Erling made no reply, but, kissing Alric's forehead, he returned to his men, of whom there were about sixty, and led them out of the cave, leaving six with his little brother to guard the ships. While our hero is thus hastening to the rescue, let us turn aside for a little to follow the course of Guttorm Stoutheart.
To change the subject he said "Was the old king fond of thee, Kettle?" "Aye, as fond of me as of his own son." "Was he like my father?" pursued the boy. "No; there are not many men like thy father, lad; but he was a stout and brave old man, and a great warrior in his day. Now I think of it, he was very like Guttorm Stoutheart." "Then he was a handsome man," said Solve Klofe with emphasis.
