Only the worst of it is I have got to go, whether I like it or not, because my father will not leave me here without him. Such nonsense! As if I were not old enough to take care of myself!" "Which you are not. Remember the tidehole," Katherine remarked, in a tone of mock solemnity. "Once bitten, twice shy! No more tideholes for me," Mary answered, with a shake of her head.
"Mary, Mary, find her, go along!" cried Katherine; then with a short bark Hero turned to the track leading seawards, and set off at a trot, looking neither to the right hand nor to the left. Katherine groaned. The tideholes nearest the sea naturally filled first, and it could not be very far from high tide already.
I can't walk, and I am on a ledge deep down a gulch near the sea, on the rocks beyond the fish-flakes. "Deep down in a gulch near the sea," quoth Katherine to herself with a puzzled frown; then she jumped up with a cry. "I know where it is; that gulch is one of the tideholes, and she will be drowned if I don't make haste!" Out of the boat she bounded, and rushed up the slope to the store.
At the bottom of the hill there were two tracks, both of which led round among the gulches or tideholes, only by different ways and to different points, and it was here that Katherine knew she would be at fault. Hero still trotted contentedly just behind, as if perfectly satisfied that she should take the lead.
Mary Selincourt was out and about again, limping a little at first, and leaning on a stick, but soon gaining strength enough to go about as usual; only now, made wise by experience, she took good care to avoid places of danger like the tideholes.
