What was there to greit about! 'Maybe she thocht o' her sister's bairn in a tribble 'at silence wadna hide! answered Kirsty. 'Ye haena a notion, lassie, what ye're duin wi' yersel! But my mither 'll lat ye ken, sae that ye gangna blinlins intil the tod's hole. 'Ye dinna ken Frank, or ye wudna speyk o' 'im that gait! 'I ken him ower weel to trust you til him.
There was something decidedly funny about it, as it turned out. At Tod's alarmed call Mr. Fulton came on the run. "It's been tampered with," was his immediate decision. "Screw on the pump, boys, and force up a gallon or so, If there isn't water in that gas we're the luckiest folks alive. I might have known those crooks had a final shot in their locker!" "What's the idea?" asked Mr.
And so, if you please, would you be so kind as not to think quite so badly of me?" It was all so humble and pretty and remorseful that he was quite touched by it. That old temptation to kiss and console her made it quite dangerous for him to linger. She was such a lovable sight with her tear-wet cheeks, and that dubious but faithfully worked-at garment of Tod's in her hand.
Let me tell ye all, that it was not Tom Channing's brother took the bank-note; it was their brother Gerald's and Tod's! It was my ill-doing boy, Roland, who took it." No one knew where to look.

As he raised his eyes, he beheld the Marquis of A , who, having arrived at the Tod's Hole, had walked forth to look for his kinsman.
"Didn't it look like something blackish in the bottom of the boat?" "She's full of water, that's all. Tod's down there under the fall. He's drowned, I tell you! What shall we do? What shall we do!" Excitable Dave was fast losing his head. "Come on!" shouted Jerry, aroused by the helplessness of his companion. "We've got to get to the mill and have them turn the water through the race.
It's a dark uncanny loan, forby that the kirk has aye had an ill name since the days o' James the Saxt and the deevil's cantrips played therein when the Queen was on the seas; and as for Tod's house, it was in the mirkest end, and was little liked by some that kenned the best. The door was on the sneck that day, and me and my faither gaed straucht in.
The next instant the man was on the floor, the captain's fingers twisted in his throat. Tod's eyes were now the barrels of that gun. No cat-like spring followed; only a cold, stony stare, as if he were awaking from a concussion that had knocked the breath out of him. "He says Bart's ALIVE!" he gasped. "Who? That feller I sent with ye?" "Yes."
A deal he cares: he be just as sprack as ever. As I say to Tod it bean't no use fretting over that boy." "Have patience," answered John, who had again carried the unfortunate young scapegrace from our parlour into Mrs. Tod's kitchen the centre room of the cottage; and was trying to divert the torrent of maternal indignation, while he helped her to plaster up the still ugly looking wound.
When the Skyrocket finally circled about Lost Island and settled down over the narrow landing field as easily as a homing pigeon, to come to a stop with hardly a jar, it was bringing news to Mr. Fulton that was bound to soften the heart of any dad.
