Tod's blows fell about his back, but the boy struggled on until Archie reached over the gunwale, and with a twist of his wrist, using all his strength, dropped the invader to the sand below. The success of this mode of attack was made apparent, provided they could stick to the plank. Five boys now climbed up.
This he slowly unwound, Tod's and the captain's eyes following every turn of his fingers. Opening the book, he glanced over the leaves, found the one he was looking for, tore it carefully from the book, and handed it to the captain. "That's his writing. If you want to see him send him a line to that address. It'll reach him all right. If you don't want to see him he'll go back with me to Rio.
Her father, old Colonel Moray, was just that sort; by George, he was a regular black Highlander. What's the trouble exactly?" It was Stanley who answered: "That sort of agitation business is all very well until it begins to affect your neighbors; then it's time it stopped. You know the Mallorings who own all the land round Tod's.
At three minutes before seven Macgregor stood outside Miss Tod's little shop, waiting for the departure of a customer. It would be absurd to say that his knees shook, but it is a fact that his spirit trembled. Suspended from a finger of his left hand was a small package of Christina's favourite sweets, which unconsciously he kept spinning all the time.
And then, in the time of blackest doubt, Bull Hunter had become a hero and accomplished the great feat ridden Diablo, before all the incredulous eyes of the watchers.

Tod deserves the credit."
And go on with Tod's pinafores and dresses, my dear, and don't be discouraged if they are a failure at first, though to my eyes that dress is a most sumptuous affair.

"Yes," he replied, "quite sure."
Tod's reasoning, was successful; we received a message to the effect that Miss March would not refuse our "kindness."

Don't you dare to touch her," and Tod's eyes blazed as he flung himself toward the big man. "What is it all about? What is the matter?" exclaimed Dolly, who couldn't understand what she had supposed was a good-natured chat with the fishermen. "They want us to pay ten dollars," said Dotty, indignantly, "and unless we do, they're going to lock us up."
The children, who had recoiled, drew close again, while the drunken bee crawled feebly in the cage of Tod's large hand. "Bees sting," said Biddy; "I fell on a bee and it stang me!" "You stang it first," said Tod. "This chap wouldn't sting not for worlds. Stroke it!" Biddy put out her little, pale finger but stayed it a couple of inches from the bee. "Go on," said Tod.
If our friends at the Hall had to do these jobs for themselves, there wouldn't be any to do!" Presently, from his discreet distance, he saw the mother-child going down the road toward Tod's, in her blue 'pinny' and corn-colored hair. Nice little thing! Pretty little thing, too!
