His first impulse, which he would have acted upon a few weeks since, was to steal away undetected; his second, born of his own sadness to-night, was to stay and help the poor fellow, if he could. He took a step forward, and spoke softly, "Dan!" The boy sat up with a sudden jerk, and gazed at him, wide-eyed, white as the froth in the stream's eddies. "Will!" he whispered. "Have you come at last?"
At the corner of the warehouse, Miss Carewe detached her hand from Crailey's, yet still followed him as he made a quick detour round the next building. A minute or two later they found themselves, undetected, upon Main Street in the rear of the crowd. There Crailey paused. "Forgive me," he said, breathlessly, "for taking your hand. I thought you would like to get away."
Led by the two young scouts, the entire command managed to advance, undetected, to a point from which Captain Freeman could dimly make out the mud walls of the datto's fort.

When he got into the free State of Pennsylvania, he felt more joy than he dared express.

There is great encouragement for the seemingly backward, hesitant youth in the story of Henry Ward Beecher's early life.
One or two trifling and undetected peculations favoured his folly, until a large sum happening to lie at his sole mercy for a week or two, he made such an inroad on it as compelled a flight. Having made up his mind to quit England, he thought it would be as easy to escape with forty thousand pounds as with the few hundreds he had already appropriated to himself.
I suggested that we should hold counsel here, that two should remain, and that you should sally out with the others, but our faces are all so well known in the town that there would be little chance indeed of your passing undetected."

As the Indian had remarked, the road was undoubtedly rough; they could not therefore get along very rapidly; but the half-hour had not quite expired when Jose laid his finger on his lips and held up his hand as a sign for the troop to halt.
