Gering saw the fruitlessness of resistance and, to save his companions' lives, yielded. The siege of Quebec was over. The British contented themselves with holding their position till Walley returned bearing the admiral's orders to embark again for the fleet. And so in due time they did in rain, cold, and gloom.
She was so cheery. Even now she was offering me a piece of gingerbread. I ate it ravenously. Then I asked, "Where is Tip?" "He's gone down the walley to my brother-in-law, Harmon Shadrack's. He's tryin' to borry a me-yule." "A what?" "A me-yule. The colt was dead beside you in the creek.
It was a futile question, because Brit was already going off into unconsciousness. "He's hurt pretty bad," Swan declared honestly; looking up at her with his eyes grown serious. "I was across the walley and I saw him coming down the road like rolling rocks down a hill. I came quick. Now we make stretcher, I think, and carry him home. I could take him on my back, but that is hurting him too much."
"It will take you forever to reach it," was the half-growled retort. "I ain't chasin' sunsets.

There was one moment when the cannonading was greatest and the skirmishers seemed withdrawn, that Gering, furious with the delay, almost prevailed upon the cautious Walley to dash across the river and make a desperate charge up the hill, and in at the back door of the town. But Walley was, after all, a merchant and not a soldier, and would not do it.
"To Happy Walley," Tip cried, lifting the stick he always carried in these nights and pointing away toward Thunder Knob. "I'm done with Black Log. I'm goin' where there is peace and quiet." "You lead the life of a hermit?" I suggested. "A what?" Tip exclaimed. "You live in a cave in the woods and eat roots and nuts and meditate," I explained. "You think I'm a squirrel," snapped the fugitive.
After the school bell rings the streets do get quiet but there is nothing depressing about that; for as you pass along you see at doors and windows the contented faces of busy women. Old Mrs. Walley sits at her up-stairs front window sewing carpet rags. Grandma Dudley at her sitting room window is darning her grandchildren's stockings and carefully watching the street.
If you walley my precious life don't upset me, as the gen'l'm'n said to the driver when they was a-carryin' him to Tyburn. And quickening his pace to a sharp run, Mr. Weller wheeled his master nimbly to the green hill, shot him dexterously out by the very side of the basket, and proceeded to unpack it with the utmost despatch.
