"He air mine now," she answered slowly, raising her head, "and I stays here with him till he dies." "Nope; ye be a-comin' to my shanty to-morry. Mammy air expectin' ye.... And ye'll be glad to come afore I gets done with ye!" Tess shivered. She remembered Myra's broken wrist, and heard again the woful cry from the other squatter girl as she told of the harm done her.

Amy was a tall child of eight, with a frank, happy face, and long light hair hanging down her back.
