Hannah More, to whom her obligations were so surpassing? The merits of the question involved in the dissension between Ann Yearsley and Mrs. H. More, lay in a small compass, and they deserve to be faithfully stated; the public are interested in the refutation of charges of ingratitude, which, if substantiated, would tend to repress assistance toward the humbler children of genius.
And thus they sat, held in each other's arms and watching the sleeping Anna, until the handle was gently turned, and Betty appeared in the door-way. A very pale, weary Betty she looked now she was away from her own darkened room. "Kitty, Dr. Yearsley is looking for you. I think Aunt Pike is awake and asking for you."
Then we will follow up the Indians' trail; and maybe some of their braves won't get back to boast of their victory, if you will only do as I tell you. "Of course, we at once agreed to accompany Simon Yearsley such was our friend's name and follow his directions.
"At first we thought of remaining in the house until Mr Yearsley and the settlers whom we supposed had gone in pursuit of the savages should return; but Stephen suggested that this might be dangerous, as we should not know what was happening outside.

The fire had burned itself out, and I could see no one moving. We waited all that day and might have waited for several more, until our cattle had eaten up the herbage without being discovered; but Mr Yearsley did not appear, nor could we see any signs of the other settlers. "We did our best to amuse you and Lily.

"We were wondering what had become of Yearsley, when we caught sight of him rushing out from amid the burning huts. "`They are all killed! all, all, all! he shrieked out. `Follow me, lads; and he pointed with a significant gesture in the direction he supposed the Indians had taken.
Indeed, had we not thought it our duty to wait for Mr Yearsley, we should have harnessed the cattle, and endeavoured to make our way down the mountain in the dark.
