The children were not allowed to take the boat save under Thomas's careful eye; but, as has been pointed out, Margaret Hamilton had her faults. Raymond Mortimer struggled weakly in the gulf of temptation, then succumbed and went under. "All right," he said, largely, "I will. We'll have lunch, too, and p'r'aps I'll build a fire."
I'd be willin' for him to stay away, and leave me alone, but as she wants him punished, he shall be, and she mustn't interfere at the end. It'll do her good to find out that things can't both be done and undone, if she's that sort. But p'r'aps she won't want to undo them.
"You c'n see the bottom of the lake fathoms an' fathoms beneath us," he said. "Yes," agreed Rube, peering down into the transparent depths. He raised his head and added: "You was sayin' th' other day, Kiddie, that no white man, an' p'r'aps no red man either, had ever lived in these parts in ancient times."
"P'r'aps you will wait for me here." And with that he relinquished her arm, and made his halting, difficult way across the room to the door. Anne sat down before the fire to wait. She had, to a large extent, recovered her self-control, but a deadly weariness was upon her which she found it impossible to shake off. She kept it at bay for a time while she listened for any sound.
Her father wouldn't refuse, though he'd feel bad p'r'aps; he never refused her anythin'. If fifteen hundred dollars would be enough for George alone, three thousand would do for both of them.

He always regarded that lady with an amused indifference. "She bothers so," he said once to Lucy. "Do you think she's happy with us, Lucy?" "P'r'aps. I'm sure it doesn't matter." "I suppose she'd go away if she wasn't," he concluded, and thought no more about her. No, the real grief in his heart was that Lucy, the adored, the wonderful Lucy, treated his assertions with contempt.
"Well, it's time we woke up ter ther situation, er soon we won't hev no more cattle than a rabbit." "That's so. We'll run a count of them in the morning." "It's shore got me puzzled. I can't think whar they could hev gone." "Strayed, possibly." "P'r'aps. Ever hear o' there bein' any rustlers in this part o' ther country?" "No, I never have.
Would ye mind takin' a letter from me to Rosey, and bringin' back an answer?" Renshaw stared speechlessly at this absurd realization of his wish of a moment before. "I don't think I understand you," he stammered. "P'r'aps not," returned Nott, with great gravity. "But that's not so much matter to you ez your time and expenses."
"P'r'aps Massa Doctor will say him over ag'in," interrupted the old negro, whose memory began to fail him, just as the other made so confident an allusion to his powers of comprehension.
