Meanwhile the regicide and the Queen drew together what forces his power could command and her promises allure, and they advanced from Dunbar to Carberry Hill, where they encamped. The army of the Covenanters at the same time left Edinburgh to meet them. Mary appeared at the head of her troops; but they felt themselves engaged in a bad cause, and refused to fight.
If instead of taking your liver on a horse you'd put it in a tent and feed it nuts and berries, you wouldn't be the color you are to-day, Tish Carberry." That really started the whole thing, although at the time Tish said nothing.
At breakfast Frank had to go over the whole story again for the benefit of Janet, who had heard enough about it from the doctor before her brother came down to whet her appetite for more. Frank could see that she shared the suspicions entertained by Andy. Janet knew Puss Carberry of old and despised him most heartily.
Midway on the two-mile stretch of prairie that lay between our shanty and the village of Carberry, was the corner-stake of the farm; it was a stout post in a low mound of earth, and was visible from afar. I soon noticed that Bingo never passed without minutely examining this mysterious post.

"Didn't it land on the summit of Old Thunder Top ahead of you and Sandy, in the race that afternoon?
Bad as Puss Carberry is, I can't just believe he'd ever do that." "Well, I hope not," returned the other, but there was a trifling vein of doubt in his voice, for he had long ago ceased trying to figure to what depth of depravity those two schemers might descend.

It's dangerous smoking where there's a lot of gasoline about." "Of course we've got that Puss Carberry and his mean crony, Sandy Hollingshead, to consider.
