Kincaid is my friend," he hissed. "Understand that? He's my best friend. If you ever say anything about this afternoon " "Let go!" cried Johnny struggling. "You hurt! You needn't get mad about it.

But the night got darker and darker; the decoys heavier and heavier; the water colder and colder. Little by little the glory of the day was draining away. Mr. Kincaid, leaning strongly against the punt-pole, watched him for some time in silence. "Pretty hard work?" he enquired at last. "Yes, sir," said Bobby miserably. "Why is it hard?"
